Brisbane airport: Getting to your Maroochydore transfer

When you arrive in Brisbane, you’ll notice that the terminal is quite spread out. Fortunately, though, it’s incredibly easy and quick to navigate. First, follow the signs to the arrivals hall. There, you can collect your luggage. Then, if you’re in the domestic terminal, head out to the front. From there, you’ll see a pick up area. That’s serviced by the arrivals/departures road.

Essentially, that’s the one stop in and out of the airport. It’s an efficient system, and it makes airport runs a breeze! If you’re in the international terminal, simply collect your luggage and walk to the level 2 arrivals road. From there, you can meet your ride to Maroochydore. When it’s time to go home again, the drop off area is along the departures road, on level 4. Both terminals offer great wheelchair accessibility

Other Transport Options

Other transport options from Brisbane airport to Maroochydore

Brisbane airport offers a multitude of options to get to Maroochydore. Here are some other options you could choose.

Trains from Brisbane airport to Maroochydore

Brisbane airport is home to the AirTrain. It’s an efficient mode of transport, which is immune to the delays of peak hour traffic. It departs frequently, as well, so it’s always a transport option at Brisbane airport. However, the AirTrain does not service the Sunshine Coast directly. Getting to Maroochydore from Brisbane airport via train involves a number of transfers. Getting to your accommodation is also likely to require a bus or taxi ride. The train is an efficient mode of public transport, but it simply can’t offer the same service and convenience as a Car Australia transfer.

Taxis: Getting you from Brisbane airport to Maroochydore

When it comes to airport travel, taxis are ubiquitous. They exist in almost every airport on earth, and they’re a reliable method of traversing different cities. However, taxies aren’t great over long distances. For starters, they’re expensive. Taxis use metres to charge customers, which means trips over a certain distance simply don’t possess the same value as shorter trips. Then there’s the comfort; taxis aren’t always the most comfortable form of transport – particularly the older models. With Car Australia, on the other hand, you get fixed price transport, in the comfort of a premium or luxury vehicle.
