What to Know Before Booking Transport

In Tropical North Queensland, the spread between the city, the Northern Beaches, Port Douglas and the Tablelands makes transport part of the event plan rather than an afterthought. A chauffeured car or van keeps a group together, gets the couple to the ceremony and gets everyone home.

What the local options look like:

  • Luxury sedans: chauffeured Mercedes and Jaguar cars for a couple, a guest of honour or a small family group.
  • People movers: seven- and eight-seat Mercedes vans for a bridal party or a work group.
  • Stretch limousines: white stretch cars for weddings, anniversaries and big birthdays.
  • A stretch Hummer: seats 13 with a sound system, used for hens, bucks, formals and birthdays.
  • Pricing: hourly hire from $135 per hour, so ask about any minimum booking and travel charges.

The chauffeur services here cover the city, the Northern Beaches, the southern suburbs and Port Douglas, and most also travel to Kuranda and the Tablelands. Compare limousines and wedding cars for the detail.

Booking the right vehicle

  • Count heads first: sedans take a few, vans seven or eight, the Hummer 13.
  • Confirm hours, the pick-up and drop-off points and any waiting time.
  • Ask about travel charges for Port Douglas, Kuranda or the Tablelands.
  • Check the policy on drinks on board and on decorations or ribbons.

Planning around the tropics

  • Ask about air conditioning: in the humid months it matters as much as the look of the car.
  • Heavy rain slows the roads, so leave buffer time before a ceremony or a reef departure.
  • Dry-season Saturdays are busy with weddings, so lock in the car soon after the venue.
  • For a destination wedding, guests flying in may need transfers as well as the wedding-day cars.

Occasions that need a plan

  • Weddings: ceremony, photos and reception, often in different areas.
  • School formals: a pick-up from home and a fixed return time.
  • Corporate events: transfers between a hotel, an activity and dinner.
  • Hens and bucks: getting between bars and home safely.
