Chevron Island to Brisbane Airport Transfers
The Short Answer
Chevron Island to Brisbane Airport is a fixed $200 Sedan or similar, or $260 for the 7-seat Kia Carnival — per vehicle, GST and the Gateway toll included, locked at booking. The run is about 80 km, around 65–80 min off-peak. Door-to-door with flight monitoring, and booking both legs on one reservation takes 5% off the return leg. Gold Coast Airport is the other option from the island: a fixed $90 sedan or $120 Carnival to the airport (about 26 km, 25–30 min), and $105 / $135 as a pickup from it, because Gold Coast Airport pickups include the airport access fee and in-terminal meet and greet; Brisbane Airport is the same $200 / $260 in both directions.
Chevron Island to Brisbane Airport transfers are a fixed $200 sedan or $260 Kia Carnival — per vehicle, GST and the Gateway toll included, price locked at booking. No meter, no surge.

“Chevron Island is the easiest Brisbane start on the coast — off the island west over Thomas Drive, up Ashmore Road to the motorway, and we’re on the M1 before most Surfers hotels have found their driveway. I never go back through the Boulevard; the Bundall side is the quiet way out.”
How early should I leave Chevron Island for a flight from Brisbane Airport?
Work from the drive plus the check-in window: around 65–80 minutes off-peak to Brisbane Airport, plus 2 hours for a domestic flight or 3 hours for an international one. In practice that is a pickup about 3h 15min before a domestic departure and about 4h 15min before an international one, and earlier again in the weekday morning peak, when the M1 through Yatala and the Logan Motorway merge can add 20 to 35 minutes. The booking form does the sum from your address and flight number and confirms the time by SMS, so the motorway’s peak is our problem to plan for, not yours.
Brisbane Airport’s International Terminal welcomed 7,080,057 passengers in FY26, up 7.9%, with direct access to 35 international destinations, according to its own newsroom — which is why so many Chevron Island apartment bookings are the Brisbane run rather than the Gold Coast one, and why the $49 in-terminal meet and greet is worth a look for international arrivals.
Fleet Available From Chevron Island
Two core vehicles handle the majority of Chevron Island bookings — the Sedan or similar for 1–3 passengers with standard luggage, and the 7-seat Kia Carnival for families with fitted QLD baby and child seats and multi-suitcase international manifests. For groups of 8–11, the 12-seater VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers) keeps everyone in one vehicle — priced in the booking form.


| Vehicle | Capacity | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan or similar | 1–3 passengers | 2 large cases + 2 carry-on | Couples and solo travellers with standard luggage (no surfboards) |
| 7-seat Kia Carnival | Up to 7 passengers | Up to 6 large cases | Families with fitted baby and child seats, multi-suitcase international luggage, up to 3 boards |
| 12-seat VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers, priced in the booking form) | 8–11 passengers | Up to 8 large suitcases (trailer for more) | Group bookings, wedding parties and corporate movements |

Chevron Island Transfer FAQs
How much is a transfer from Chevron Island to Brisbane Airport?
A fixed $200 Sedan or similar or $260 7-seat Kia Carnival — per vehicle, not per person, GST and the Gateway toll included and locked at booking.
How long does Chevron Island to Brisbane Airport take?
About 80 km via the M1 Pacific Motorway north and Gateway Motorway — around 65–80 min off-peak. Your booking builds in a buffer for the hour you travel.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. One fixed figure covers everyone on board, luggage included.
Are baby and child seats available?
Yes — rear-facing baby seats, forward-facing child seats or boosters provided and fitted under QLD law at $35 per seat, arranged at booking.
Do you monitor flights?
Yes. Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to early or delayed arrivals automatically, with no charge for normal airport waiting.
Is there a discount for booking the return trip?
Yes — book both legs on one reservation and a 5% discount applies to the return leg.
Where will my driver meet me at Brisbane Airport?
Brisbane Airport pickups are kerbside in the designated pickup zone at both the Domestic and International terminals — your SMS booking confirmation includes the exact meet point and arrival instructions. Prefer to be met inside the terminal? Inside-terminal meet and greet is available at BNE as a $49 add-on.
How early should I leave Chevron Island for a flight from Brisbane Airport?
Allow the 65–80 minute drive plus 2 hours for a domestic flight or 3 hours for an international one — a pickup about 3h 15min before a domestic departure and about 4h 15min before an international one off-peak, earlier in the weekday morning peak. The booking form calculates it from your address and flight and confirms the time by SMS.
Is Brisbane or Gold Coast Airport closer to Chevron Island?
Gold Coast Airport is the shorter run — about 26 km and 25–30 minutes at a fixed $90 sedan or $120 Kia Carnival to the airport — while Brisbane Airport is about 80 km and 65–80 minutes at a fixed $200 / $260 either way and carries the full international network. Choose by the flight, not the distance; both are fixed fares with the pickup timed to the flight.
Why does a pickup from Gold Coast Airport cost more than the drop-off, when Brisbane is the same both ways?
Gold Coast Airport pickups to Chevron Island are $105 sedan or $135 Kia Carnival against $90 / $120 for the drop-off, because they include the airport access fee and in-terminal meet and greet — the driver is inside the terminal with a name sign. Brisbane Airport is one fixed price per zone in both directions, $200 / $260, with kerbside pickup and the $49 in-terminal meet and greet as an add-on.
What if my flight into Brisbane is delayed?
Every airport pickup is flight-monitored, so a late landing moves the pickup automatically and the wait window — 1 hour on domestic arrivals, 90 minutes on international — runs from your actual landing at no charge. If you are rebooked onto another flight, send the new number by SMS or WhatsApp.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
Cancel more than 24 hours before pickup and the full fare is held as a credit for a later transfer; inside 24 hours no credit applies. If the airline cancels your flight, credits scale with notice: full beyond 4 hours, 50% between 1.5 and 4 hours, none under 90 minutes.
How do I pay?
Online by card when you book — the price shown before confirmation is the price charged, GST and the Gateway toll included, with no in-car payment on the day.
Can you pick us up before dawn for an early flight?
Yes — CGC is available 24/7 by pre-booking, except Christmas Day. Standard rates apply 6am to 9pm and the exact figure for any pickup time is confirmed in your online quote before you book, so there is nothing to settle in the car.
Do you take golf clubs, surfboards or extra luggage?
Yes — the sedan carries 2 large cases plus carry-on for up to 3 passengers and takes no boards; the 7-seat Kia Carnival takes up to 6 large cases, golf travel cases, up to 3 boards in bags and prams. Flag oversized items at booking and the right vehicle is sent.
Does the fare include the Gateway Motorway toll?
Yes — the Gateway toll is inside the $200 sedan or $260 Kia Carnival fare, and the M1 is toll-free, so nothing is added on the day. GST is included too.
We are a group of nine — how do we book?
Online, in the booking form: enter your passenger count and it offers a second vehicle or the 12-seater VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers), each at a fixed price. Groups of 8 to 14 travel in two vehicles — two Kia Carnivals or a Carnival plus a sedan — or in the 12-seater VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers), priced in the booking form. Two-vehicle bookings are made online too; everyone goes on one reservation with one pickup time.
Do you pick up from the Thomas Drive apartments and the HOTA bridge side?
Yes — door-to-door across Chevron Island: Thomas Drive, the residential avenues and the HOTA bridge side, at the same fixed fare. Give the building name and the loading-zone or lobby instructions at booking and the driver comes to the door.
