Much better than shared shuttle, and not tremendously more expensive (shuttle from Port Douglas to Cairns City, not the airport) - Helpful and cozy driver, arrived on time, made sure that temperature mm suited us - perfect.

Perfect ride service from Cairns to Port Douglas! - Derek was on time - incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and was great to chat with on the ride from Cairns to Port Douglas, and had helpful recommendations on the local area. He was also an incredibly safe driver and we felt very well taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book!

5 Stars!!! - Cannot recommend Rodgers Rides highly enough. We used Derek and his drivers for our transfers to and from Cairns airport and also for a day trip to Hartley's Crocodile Adventures. They were so friendly and nothing was an issue, even when we wanted to be picked up earlier than planned. They were also very affordable. So much so compared to other companies that we thought it might have been dodgy! They definitely weren't! We won't be using anyone else on our next trip to Port Douglas. Thank you!

21st family getaway - Fantastic highly recommend So easy to navigate online. Prompt reply to my endless emails prior to our trip. Very professional will definitely be using Rodgers Rides again in the near future. From late night Cains Airport arrival pickup to a 5am collection from Port Douglas accommodation on completion of our amazing getaway.

Wonderful Service - Our recent transfer toCairns Airport from Port Douglas was a logistical nightmare following Cyclone Jasper causing much damage (Road Closures , Phones and internet down, Power failures and flooding etc) Zandra, Derek and Bryce facilitated our transfer so professionally recommending an earlier departure etc and Bryce had us at Airport with time to spare Well done “Team Rodgers “
