Dear Chris Hipkins,

I note there is a number of Crown Limos at various places outside the main centres of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch (where there are 16, 17 and 5 cars respectively). Which companies does the Crown contract to provide their VIP transport in smaller centres, like Tauranga and Dunedin? And how do these arrangements work?

Yours faithfully,
