Brisbane Airport to Gold Coast: Pick up and Information

Brisbane airport is a well set out facility, which makes it very easy to navigate. The terminals have Wi-Fi on offer, as well as retail, entertainment and dining opportunities. Another great advantage is the airport’s drop off and pick up sections. The domestic terminal has a single stretch of road dedicated to pick ups and drop offs. These kerbside spaces include disabled access zones. However, you cannot wait for more than a few minutes here for security reasons. The international terminal has a pick up section on the level 2 arrivals road in front of the terminal. It also has a drop off section on the departures road of level 4. Those requiring disabled access can find it on the level 2 arrivals section.

Other Transport Options

Gold Coast to Brisbane Airport Shuttle and Other Transport Options

The Gold Coast is connected to Brisbane in more ways than one. The public transport system between the two is efficient, as is the highway. So what is the best method of transport from Brisbane airport to Gold Coast? Without a doubt, it is a chauffeured car from Car Australia. With unrivalled costs and excellent service, it is easy to see why.

 

Trains: Brisbane Airport

The Brisbane airport has an air train service that departs every fifteen minutes or so. This service is generally express and it stops at the both the domestic and international terminals. During the week, the air train operates from 5:04am until 10:04pm. On weekends, it operates between 6:04am and 10:04pm. The train is an efficient service and it allows you to beat peak hour traffic. However, there are still some drawbacks. Notably, the train does not offer door-to-door service. This leaves you to make up the difference on foot, which can be hard when you have luggage. It is also time consuming, for the same reason.

Taxi from Brisbane airport

There are taxi ranks at both the domestic and international terminals of the Brisbane airport. At the domestic terminal, this is located centrally out the front. At the international terminal, the taxi rank is located at the northern end. Although taxis do offer door-to-door service, they still lack the luxury and cleanliness of a Car Australia chauffeured car. And, some might be surprised to know that our prices are comparable to those of a taxi. At best, taxis will save you 20% of the cost as compared to Car Australia. However, this is offset by the increased waiting times, which during peak periods can reach half an hour or more.

Buses and Shuttles

Finally, you could consider buses and shuttles. There are several services operating in the Brisbane airport precinct. They also operate throughout the suburbs of both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. This means that you can combine buses with the air train to get just about anywhere. However, it is important to consider the time this takes. Buses stop frequently and can easily be caught in peak hour traffic. Car Australia, on the other hand, offers private buses and shuttles for those travelling in large groups. Per person, the price is once again comparable, but with far great comfort, cleanliness and reliability!
