Quick answer
In Brisbane, book a fixed-fare transfer for the airport and the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, hourly hire for a day of meetings and a chauffeured van for groups, events and cruise luggage. Gateway Motorway and Airport Link tolls are included in the quote, so the fare you accept is the fare you pay.
Brisbane is a gateway city. Many travellers land here and carry on to the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast or Noosa, so the right booking depends as much on where you are going as on where you land.

How far is Brisbane Airport from the city and the coast?
The CBD is a short run from the airport, usually around 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. The Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise are roughly 75 to 90 minutes away, and the Sunshine Coast, Mooloolaba and Noosa are around an hour and a half to two hours. Allow extra time at peak hours and on holiday weekends.
Are tolls included in the fare?
Yes. The quoted fare includes tolls on the Gateway Motorway, Airport Link and other toll roads, plus parking and GST. The fare is per vehicle, not per person, so groups share the cost.
When is hourly hire better than a transfer?
Choose a point-to-point transfer for a single trip. Choose hourly hire when you have three or more stops, uncertain timing, or want the car waiting between meetings in the CBD, South Bank, Fortitude Valley or Eagle Farm.
What about events and sport?
For Suncorp Stadium, the Gabba, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Eagle Farm Racecourse, book a chauffeured car or van early for finals, concerts and race days. Agree the drop-off point and the return pickup time when you book.
