Does Black & White Cabs Have NDIS Transport in Brisbane?
Yes. Black & White Cabs is approved for NDIS and DVA (Department of Veterans' Affairs) transport in Brisbane. If you or a passenger requires transport funded under an NDIS plan or DVA entitlement, Black & White Cabs can process that claim directly.
Maxi Cabs Brisbane does not currently hold NDIS provider registration. If NDIS or DVA funding is the requirement, Black & White Cabs is the appropriate choice. For self-funded transport with wheelchair access, our 8-seater and 10-seater WAT vehicles remain available.
What Is the Maximum Group Size for Black & White Cabs in Brisbane?
Black & White Cabs' largest vehicle in Brisbane carries 10 passengers. For a group of 11 or more, a single Black & White vehicle cannot complete the trip. You would need two bookings and two vehicles.
Our 12-seater carries 11 passengers and our 13-seater minibus carries 12 — both options that Black & White Cabs cannot match in a single vehicle. For large group airport transfers, FIFO crews of 11 or 12, or event transport for groups at the upper end, Maxi Cabs Brisbane is the single-vehicle solution.
