Gold Coast Airport to Byron Bay Transfers
Landing at Coolangatta (OOL)? Our 45-minute private transfer gets you from Gold Coast Airport to your Byron Bay accommodation—fully insured across the QLD-NSW border.
The Most Popular Route to Byron Bay
Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta) is the most popular departure point for travellers heading to Byron Bay, with domestic flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. The 45-minute drive south across the Queensland-NSW border is scenic and straightforward—but it requires a transport operator with dual-state accreditation.
At Byron Bay Airport Transport, we specialise in Gold Coast Airport to Byron Bay transfers that put your safety and comfort first. Unlike many other local companies, we hold full accreditation as both a QLD and NSW Transport Operator.
Why dual-state insurance matters
Most NSW-based operators aren't registered in Queensland. If your trip starts at the Gold Coast (QLD) and they aren't registered there, their commercial insurance may not cover you for the QLD portion. With us, you are 100% authorised, insured, and covered from the moment you leave the terminal until you arrive at your door.
Where We Meet You at Gold Coast Airport
Gold Coast Airport is a single-terminal airport, making it one of the easiest airports in Australia to navigate. After collecting your luggage from the carousel, walk through to the arrivals hall where your driver will be waiting with a name sign.
What to expect:
- Your driver will be in the arrivals area holding a sign with your name
- We track your flight—if it's delayed, we adjust our arrival time to match
- 30 minutes of complimentary wait time after your flight lands
- Your driver will help with luggage and escort you to the vehicle in the short-term car park
