The Cars On Demand Cairns Airport Transfer Experience
Our car service is unlike any other operating in Cairns. Because our service has been developed with you in mind, we are able to provide bespoke services. For private transfers, our service offers a wide range of limousines, either executive corporate limos or people movers. Our mission is to provide you with convenient, efficient and luxurious transport, at the most reasonable rates. Below is a list of the services we offer within the area.
Cairns Airport Transfers
As mentioned before, the COD offers Cairns Airport transfers and will transport you to and fro the city. Our team of drivers is specially trained such that they’ll always ensure you get to your destination on time. They track flight times to make sure you never miss a flight. For private transfers, we offer our limousine service. For groups, we have minibuses capable of handling up to twelve passengers.
Our Cairns drivers know exactly where the collection points are inside the airport , and other conference locations. So all you need to do is sit back and relax and we will drop your guests in the right place and pick them up from the right place.
Cairns Attractions
Our team in Cairns can also take you on hourly tours of all the tourist attractions and funthings to do there.
Here are 10 reasons why you should visit Cains:
Why should you use Cars on Demand?
There are several factors that will influence your decision in using our service.
But we think the 3 most important reasons are as follows:
1) Phone number masking technology
This is where we mask all local phone numbers and the link is cut off after the trip is complete, therefore drivers and customers can communicate before the trip and keep each others numbers private.
This comes in really handy when we are doing airport transfers for VIP celebrities, or high profile TV personel, or Politicians
2) Automated fail safe mechanism built into our driver app and software
Whether you have booked an airpot transfer or a dinner transfer, our intelligent systems will prompt and remind drivers of their iminetn upcoming transfers, and if for any reason the driver does not confirm on their app that they are on the way, then the system alerts the manger on duty who will take the matter into his won hands and make sure that the driver is on the way and if we cant get in touch with the driver then we immediatelly allocate another driver to come in as a replacement.
You can imagine that there are not that many flights in and out of Cairns, so if you miss a flight because your transport providoer forgot to collect you, then you would be in a pickle.
3) Our proprietary custom built pricing algorithm
Our minimum fare is $78, however as the journey becomes longer, the per km rate starts to drop, this is why we get so many long distance trips.
In some case, once the length of the trips exceeds about 50 or 60 km, we actually become cheaper than a taxi.
This is why we do a lot of transfers from Cairns Airprot to Port Douglas, it certainly beats all the shuttle services.
Guest Airport Transfers
If you want to book a Cairns Airport transfer for your guests coming into the city, look no further, the COD transport service is up to task. Our fleet is more than capable of handling all their transport needs. As aforementioned, we have minibuses capable of handling large groups. Buses will also be availed on request.
Most of the transfers we do in Cairns are for major organisations who are booking transfers for their senior executives to or from conferences, and we also do all of the families of our existing executive clients when they decide to go to Cairns for a holiday.
Meeting Transfers
For business travellers, we are more than willing to chauffeur you to your meetings in and around the city. We alleviate the trouble of commuting, allowing you to concentrate on the business at hand. If you’ll be having multiple stopovers or multiple destinations, we recommend you utilise our hourly service. It could prove to be more cost-effective.
Cairns is the city where we do a lot of hourly transfers, this is when a persoon has gone there for a conference but has limited time to see the sights, this is the best way to get as much into a short period of time. Please note that Cars On Demand started off as a Coporate Limo Service company, and then we started doing more and more holiday transfers across Australia.
Even Management
Our service has a dedicated experienced team, capable of co-ordinating transport for small to large events alike. Our team will coordinate with your event organiser to make sure that your attendees arrive to their desired destination promptly. we can avail up to a dozen cars depending on your requirements. As mentioned before, we will also avail buses at your request.
Special Events
Cairns is a beautiful city with a lot to see and do. If you’re looking to sightsee, you may hire us. We know the city inside out and are more than willing to take you to all the must-see attractions in and around the city. So we are not just a company that you use for your Cairns Airport Transfers, you can even use us if you are getting married there.
Hourly Hire
We don’t just do Cairns airport transfers, we are available for hourly hire. This makes our service in some cases more cost-effective. As I have mentioned above this type of transfer is really popular in Cairns

About Cairns Airport
Cairns Airport is the main International airport serving not just the city of Cairns, but more so, the nearby holiday destination towns like Port Douglas. Just under 5 million passengers go through Cairns Airport every year.
Getting To Cairns Airport
Given the distance from the CBD, getting to the airport should be relatively hassle-free. That said, we have compiled a list of ETA’s from the city’s surrounding suburbs, so you can plan your pick up time with accuracy. The ETA’s assume light traffic.
Depending on the traffic and the route you use, it will take you anywhere from ten to fifteen minutes to get from the city centre to the airport. This estimated time of arrival applies anywhere in the North Canberra district. From most areas in South Canberra, the estimated time of arrival is anywhere from fifteen to twenty minutes. Plan for a similar ETA if you’re transferring from Woden. If you’re coming from Belconnen, give yourself an allowance of about twenty-five to thirty minutes. The same applies for Weston Creek, Tuggeranong and Gungahlin.
