Quick Answer
Private hotel transfers in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast use a Lexus ES sedan for individuals and couples, V Class for groups of 4 to 7, and two vehicles travelling together for groups of 8 or more. The driver meets at arrivals (for airport to hotel) or at the hotel lobby entrance. All luggage is handled. Pricing is fixed at booking, no surges, no meters, no airport taxi queue.

Hotel transfers across Brisbane and the Gold Coast cover a wide range of scenarios: a business traveller landing at Brisbane Airport who needs to be at the Hilton in 45 minutes, a touring couple transferring between Gold Coast resort hotels mid trip, or a family arriving at Gold Coast Airport for a theme park resort stay. Each of these is a private hotel transfer booking, and each can be confirmed before the trip even begins for a fixed price.

Airport to hotel, hotel to venue, or multi stop hotel circuit. Confirmed before you land.
Hotel to Hotel Transfers
Travellers spending multiple nights in Queensland often need to move between hotels, finishing a business stay in Brisbane before heading to a resort on the Gold Coast, or transferring from an arrival night hotel near the airport to a central accommodation the following morning. Hotel to hotel transfers use the same Lexus sedan or V Class fleet with luggage handling at both properties.
