Airport Transfers
When you alight at Sunshine Coast airport you shouldn’t worry about ground transport. We’ve been doing airport transfers for a long time and assure you that you won’t miss your flight. COD does both private transfers and group transfers We take pride in our capable professional drivers trained for timekeeping and customer service. We are unmatched amongst other transfer companies operating in Sunshine Coast. Our fleet includes select luxury sedans both exotic and local if you’re looking for a private car.
We find that there are 2 types of familes that will holiday in QLD, the theme park family that will holiday on the Gold Coast and the more relaxed and sofiticated family that will want to relax on the Sunshine Coast, where each ember of the family can choose to do their own thing, rather than do the whole family adventure.
Regardless of this, they will all arrive together at the airport and leave together, and this is where we come in with our reliable airport transfers in either sedans or 7 seater people movers to accomodate the families and their bags.
Cars On Demand technoplogy and fail safe mechanisms
There are not that many flights to and from Sunshine Coast airport, so if you missed your flight, it would be a disater.
At Cars on Demand we use state of the art technolgy and we learn from our mistakes and we try to use technology to stops these mistakes from ever hapenning again.
Sometimes our drivers have to actually knock on the doors to wake peolpe up who have slept in, and they are ever so greatful to us for helping them make that flight.
90 minutes before each transfer, the website will promt drivers to confirm that they are on the way, if a driver does not do this, our computer systems will call this driver and remind them, and if there is no response then the computer will call the manager on duty and alert them that a driver has not confirmed. Luckily this is a very rare occurences as all of our drivers are reliable.
In the past maybe one transfer out of 5000 might have been missed, with this new technology, we have brought that number down to ZERO.
Guest Transfers
Do you have guests coming into the city? Our car service is capable of taking care of their ground transport for you. Our minibuses can handle up to twelve guests per car. We also avail buses on request. Using our unique platform, you could opt to let us send your guests SMSes to keep them as informed as you are on their travel details.
We tend to find that when a guest transfer is booked, its usually done for someone who does not know the area they are in, this is where the local knowledge of Cars On Demand comes in very handy, as we only use local drivers for all of our airport and meeting transfers, all of our drivers know the area that they work in quite well.
Meeting Transfers
If you’re here on business, we are more than willing to chauffeur you to and fro your meetings. You shouldn’t worry about commuting in a foreign location, we let you concentrate on the important tasks at hand.

Event Management
We do transport for all manner of events- even large ones. Our fleet is capable of handling your transport needs. We could avail a fleet of up to fifty vehicles for your use. Our team is also able to coordinate transport for you.
We find that a lot of the pharmaceutical companies hold their conferences up on the Sunshine Coast, we have done quite a few transfers transport Doctors who were booked to speak at conferences, and these doctors are very time poor and need efficient and reliable service.
