Duroby, Bungalora, Carool & Duranbah to Brisbane Airport (BNE) Transfers
✓The Short Answer
Duroby, Upper Duroby, Bungalora, Carool and Duranbah to Brisbane Airport (BNE) is a fixed $275 Sedan or similar, or $385 for the 7-seat Kia Carnival — per vehicle, GST and the Gateway toll included, the same price in both directions, locked at booking. The run is about 110 to 120 km depending on the village, around 1 hour 25 to 1 hour 35 off-peak. Groups of 8–14 book a Kia Carnival + RAV4 ($660) or 2 × Kia Carnival ($770) instantly in the same form. Door-to-door with flight monitoring, and booking both legs on one reservation takes 5% off the return leg.
Pickups from Brisbane Airport back to the villages are the same fixed $275 sedan or $385 Kia Carnival — no separate pickup rate, with an in-terminal meet and greet included on every BNE collection.

The Villages We Cover
Duroby & Upper Duroby
Rural valley properties along Duroby Creek Road behind Terranora — acreage blocks, farm gates and long driveways. Your driver confirms the gate or driveway location from your booking notes the night before, so early flights start on time.
Bungalora
Small-acreage country between Terranora and the Duroby valley. Narrow lanes and unlit roads are exactly why a pre-booked private car beats waiting on a rideshare that may never accept the job out here.
Carool
The ridge-top village along Carool Road toward the border range — winding hill roads where local knowledge matters. Fixed pricing means the winding kilometres cost you nothing extra.
Duranbah
Farmland and lifestyle blocks inland from the Tweed coast off Duranbah Road — the closest of the five to the M1 for the Brisbane run, with the same fixed village fare as the rest of the zone.
What’s Included on Every Booking
Driver allocated prior to pickup with SMS confirmation the night before. Flight details monitored on every airport booking — if the flight moves, the pickup moves with it, at no charge. In-terminal meet and greet included on every Brisbane Airport collection — domestic or international — with your driver inside the arrivals hall. Child seats supplied and fitted at $35 per seat, so you never need to bring your own across the border. Cancellation with more than 24 hours’ notice receives a full credit toward a future booking; no credit inside 24 hours. Pickups between 9pm and 6am may incur an after-hours fee, confirmed inside the locked quote before you pay.
Fleet for the Border Villages
The RAV4/sedan (1–3 passengers, 2 large plus 2 carry-on) suits couples and solo flyers. The 7-seat Kia Carnival carries families, surfboards, prams and multi-suitcase loads. For groups of 8–14, the Kia Carnival + RAV4 pairing (up to 9) and 2 × Kia Carnival (up to 14) price instantly in the booking form like any single vehicle — one booking, both drivers arriving together at the same gate. The 12-seater VW Transporter (8–11 on one vehicle) is quoted on request.
OOL or BNE From the Border Villages
Gold Coast Airport is 18 to 28 minutes from most of these villages against roughly an hour and a half to Brisbane — where OOL has your route and time, it is the cheaper, shorter transfer at $115 sedan (see the Gold Coast Airport page for these villages). Brisbane wins on route depth: more direct destinations, more departure times, and often sharper airfares that outweigh the longer transfer. The $275 fare covers both BNE terminals, Brisbane City and the Portside cruise terminal at the same fixed figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really a fixed price from these villages now?
Yes — as of 10 September 2026 Duroby, Upper Duroby, Bungalora, Carool and Duranbah share one fixed-fare zone. $275 sedan or $385 Kia Carnival to or from Brisbane Airport — per vehicle, locked at booking, no meter and no surge.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle, always. Three passengers in a sedan or seven in a Kia Carnival pay the one fixed figure and split it however they like.
Do all five villages pay the same fare?
Yes — the zone prices as one. A Carool ridge pickup and a Duranbah farm gate both pay $275 sedan to BNE, even though the drive times differ slightly.
Is the fare the same in both directions?
Yes — Brisbane Airport runs price identically in both directions, with the Gateway toll already inside the fare. The figure covers both BNE terminals, Brisbane City and the Portside cruise terminal.
Can a group of 8 or more book online?
Yes — Kia Carnival + RAV4 (up to 9 passengers, $660) and 2 × Kia Carnival (up to 14, $770) price instantly in the booking form on one reservation, with both drivers coordinated to arrive together. The 12-seater Transporter (8–11 on one vehicle) is quoted on request on 0416 131 285.
Will a rideshare even come out here?
Sometimes — and sometimes the job sits unaccepted while your departure window closes. A pre-booked private transfer is allocated to a named driver the night before, with your gate or driveway location already confirmed. That reliability is the product on unlit rural roads.
Do you handle farm gates and long driveways?
Every week. Put the gate location, driveway description or a landmark in the booking notes and the driver arrives at the right entrance — not a dark lane two properties over.
How early should I book for a morning flight?
As soon as you have flight numbers. Village pickups are allocated the night before with an SMS confirmation, and early-morning slots are the first to fill in holiday periods.
What about young children?
Child seats are supplied and fitted at $35 per seat — rear-facing, forward-facing or booster to suit the age you give at booking. NSW child-restraint rules apply on these roads and the seats we fit comply with them.
Can I cancel if plans change?
More than 24 hours’ notice: full credit toward a future booking. Inside 24 hours: no credit. Credits apply to any future CGC booking rather than a refund.
Is there a discount for booking the return?
Yes — book both legs on one reservation and the return leg takes 5% off automatically.
Do you monitor the flight?
Every airport booking. Early arrival, late arrival or a gate change — the pickup adjusts and waiting time on delayed flights is not charged.
What happens after 9pm?
Pickups between 9pm and 6am may carry an after-hours fee, confirmed inside your locked quote before you pay — the figure on screen is final.
How long is the drive?
About 1 hour 25 to 1 hour 35 off-peak for most of the villages — up the M1 with the Gateway toll already in the fare.
Does the fare cover the cruise terminal?
Yes — the Brisbane fare covers both airport terminals, Brisbane City and the Portside cruise terminal at Hamilton at the same fixed figure.
Is GST included?
Yes — every figure is GST-inclusive and the Brisbane fare includes the Gateway toll. No fuel levy, no booking fee, no surge.
Can I mix a village pickup with a coast drop-off?
Yes — anything outside the fixed zone prices instantly per kilometre in the booking form, and multi-stop pickups can be added in the notes for a combined quote.
How do I get the exact price for my address?
Enter the pickup and drop-off in the booking form — any address in the five villages returns the fixed fare instantly, locked the moment you book.
