For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Australia is famous for its network of highways and well-maintained roads that connect its cities and states. Those that wish to drive inland are advised to purchase a GPS device or to discuss their route with locals before setting off. Foreign drivers are required to carry an IDP with them at all times in addition to their home licence. Many roads in Brisbane's CBD are one-way and become easier to drive on after 16:00 when traffic eases. Parking in the city generally costs around £10 per day.

See our guide to Australia for more information on driving here.

Transport

Brisbane Airport is well connected to the city of Brisbane. Those driving can easily get to and from the CBD via the M1 road, which is also referred to as the Gateway Motorway. Options for those without their own transport include taxis, trains and buses that are reasonably-priced, efficient and regular.

Trains
Trains between the airport, the Gold Coast and Brisbane are supplied by Airtrain. The service runs from 05:45 until 22:00 every day and departs every quarter of an hour. Rail transfers are also possible between the Domestic Terminal and the International Terminal for around £3 per person.

Taxis

Facilities

Terminals

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver.

Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
