What Makes the 13-Seater Minibus Different in Brisbane?
The 13-seater minibus is the largest licensed taxi-class vehicle operating in Brisbane. It carries 12 passengers with 8 large suitcases and 8 carry-on bags. No other single licensed taxi in Brisbane carries more than 12 passengers.
This matters when your group is exactly 12. The alternative is splitting into two vehicles — two bookings, two fares, two arrival times. The 13-seater eliminates that. One booking, one driver, everyone arrives together.
Is the 13-Seater Minibus Available for Brisbane Airport Transfers?
Yes. The 13-seater minibus operates 24/7 across Brisbane and handles airport transfers, cruise terminal pickups, FIFO transfers, corporate events, weddings, and any group transport requirement for 12 people.
For a FIFO crew of 12 with kit bags, the 13-seater handles the full load — 8 large bags and 8 smaller bags covers a full crew's equipment. Call 0431 971 395 to confirm availability and arrange a recurring roster booking if needed.
