Gold Coast to Brisbane & Byron Bay.

Airport transfers at OOL and BNE are charged at the airport rate only when the run passes the airport test (under 30 km and under 30 min one-way), otherwise as half or full day plus distance. Gold Coast Airport (OOL) at Coolangatta is roughly 25 minutes from Surfers Paradise; Brisbane Airport (BNE) is roughly 75 to 90 minutes up the M1. Distance loadings are always quoted clearly up front.

Yes, both are popular runs. Gold Coast to Brisbane is roughly 75 minutes up the M1 (a named route, not an airport rate). Gold Coast to Byron Bay is roughly 50 minutes south over the border.

You get the same Urban Legends booking experience, detailed runsheet and single point of contact (Jared) that our NSW clients get, with vehicles and drivers based locally on the Gold Coast.
Can we bring our own drinks on board?+
On a private charter, BYO is welcome with written approval. Bring your own drinks on board and enjoy the ride. (Guided tour packages where venues and tastings are organised work a little differently, so just ask and we will explain what suits your day.) We build in comfort stops on longer Gold Coast runs, so everyone can stretch their legs and grab a coffee.
