Maximum Luggage Space
FIFO workers carry kit bags, personal bags, and PPE. Our 10 and 13-seater maxi cabs have the largest luggage capacity of any Queensland taxi. No gear left behind.
Pre-Dawn Pickups, No Surcharge
We operate 24 hours a day including 3am and 4am pickups for early morning flights. Unlike rideshares, we charge standard metered fares regardless of the hour.
Roster-Based Scheduling
Tell us your roster cycle and we schedule every transfer in advance. Set it once and arrive on time for every rotation, no scrambling the night before departure.
BRISBANE FIFO AIRPORT TRANSPORT
Queensland's resource sector sends thousands of fly-in fly-out workers through Brisbane Airport every week, heading to Bowen Basin coal mines, northwest Queensland, and interstate sites. FIFO workers travel differently: kit bags, PPE gear, and personal luggage combine for loads that standard taxis cannot handle.
Our 10-seater and 13-seater maxi cabs are the two vehicles most commonly booked for FIFO transfers. The 10-seater carries 9 passengers with 7 large bags. The 13-seater minibus carries 12 passengers with 8 or more large bags. Both handle the full kit bag load without extra charges or luggage restrictions.
FIFO ROUTES FROM BRISBANE SUBURBS
All fares are Queensland Government metered. No early-morning surcharge unlike rideshare services.

ROSTER-BASED FIFO BOOKING
Roster scheduling removes the last-minute scramble the night before an early departure. Provide your roster cycle (2/1, 3/1, or other) and we lock in every transfer in advance, with email and SMS confirmation for each booking.
For full FIFO crews of up to 12 travelling together, the 13-seater minibus handles everyone in one vehicle: one invoice, one driver, zero coordination between vehicles. Corporate accounts with monthly invoicing are available for mining companies and contracting firms with regular FIFO transport needs.

FIFO TRANSFERS: FAQs
What is a FIFO transfer and why use a maxi cab?+
FIFO (fly-in fly-out) transfers transport resource workers from home to Brisbane Airport before their site flights. Maxi cabs are ideal because FIFO workers carry large kit bags, personal luggage, and PPE. Our 10 and 13-seater maxi cabs have the largest luggage capacity of any Queensland taxi option.
Can I book recurring FIFO transfers for my roster cycle?+
Yes. We offer roster-based scheduling for FIFO workers. Set up your 2/1 or other roster cycle and we confirm each transfer automatically. This removes the stress of booking the night before an early morning departure. Call 0431 971 395 to set up your roster schedule.
Do you do early morning FIFO pickups in Brisbane?+
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, including early morning pickups from 3am and 4am for 5–6am Brisbane Airport flights. Unlike rideshare services, we don't apply surge pricing for early hours. The metered Queensland Government fare applies regardless of time.
Can a full FIFO crew travel together in one maxi cab?+
Yes. Our 13-seater minibus accommodates up to 12 FIFO workers in one vehicle with large luggage space. Instead of booking multiple smaller taxis or rideshares, one 13-seater covers the whole crew: one invoice, one driver, guaranteed space for all gear.
Which vehicle is best for a FIFO airport transfer?+
Our 10-seater maxi taxi (9 passengers, 7 large bags) is ideal for individual or small FIFO groups. Our 13-seater minibus (12 passengers, 8+ bags) suits full FIFO crews. Both offer maximum luggage space and comfortable seating for the airport journey.
