How do I make a booking on your website?

It’s easy! Simply go to our “Get a Quote” page and fill in your details. We will then be notified of your request and will email you back with a quote.

When you accept the quote we will send you a confirmation with all the details on it and book it into our system. ‘

We will then be in contact within a week before your booking to confirm all details and let you know who your driver will be.

What information do I need in order to book?

You will need the following information:

• Contact details
• Date
• Number of passengers
• Pick up address and time
• Drop off address
• Return address and time (if needed)

If this information is not known yet, please provide as much as your can and we can provide a tentative quote. This can then be updated when you know more.

How do I pay for my booking?

When your booking is confirmed we will send you an order/invoice with all booking and payment details on it.

We require a 50% deposit (or full payment) to be paid into our account via EFT 1 week prior to the date of booking. A payment receipt should be forwarded to our email address upon payment.

The balance is then payable in cash to the driver on first pick up.

Can I book a transfer with more than one stop?

Yes! Our quoting system charges from when we leave our depot to when we get back. Our drivers will make as many pickups as you would like and we will factor these pickups/dropoffs into our quote.

My booking requirements have changed, can I amend my booking?

All booking amendments must be confirmed 1 business day prior to the day of the booking. This is to ensure driver manifests are updated and informed of all changes.

Yes, we have a white luggage trailer that can be used for bags, sporting equipment and musical instruments. Please advise us of luggage trailer requirements on your booking.

How do I pay my balance?

If you have already paid your 50% deposit, the balance can either be paid via EFT (with payment receipt sent) or given to the driver in cash on first pick up.

If a receipt is needed, please let the office know and they will email you one the next business day.

Can I extend my booking on the day?
