A private, fixed-price transfer between Gold Coast Airport and Ballina, around 95 km and about 1 hour 10 minutes via the Pacific Motorway (M1). The same fare applies in both directions.
From the Coolangatta terminal we cross the border and follow the M1 south through the Tweed, past Byron and Bangalow, then drop into Ballina across the Richmond River. It is motorway for nearly the whole run, so the drive is quiet and predictable, and we finish at your Ballina address rather than a depot.
Ballina to Gold Coast Airport is the northbound version of the same motorway run. We pick up at your Ballina address (town, East Ballina, the hospital precinct or out along Lennox Head Road) and allow about an hour and ten minutes of driving plus your check-in time, with extra room on Sunday afternoons when traffic banks up near the border. It is the direction most people book when the Ballina flight schedule does not suit their trip.
Can you take us from Ballina up to Gold Coast Airport? Yes, at the same fixed fare, with 10% off the return leg when you book both directions together.
Why drive to the Gold Coast instead of flying from Ballina? Usually because the Ballina timetable, price or availability does not suit. Coolangatta has far more services, and the drive is motorway almost the whole way.
Which Ballina addresses do you cover? All of them, including East Ballina, Wollongbar, Alstonville and the hospital precinct, and we finish at the address, not a depot.
