All vehicles are fully insured, and our drivers carry the appropriate passenger transport insurance required under Queensland legislation.

For your own peace of mind, we recommend that all passengers hold suitable travel insurance.

Drivers will wait up to 30 minutes from the scheduled pickup time. Delays exceeding 30 minutes may incur a $20 waiting fee.

Additional stops must be arranged prior to travel and may incur additional charges at the driver's discretion.

Under Queensland law, children aged 0 to 6 years must travel in an approved child restraint.

If a required child restraint is not requested when booking, we reserve the right to cancel the booking and any deposit paid may be forfeited.
