Booking and dates
How far in advance should I book a limo on the Gold Coast?
As early as your date is set, because there are two vehicles and one date can only go to one group. Formal and wedding Saturdays go first.
What is the minimum hire?
One hour.
How many hours should I book?
Work it out from the run rather than from a rule: the pick up, the drive, the stops, the drop off, and whether you want the car for the trip home.
Do you run on weekdays and weekends?
Both.
Can I change my booking after it is made?
Yes, with at least a week's notice, and as long as the vehicle is free.
What are the limo hire minimum hours?
One hour. That is the shortest booking we take.
How far in advance should you book a limo?
As early as the date is set. Two vehicles, one date each, and formal and wedding Saturdays go first.
What age can you hire a limo at?
The person booking needs to be an adult. Students can travel for a school formal with the booking made by a parent or an organiser, and those bookings are alcohol free.
What should I expect from limo hire on the day?
The vehicle arrives at the booked time with a licensed chauffeur who stays with it for the whole booking. What to expect from limo hire beyond that is in the terms.
Can you drink alcohol in a limo in Australia?
Rules differ between Queensland and New South Wales and we do not give legal advice. What we allow is set out above: over 18s, own drinks, cans or plastic, nothing opened while the vehicle is moving, and no alcohol at all on a school formal.
The two Hummers
How many people fit in a Hummer limo?
Sixteen in the Golden Sunset and fourteen in the Pearl White.
What is the difference between the two?
Colour, seat count and the interior. The gold H2 has the full length mirror roof, the white one has the disco floor. Both have Bluetooth and the lighting.
Which one is the gold Hummer?
The Golden Sunset, an H2 stretch in gold. The white one is Pearl White, a 14 seat stretch.
Can I see the vehicle before I book?
Each car has its own page with photographs of that exact vehicle.
Price and payment
How much does it cost to hire a Hummer?
$800 for the first hour, $600 for the second and $400 for the third, GST included, with set prices for weddings, pub crawls, hens and bucks, tours and formals on the prices page.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle, per hour. Groups usually divide it themselves afterwards.
How much is the deposit, and is it refundable?
A deposit confirms your date, and the amount and the terms are written on your quote before you pay anything.
What happens if we run over the booked time?
Extra time is charged at $100 per 15 minutes.
On the day
Does the chauffeur stay with the vehicle?
Yes, for the whole booking.
What happens if the vehicle breaks down?
We arrange a replacement where we can. It is the question worth asking any operator before you pay, not after.
Can we be picked up from more than one address?
Yes. It changes the hours you need rather than the way the booking works.
What is not allowed in the vehicle?
No smoking, no vaping and no drugs, at any time.
Can you drink in a limo?
You are welcome to bring your own drinks. We ask for cans or plastic rather than glass, that nothing is opened while the car is moving, and that anyone drinking is over 18. Your chauffeur can stop at a bottle shop on the way if you mention it when you book. School formal bookings are alcohol free.
Who pays if something is broken or the car is left in a mess?
The person who made the booking. A cleaning charge applies if the vehicle needs more than a normal clean, and breakages are charged at cost. The booking terms set it out.
Where we go
Which suburbs do you cover?
The whole Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Southport and Coolangatta, plus Main Beach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Currumbin, Robina, Varsity Lakes, Nerang, Helensvale, Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove, Coomera, Upper Coomera, Pacific Pines, Mudgeeraba, Tugun and Tamborine Mountain.
Do you go to Brisbane, Byron Bay or Tamborine Mountain?
Yes to all three. We run the M1 from Brisbane down to Ballina, and Tamborine Mountain is where the hinterland tour days go. Bookings that start or finish outside the Gold Coast are quoted with the travel time included and a minimum hire.
Do you cross the New South Wales border?
Yes: Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Byron Bay, Lennox Head, Ballina and Lismore. Between October and April, New South Wales runs on daylight saving and Queensland does not, so every cross border booking is confirmed in one stated time zone.
Do you do airport runs?
Gold Coast Airport, yes, for a group in one vehicle. Brisbane Airport is about 73 minutes each way, so it is quoted as a block of hours rather than as a transfer, and two people with suitcases are better served by a shuttle.
