What are you planning?

One charter, everyone together

Weddings

Guest shuttles between ceremony, photos and reception, timed to the minute — from $120 per hour with a dedicated coordinator on the day. More on wedding transfers.

Corporate & conferences

Delegate transfers, team offsites and roadshows with GST tax invoices, monthly billing for approved accounts, and NDAs on request.

Cruise groups

Whole-group transfers to the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal — one coach instead of ten taxis, luggage trailer available.

Airport groups

Sports teams, school trips and tour groups met inside arrivals with name boards, flights tracked, fixed prices per vehicle.

Winery & brewery tours

Private Tamborine Mountain wine tours and brewery runs — build your own itinerary, we handle the driving.

Events & parties

Concerts, race days, theme parks, hens and bucks — door-to-door both ways so nobody drives home.

End of year

Christmas parties and work functions

The staff Christmas party is the one night of the year nobody should be driving to. One vehicle takes the team to the venue and home again, door to door, at a price agreed before you book — per vehicle rather than per head, so it does not climb every time somebody else says yes.

The whole team fits

Six in the V-Class, ten or fourteen in a Sprinter, eighteen in the mini coach, fifty-three in the King Long. Groups over 53 travel in multiple vehicles timed together.

No designated driver

Nobody draws the short straw, and nobody stands in a taxi queue outside a venue at midnight in December.

One invoice for the company

A written all-inclusive price — driver, fuel, tolls and GST — usually within the hour, with a GST tax invoice for the books.

Half a day covers most parties: a Sprinter 10-Seater from $640, the 53-seat coach from $1,550, both in the table above. Parties running past 11 pm carry the standard after-hours pick-up of $50 — better known before you book than after. Send us the date and the headcount and we will price it.

Charter questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is minibus hire in Brisbane?

A Sprinter mini bus charters from $640 for a half day and $1,160 for a full day, driver included. If what you need is one airport run rather than a day's hire, book it as a transfer instead and it costs less: Brisbane Airport to the CBD is $180 in the Sprinter 10 and $255 in the Sprinter 14, fixed, which is about $18 a head with ten on board.

Do you hire out minibuses for self-drive?

No. Every minibus and coach we run comes with a professional chauffeur — we are not a self-drive rental company. If you want to drive the vehicle yourself a rental firm is what you need, and we would rather say so now than waste your time. What we do instead is put the driver, fuel, tolls and GST into one fixed price.

How much does bus hire cost on the Gold Coast in 2026?

Our Sprinter mini buses charter from $640 for a half day and $1,160 for a full day; the 53-seat luxury coach from $1,550 half day and $2,300 full day. One-way airport group transfers start at $165 (Sprinter 10) and $700 (coach). Every quote is all-inclusive — driver, fuel, tolls and GST.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle — one fixed price covers the whole group. A full 14-seat Sprinter often works out cheaper per person than rideshares, with everyone travelling together.

Do you use subcontractors or brokers?

No. Every charter runs on a vehicle Sky Transfers owns, driven by our own professional chauffeurs. The vehicle in your quote is the vehicle that arrives.

Which bus size should I book for a wedding?

For up to 14 guests per trip, the Sprinter 14-Seater is our most-booked wedding vehicle; for 40+ guests moving at once, the 53-seat coach shuttles everyone in one run. Tell us your guest count and venues and we'll recommend the cheapest combination.

Do you run Gold Coast to Brisbane and Byron Bay charters?

Yes — Brisbane Airport, the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal, Byron Bay and Tamborine Mountain are all regular runs. Cross-border and hinterland itineraries are quoted individually, usually within the hour.

Can we bring drinks on board?

Water and soft drinks, absolutely. For alcohol, Queensland rules apply and it depends on the vehicle and occasion — ask when booking and we'll confirm what's possible for your charter.

How far ahead should we book a charter?

Weddings and school-holiday dates are best locked in 2–4 weeks ahead; corporate transfers and airport groups often just need a few days. Quotes are free and hold no obligation — call +61 481 437 772 for urgent dates.
