A private, fixed-price transfer between Brisbane Airport and Ballina, around 205 km and about 2 hours 20 minutes via the Gateway Motorway and Pacific Motorway (M1). The same fare applies in both directions.
This is the long one, and the one where a private car earns its keep. We collect you at the Brisbane terminal, take the Gateway south, run the M1 down past the Gold Coast and the Tweed, and cross the Richmond River into Ballina. Same vehicle, same driver, no changes along the way.
Ballina to Brisbane Airport is our longest scheduled run in reverse, around two hours and twenty minutes of driving before you even join the queue at check-in. For a long-haul departure that usually means leaving Ballina before dawn, which is quiet driving and a very calm start to a trip. We drop at the domestic or international terminal your flight departs from.
Is the fare the same from Ballina to Brisbane Airport? Yes, in both directions, with 10% off the return leg on a return booking.
How early is the pickup for an international flight? Work back from your check-in: roughly two and a half hours of driving plus the time your airline asks you to arrive. We confirm the pickup time from your flight number.
Can you stop along the way? Yes, a comfort stop can be built into the drive if you mention it when booking.
