"An absolutely wonderful service and the most reasonably priced we found for 5 friends with suitcases. The driver was waiting for us at the baggage claim and took our bags to the van just outside the front door. We had an early morning flight back and was picked up at 5:30am and didn't cost any extra."

❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you travel.

How long does the Cairns Airport to Port Douglas transfer take?
+
The drive is approximately 68 km and takes around 60–80 minutes depending on the route and any stops. Private transfers are always the fastest as they go direct; shared shuttles may take a little longer if there are multiple drop-offs along the way.
What is the difference between a private and shared transfer?
+
A private transfer is exclusively for you and your group — direct route, no stops, and you depart as soon as you're ready. A shared shuttle is more affordable but the vehicle picks up and drops off other passengers along the route, which may add up to 20–30 minutes to your journey.
Do you track flights for delays?
+
Yes — absolutely! All airport transfers include complimentary real-time flight monitoring. If your flight is delayed or arrives early, your driver will adjust accordingly. You will not be charged any waiting fees for flight delays.
Can I bring a surfboard, bicycle or oversized luggage?
+
Yes! For oversized or unusual items, simply add a note at checkout when booking. We will match you with a vehicle that has the right space. Additional fees may apply for very large items — we'll advise you upfront before confirming your booking.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
+
We offer a full refund for cancellations made more than 24 hours before your scheduled transfer. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a fee. Please contact us as early as possible if your plans change — we will always try to accommodate you.
Do you provide child safety seats?
+
Yes — child seats, infant capsules and booster seats are all available at no extra charge. Please specify the age and weight of each child when you complete your booking so we can install the correct seat before your transfer.
Where will my driver meet me at Cairns Airport?
+
Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign displaying your name. For the international terminal, meet-and-greet is just after customs. For the domestic terminal, your driver will be waiting just outside the baggage claim area.
