AIRPORT TRANSFER DRIVERS

Exemplar Coaches and Limousines is proud to be the leading airport transfer company in the Cairns-Port Douglas region. We are a family run business operating since 1993, with the majority of Inbound Tour Operators and agents preferring to use our services above others.

Our drivers can plan their lives around work with set weekly rosters and daily manifests received by 5pm the day before work.
