A fixed $200 sedan or $260 Kia Carnival, the same in both directions, with the Gateway toll included — about 80 km, around 65 to 80 minutes off-peak.
Do you go to the Brisbane cruise terminal?
Yes. Chevron Island to the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba is the same fixed fare as Brisbane Airport — $200 sedan or $260 Kia Carnival, in either direction.
Is there a bus from Chevron Island to Gold Coast Airport?
Not directly. The public-transport route is the G:link tram to Burleigh Heads, then the route 777 express bus to the airport via Palm Beach, as Gold Coast Airport sets out on its transport page. A CGC transfer goes door to door in about 25 to 30 minutes for a fixed $90 sedan or $120 Kia Carnival, per vehicle.
Can you take surfboards or golf clubs?
Yes, in the Kia Carnival — up to 3 boards, and golf bags fit too. The sedan doesn’t take boards, so flag them at booking and a Carnival is allocated.

The sedan takes 3 passengers with 2 check-in cases and 2 carry-ons. The Kia Carnival takes up to 9 large bags for 1 to 4 passengers, 7 for five and 6 for six or seven. A pram or stroller doesn’t count as luggage, but it does mean the Carnival rather than the sedan.
How do I pay?
By card online at booking, through the secure payment link. Every transfer is pre-booked and paid before travel, so there is nothing to pay in the car.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel more than 24 hours before pickup and the full amount is held as credit for a future booking. Within 24 hours of pickup no credit applies.

Yes, by pre-booking — we’re available 24/7 except Christmas Day, when we’re closed. A higher rate applies on Easter Sunday only; every other public holiday is the standard fixed fare.
Can a group of 8 or more travel together?
Yes. Up to 7 fit one Kia Carnival. For 8 or more, the booking form offers a second vehicle or the 12-seat VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers), both priced in the form.
Can you collect from the Thomas Drive apartments?
Yes — any Chevron Island address, including the apartment buildings along Thomas Drive. Give us the building name and entrance at booking and the driver meets you there.
