Oversized Gear Transfers, Why Choose Our Specialist Gear Transfer?

The Gold Coast is renowned for its surf breaks, golf courses, and adventure sports. Generic shuttles often can’t handle longboards, clubs, or dive tanks safely. Our Kia Carnival and Maxi Taxi services are specifically equipped with the space and protective measures you need for peace of mind for Oversized Gear Transfers

How to Book: Selecting Vehicles & Extras

• Kia Carnival (up to 7 passengers): Ideal for one or two boards plus luggage.
• Maxi Taxi (up to 11 passengers): Perfect for groups or multiple large items.
• Meet & Greet: included at Gold Coast Airport for the sedan, Kia Carnival and V300 ($15 for a Maxi Taxi); $33 at Brisbane Airport. The driver helps load and unload your gear either way.
• Child seats are $25 each (Kia Carnival, V300 or Maxi Taxi only).

Oversized Gear Transfers, Packing & Protection Tips

Use padded board bags for surfboards and hard cases for golf clubs. Wrap delicate gear—like dive tanks or instruments—in bubble wrap and secure them with straps or rope inside the cargo area.

Surfers: Handling Your Board

1. Slide your board tail-first into its bag.
2. Lay it flat on the cargo floor or upright behind seats.
3. Place soft padding between boards and vehicle walls.
4. Secure with straps or ask for our Meet & Greet assistance.

Golfers: Fitting Your Clubs

1. Stow your clubs in a hard-shell case.
2. Stand the case upright in the boot or aisle space.
3. Lock the case latch and wrap stand legs to save space.
4. Ask for extra padding if you have multiple bags.

Other Equipment (Bikes, Dive Gear, Instruments)

Bikes can be partially disassembled and packed in their boxes. Dive tanks should be empty and secured upright. Musical instruments belong in sturdy flight cases—let us know at booking so we can allocate space.

Fees & Surcharges

• No extra charge for oversized gear (surfboard, golf bag, bike box or bag, full-size pram or similar). Tick the oversized-item box when booking, and if you have more than one item say how many in the booking notes so we send a vehicle with room.
• Meet & greet: included at Gold Coast Airport for the sedan, Kia Carnival and V300 ($15 for a Maxi Taxi); $33 at Brisbane Airport.
• No public holiday surcharge.
• Child seats $25 each.
• Fixed fares apply 5am–10pm; pickups between 10pm and 5am add a flat $50 after-hours surcharge.

On-Arrival Tips

Our driver will meet you at arrivals with a name board. We’ll help unload and place your gear where you need it—whether it’s the terminal curb or hotel lobby. Remember to tip if you enjoyed the service!
