When travellers arrive on the Sunshine Coast, the first friendly faces they often see belong to the team at TransfersToNoosa, a local, family-owned business redefining private airport transfers to and from Noosa. Known for its reliability, warmth, and community spirit, the company was named a finalist in the 2025 Sunshine Coast Business Awards in the Experience category.
Owned by Steve and Tash Laughton, TransfersToNoosa offers professional, private transfers between Noosa, Brisbane Airport, and Sunshine Coast Airport, with a focus on comfort, service, and local connection.
“We don’t just drive people to Noosa,” says Steve. “We create seamless, memorable experiences, and we take pride in being some of the first locals our visitors meet.”
The business operates with a simple mission: to make every journey stress-free and enjoyable, while giving back to the Sunshine Coast community. They proudly engage local retirees as professional drivers, offering flexible work and purpose, while ensuring guests receive a warm, knowledgeable welcome to the region. Drivers often go the extra mile, helping with luggage, sharing insider tips, or even collecting groceries or keys before guests check in.
TransfersToNoosa also partners with Steve and Tash’s second business, RentaCar Noosa, to provide a complete local travel solution. Guests can book a private transfer from the airport to their accommodation, then enjoy a rental car delivered and collected directly from their door, all arranged by one local team.
“Our customers love the convenience,” says Tash. “It saves them time and hassle, no waiting for shuttle buses or juggling luggage. Plus, our pricing is competitive, with no airport surcharges or hidden extras. Even if you only need a car for a day or two, RentaCar Noosa has you covered.”
Families are particularly well looked after, with complimentary, high quality and fully adjustable child seats with ISOFIX, the gold standard in safety. The spacious fleet accommodates surfboards, golf clubs, bikes, and even pets, helping visitors make the most of their Sunshine Coast stay.
Behind the scenes, innovation drives the business forward. They monitor flight delays and diversions and with our real-time GPS fleet tracking it gives them the ability to redirect their fleet where required to meet customers and be able to communicate with them giving them peace of mind.
Despite growing competition from rideshare platforms, Steve and Tash’s approach remains people-first, focused on staff wellbeing, personalised service, and genuine hospitality. Their dedication has earned them over 200 five-star Google reviews, a perfect TripAdvisor rating, and an ever-growing base of loyal customers.
“We’ve built our success on genuine care, for our team, our customers, and our region,” says Steve. “Being recognised as a finalist is an honour, but it’s really a reflection of the amazing people behind the wheel and the travellers who choose to support local.”
Whether you need private airport transfers to Noosa, a local sightseeing tour, or a car hire service delivered to your accommodation, Steve, Tash, and their team make every journey smooth, safe, and distinctly Noosa.
