How We Can Help You

At Safe & Sound Transit, we understand the challenges differently abled individuals and those with mobility issues face when it comes to transportation. That’s why we are committed to providing reliable and efficient door-to-door booked hire transportation services to make your life easier. Our team of experienced drivers are trained to handle any situation, ensuring that you arrive at your destination safely and on time.

This service is perfect if you:

  • Are experiencing limited mobility

  • Have difficulties accessing public transport

  • Do not have your own transportation

We offer door-to-door service in our custom fitted, air-conditioned vans. As part of our policy, we are unable to enter homes.

Peace of Mind

Our drivers are all NDIS screened, hold a current QLD Drivers Authorisation card and are trained in customer service & safer driver techniques. Our vehicles are modified for the safe passage of mobility aids, the user and their carers. Our vehicles are also fitted with GPS trackers, are fully insured and operate within the QLD Transport Guidelines, ensuring your safety and ours.
