When booking, include the full street address, building name, unit number, driveway notes and the best meeting point.

If you are departing from a beachside unit or hotel, allow extra time for lifts, luggage, parking movement and walking to the vehicle.
Queensland and NSW Border Pickup Notes
Coolangatta sits beside Tweed Heads and the Queensland–NSW border. Some streets, hotels and unit blocks are close to the border line.
Please include the full address and postcode when booking so there is no confusion between Coolangatta, Tweed Heads, Kirra or nearby Bilinga.
Queensland uses AEST all year. New South Wales uses daylight saving time during part of the year, so cross-border bookings need clear times.
If your pickup is in NSW, state whether the time is NSW time or Queensland time when you enquire.
Kirra, Greenmount, Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks Transfers
Coolangatta includes popular beach and surf areas such as Kirra, Greenmount, Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks.
These areas can be busy on weekends, public holidays, surf events and sunny afternoons, so clear pickup notes help the driver find you faster.
If you are travelling with beach gear, surfboards, prams or extra bags, include those details before booking.
The Kia Carnival or Maxi Taxi may be better if the group has more luggage than a sedan can comfortably carry.
Families, Child Seats and Luggage
Coolangatta airport transfers are common for families staying in beach apartments, holiday homes, hotels and southern Gold Coast accommodation.
Child seats are $25 per seat. Please request baby seats, toddler seats or booster seats before pickup.
The Kia Carnival is often the best family option for Coolangatta transfers. It gives extra space for child seats, prams and bags.
The Maxi Taxi is better for larger family groups, cruise luggage or several passengers with large suitcases.
Helpful pages include child seats, toddler seat airport transfers, booster seat transfers and airport transfer with kids checklist.
Luggage and Bulky Item Guide
Luggage space is one of the biggest reasons to choose the right vehicle before pickup. Coolangatta visitors often travel with beach gear, prams, suitcases and surfboards.
Please list large suitcases, carry-on bags, prams, golf clubs, surfboards, scooters, wheelchairs or bulky equipment when booking.
If you have three passengers with several large bags, the Kia Carnival may be more comfortable than a Standard Sedan.
If your group has eight or more passengers, or lots of cruise luggage, the Maxi Taxi is usually the better match.
