Departing from Gold Coast Airport
Getting to Gold Coast Airport
The cheapest way to get to the Gold Coast Airport is with the public bus. You can buy pay-as-you-go options or purchase an unlimited bus and tram pass for only AUD 10 per day.
If you're travelling alone or in a big group, one of the best ways to get to the airport is with the Gold Coast Tourist Shuttle. You'll get fetched from your hotel and dropped off right outside the departures terminal.
The most direct way to get to the Gold Coast Airport is with a taxi or ride-sharing service. It usually costs around AUD 30-60 from Surfers Paradise depending on the traffic.
Parking at Gold Coast Airport
Want to leave your car at the airport? Gold Coast Airport has parking options for every kind of traveller and budget.

- Short-Term Terminal Parking: Only use this option if you are parking at the airport less than 8 hours. If you do, you'll be charged hourly for your stay at much higher rates.

Arriving at Melbourne Airport
Getting from Melbourne Airport to Your Hotel
The most convenient way to get from Melbourne Airport to your hotel is with a cab. You'll find the taxi ranks outside the arrival terminals, and one-way trips usually cost around AUD 42-52.
If you prefer to use ride-sharing services like Uber, you can wait for your driver at the rideshare pickup zone at lane one of the forecourt. For passengers flying with Jetstar or TigerAir, you can meet your driver at the pick-up zone on level 2 inside the T4 Ground Transport Hub.
