One terminal, one meeting point, no guesswork

Gold Coast Airport is small enough that finding your driver is genuinely easy — there is a single terminal and arrivals empties into one hall. Your chauffeur waits inside that hall with a name board, and you get their name and mobile number before the day, so you are not standing in the open wondering which car is yours.

We track your flight by number. If you land forty minutes early, or you sit on the tarmac at Sydney for an hour, the pick-up moves with you and the fare does not change. You have 30 minutes of free waiting after touchdown to clear the aircraft and collect bags, which is comfortable for a domestic arrival at OOL.

What it costs to your suburb

These are the published one-way fares, per vehicle. A sedan costs the same whether one person or three travel in it.

Choose your suburb in the table below and the booking form opens with that trip already priced.

Why the price does not move

Rideshare and metered taxis price the moment you are in them. A Friday evening, a wet Saturday, a school-holiday changeover — the same trip costs whatever the algorithm decides. That is fine when you are going to dinner. It is not fine when you are quoting a client, claiming an expense, or landing at 5am with three kids and a pram.

Our fare is set by your suburb zone and the vehicle you pick, and it is the fare you pay. No surge. No after-hours loading. Tolls and GST already in it. A GST tax invoice arrives with your confirmation, so the expense claim is done before you reach the car.

Travelling with a group? The Sprinter 14-seater carries up to 14 passengers and 15 bags on one booking, at one price. Fourteen people to Coolangatta is $240 for the vehicle — under $18 a head, with everyone arriving together.

The vehicle that actually fits

Golf bags, surfboards, prams and foldable wheelchairs travel free where they fit. If they do not, the luggage trailer is $30 and takes the overflow. Child capsules, convertible seats and boosters are $15 each, fitted before we arrive — booked at the same time as the car, because a seat that is not booked cannot legally be improvised on the kerb.

Questions we get about OOL

How long to Surfers Paradise from the airport?

About 28 minutes in normal traffic, and the drive is roughly 22 km up the M1 and the Gold Coast Highway. Allow closer to an hour in Friday-evening or school-holiday traffic — when we confirm your booking we recommend a pick-up time with that built in.

My flight is at 6am. Do you charge extra?

No. Early departures are ordinary work for us and the fare is identical to a midday run. We will recommend a pick-up time based on your flight and the check-in cut-off rather than leaving you to guess it.

What if my flight is delayed or diverted?

We track the flight number and move the pick-up automatically. You do not need to call us from the aircraft. If a diversion sends you to Brisbane instead, call the 24/7 line and we will work it out — that is what a dispatcher is for.

Can I book a return at the same time?

Yes, and most people do. Both legs are priced the same way, and the return is free to change or cancel up to 24 hours before pick-up like any other booking.

Do you cross the border to Tweed and Byron?

Yes. Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and the Byron Bay district are all published fares from OOL — Byron Bay is $220 in a sedan. See Byron Bay transfers.
