Kia Carnival Airport Transfers — 7-Seat People Mover
The Short Answer
The Kia Carnival (or similar) carries up to 7 passengers with room for prams, surfboards, golf bags and a family’s suitcases — up to 9 large bags with four or fewer aboard, and 6 with a full load. It fits up to five baby seats, child seats or boosters, fitted before pickup. The fare is fixed per vehicle, GST included and locked at booking.
Book the Kia Carnival for 4–7 passengers, or for any group with a pram, boards, golf clubs or more than two suitcases.
The Kia Carnival at a Glance
Pricing basis: standard rates (6am–9pm). After-hours transfers between 9pm and 6am, Easter Sunday and optional extras may incur additional charges (closed on Christmas Day).
Who the Kia Carnival Suits
The Carnival is CGC’s most-booked vehicle. Families landing at Gold Coast Airport with a pram and car seats, surfers with board bags, golfers with travel bags, and groups of four to seven who would otherwise split across two cars all fit in one vehicle on one fixed fare.
Luggage by Group Size
| Passengers aboard | Large suitcases |
|---|---|
| 1–4 | Up to 9 |
| 5 | Up to 7 |
| 6–7 | Up to 6 |
Carry-on bags travel on top of these, and prams don’t count as luggage — they only rule out the sedan. The seats fold to make the room, so tell us the bags and any long items at booking. For more, see oversized luggage, boards and golf clubs.
Baby Seats and Child Seats
The Carnival takes up to five Australian-Standards seats — rear-facing baby seats, forward-facing child seats and boosters — fitted before pickup at $35 per seat. Give each child’s age at booking and the right seat is in place when the car reaches you. In New South Wales every child under 7 must travel in an approved restraint, and we fit the correct seat on both sides of the border. See airport transfers with kids and baby seats and child seats.
Groups of 8 or More
When the group is bigger than seven, the booking form offers to add a second vehicle — a sedan takes the group to 10 and a second Kia Carnival to 14 — or to keep everyone together in the 12-seater VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers). Both options are priced in the booking form before you pay.

How many passengers fit in the Kia Carnival?
Up to 7 passengers, plus the driver.
How many suitcases fit in the Kia Carnival?
It depends on how many people are aboard, because the seats fold to make room: up to 9 large suitcases with 4 or fewer passengers, up to 7 with 5 passengers, and up to 6 with 6 or 7 passengers, plus carry-on.
Can the Kia Carnival take surfboards and golf clubs?
Yes. It carries surfboards (up to 3 in 1–2 board bags) and golf bags, and the seats fold around long items. Declare them at booking so the space is planned before the day.
Can we bring a pram or stroller?
Yes. A pram or stroller fits in the Kia Carnival alongside the family’s luggage. It’s the reason families with prams book the Carnival rather than the sedan.
How many baby seats and child seats fit?
Up to five. We fit Australian-Standards rear-facing baby seats, forward-facing child seats and boosters before pickup, at $35 per seat. Give each child’s age at booking.
What if there are 8 or more of us?
The booking form offers to add a second vehicle — a sedan takes the group to 10, a second Kia Carnival to 14 — or to keep everyone together in the 12-seater VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers). Both options are priced in the booking form.
Is the Kia Carnival price per person?
No, it’s per vehicle. One fixed fare covers up to 7 passengers, GST included, locked at booking.
Will the driver meet us inside the terminal?
At Gold Coast Airport, yes: in-terminal meet & greet is included on every pickup. Brisbane Airport pickups are kerbside at the pre-booked bays, with in-terminal meet & greet available as a $49 add-on.
What if our flight is delayed?
We monitor the flight and the pickup moves with your actual landing time. Waiting is included for 45 minutes after a domestic landing and 90 minutes after an international one; after that it’s $2 per minute.
Do we need the Kia Carnival, or will the sedan do?
The sedan only suits 1 to 3 passengers with two check-in suitcases and no long items. A fourth passenger, a pram, a board or golf bag, or more luggage means the Kia Carnival.
