What it costs

These are the fares the booking form quotes, not estimates. The last column is what the Sprinter 10 works out at per person with ten aboard, which is the number worth comparing against anything else you are looking at.

Per vehicle, not per person. GST, tolls, driver, meet & greet and 30 minutes’ airport waiting are all inside the figure (60 minutes on international arrivals at Brisbane). Child seats $15 each. The same fare applies at 4am as at midday. Every suburb we price is on the full fare list.

What Brisbane groups actually book

Airport groups. The commonest job we do. Brisbane Airport to the CBD is 14.6 km and about twenty minutes, $180 in the Sprinter 10 and $255 in the 14 — roughly $18 a head with ten travelling. We track the flight, so a delay moves the pick-up rather than costing you a no-show, and the driver meets you inside arrivals with a name board.

Cruise days at Pinkenba. The Brisbane International Cruise Terminal is a fixed door-to-ship fare, the airport fare plus $25, and a minibus means the whole party and the whole pile of luggage move in one go. Ship arrivals are tracked the same way flights are.

Conferences and work functions. Hotel to venue and back, often late. One tax invoice per trip, monthly accounts if you book regularly, and no-one in the group has to drive or stay off the drinks. Christmas party season books out early.

Down to the Gold Coast. Brisbane Airport to Surfers Paradise is 84.7 km, a bit over an hour, $400 in the Sprinter 10. Split ten ways that is $40 each for a door-to-door run with luggage, which is where a minibus stops competing with the train and starts competing with convenience.

We are not a self-drive rental company. Every minibus and coach comes with a professional chauffeur, because that is the whole service. If you want to drive the vehicle yourself, a rental firm is what you need and we would rather say so here than take your call and disappoint you. What you get instead is a driver who knows the roads, a fixed price agreed before the day, and nothing to arrange on arrival.

Which size do you need?

Rideshare caps out well below this. An XL seats six and a standard car four, so a party of ten is two or three vehicles, two or three fares and two or three arrival times. One minibus is one price and everybody arrives together.

Questions

How much is minibus hire in Brisbane?

For a point-to-point run it is a fixed fare by suburb: Brisbane Airport to the CBD is $180 in the Sprinter 10 and $255 in the Sprinter 14, tolls and GST included. For a day of it, Sprinter charters run from $640 a half day and $1,160 a full day. The driver is in every one of those figures.

Do you hire out minibuses for self-drive?

No. Every minibus and coach we run comes with a professional chauffeur. If you want to drive it yourself you need a rental company, not us, and we would rather tell you now.

How many people fit in a minibus?

Our Sprinter 10 takes ten passengers and eleven bags; the Sprinter 14 takes fourteen and fifteen bags. Above that the 18-seat mini coach and the 53-seat coach are quoted per job. Below ten, a people mover seats seven and is cheaper.

Is a minibus cheaper than several rideshares?

Usually, once you are past about six people, and it gets further ahead the more of you there are. A rideshare XL seats six, so ten people is two cars and two fares set at the moment you travel. Ours is one vehicle at one price agreed in advance, about $18 a head to the CBD with ten aboard.

Can you do the Brisbane Cruise Terminal?

Yes, as a fixed door-to-ship fare from any suburb we price — the Brisbane Airport fare plus $25. Choose Brisbane Cruise Terminal as your drop-off in the booking form for an instant price. We track ship arrivals and meet disembarking passengers with a name board.

How far ahead should I book?

Online bookings close six hours before pick-up. For a minibus on a weekend, in school holidays or across Christmas party season, a week or two is sensible because we only have so many. Inside six hours, call +61 481 437 772 and we will take it if a vehicle is free.
