For Students & Universities

Welcome to your Australian study journey

Arriving in a new country is exciting — and overwhelming. That's why we make airport-to-accommodation transfers genuinely stress-free for international students arriving in South East Queensland for university, TAFE or language school.

The student transfer specialists since 1979

Airport Shuttle Services has spent over four decades transferring international students to Australian universities, TAFE colleges, language schools and homestay accommodation across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Whether your transfer is arranged through your university's intake program, your school's homestay coordinator, or you're booking directly — here's what's included as standard:

  • Meet-and-greet at international arrivals with a personalised name sign
  • WWCC-certified drivers for any student under 18 (Queensland legal requirement)
  • Real-time flight tracking — pickup auto-adjusts for delays, at no extra charge
  • Mercedes-Benz fleet with luggage assistance for multiple bags
  • Accommodation check-in supervision — we don't leave until you're inside
  • Live GPS tracking link shareable with parents and university supervisors

Why Students Choose Us

Six reasons international students arrive with us

Built specifically for the international student experience — not retrofitted from a generic shuttle service. Every detail considered.

🛡️

WWCC Certified Drivers

All drivers transferring under-18 students hold a current Working with Children Check (Blue Card), meeting Queensland's strict supervision requirements.

🎓

Custom University Signage

Our drivers display your university or school logo at arrivals, so you can identify them instantly — even on your first day in Australia.

🚪

Door-to-Door Service

From the international arrivals hall directly to your accommodation — no transfers, no second vehicles, no public transport navigation on arrival day.

🧳

Luggage Assistance

Two suitcases plus carry-ons? No problem. Our Mercedes-Benz vehicles handle student luggage loads, and our drivers help every step of the way.

🛬

Real-Time Flight Tracking

We monitor your flight number live. If you're delayed or arrive early, your pickup time is automatically adjusted — no extra calls, no extra fees.

📍

Live GPS Tracking Link

Universities and parents can track the vehicle from airport to accommodation in real time. Particularly valued for under-18 student arrivals.

The Service Detail

What makes our student transfer service different

Four pillars that universities and language schools across Queensland trust for their international intake programs.

🌟 Exceptional Customer Service

We make the often-overwhelming experience of arriving in a new country as positive as possible. We greet students at the airport with a warm welcome, carry institutional signage, and represent your university or school with the utmost professionalism.

Our drivers assist with every piece of luggage and ensure students are safely checked in at their accommodation before they leave. Under-18 students are only ever transferred by drivers with a current Working with Children Check.

🔄 End-to-End Coordination

We manage the entire international student transfer process for partner institutions — from initial booking through to accommodation check-in confirmation. Our online booking system can be customised with your university's branding and locked to eligible students only.

We communicate with students before arrival, manage flight delays automatically, and provide GPS tracking links so universities can monitor every transfer in real time.

✨ Premium Fleet Presentation

We operate a fleet of fully air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz vehicles — from sedans for individual students to V-Class and Sprinter vans for group arrivals and family travellers. Every vehicle is regularly serviced and professionally prepared before each transfer.

For many students, this is the first impression of Australia. We treat that responsibility seriously.

🌏 Welcoming, Multicultural Team

Our team understands the unique anxieties of arriving in a new country alone. Drivers are briefed on each student's background and any specific requirements flagged at booking.

For many international students, our driver is the first Australian they meet. We make sure that first impression is a great one.
