Brisbane airport is about 86km north of Surfers Paradise, which means getting between the two requires some planning. You could make the trip on public transport; buses, trains and shuttles service the airport and depart with relative frequency. But that could take hours. Alternatively, you could hire a car or taxi. But that would be expensive and you wouldn’t be receiving excellent value for money.

Or, you could opt for Car Australia’s airport transfer services from Brisbane airport to Surfers Paradise.

Brisbane airport: combining efficiency with leisure

Another important part of your journey is the airport itself. If you haven’t been to Brisbane airport before, you may be wondering where to go and what to do. Luckily, getting around Brisbane airport is incredibly simple. The collection point for both the international and domestic terminals is directly out the front. All you have to do is step outside and you’ll be able to follow the signs to you pick up point. In the international terminal, it’s on level two. In terms of drop off points, the same applies.
