Six guides are live. The Star Gold Coast precinct, Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach, Hilton Surfers Paradise, JW Marriott Gold Coast, QT Gold Coast and voco Gold Coast all have published pickup guides — linked below and in the published guides list.

How this page works: each hotel name stays plain text until its guide publishes, then becomes a link you can open straight from this list. Bookmark this page and check back — the list updates as each one goes live.

The transfers themselves are running now. Every property on this page is already serviced — the guides are simply catching up to the service.

CGC Airport Transfers runs pre-booked private transfers between Gold Coast hotels and both airports — Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta and Brisbane Airport. Every booking is a private transfer: one booking, one vehicle, no shared stops and no other guests collected on the way.

Hotel pickups have their own rhythm. The porte cochère is where the bell desk stages luggage, and it’s usually not where a rideshare pin drop lands — which is how guests end up standing under the awning while a driver waits on a side street. Give us the hotel name and room number at booking and the driver pulls into the forecourt where the trolley is waiting.

About the prices in our guides: the figures published on each hotel page are for the hotel-to-airport direction. Airport pickups are quoted separately, because collecting at an airport carries an airport access fee. Book both legs on one reservation and both prices are confirmed upfront before you pay.

What each hotel guide covers

  • The exact pickup point — which entrance, forecourt or loading zone that property uses
  • Distance and drive time to both Gold Coast Airport and Brisbane Airport
  • Suggested pickup times worked back from your flight — 2 hours before domestic departures, 3 hours before international, plus the drive
  • Concierge and bell-desk coordination — how luggage staging is handled at that hotel
  • Local detail — the event calendar, the traffic pattern on that stretch, and anything particular to the building
  • The from-price for that address to each airport, stated hotel-to-airport, with the return leg quoted separately

The Star Gold Coast Precinct

Four properties share one site on Broadbeach Island, one driveway off Casino Drive and the same distance to both airports — so one guide covers all of them, with a section for each tower and the drop-off point for each entrance. It’s published and open now.

Properties covered in that guide:

  • The Star Grand
  • The Darling
  • Dorsett Gold Coast
  • The Star Residences

Hotels and Resorts

The branded hotels and resorts across Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Main Beach and the northern precincts. Each name becomes a link once its guide publishes.

Apartment Towers and Resort Residences

The apartment-style and residence properties, where the pickup point is more often a lobby or basement loading zone than a hotel forecourt. Each name becomes a link once its guide publishes.

  • Peppers Broadbeach
  • Meriton Suites Broadbeach
  • Avani Broadbeach Residences
  • Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
  • Mantra Legends Hotel
  • Mantra Towers of Chevron
  • Oracle Broadbeach
  • ULTIQA Air on Broadbeach
  • Reflection on the Sea
  • Iconic Kirra Beach Resort
  • Mondrian Gold Coast
  • Paradise Resort Gold Coast
  • Mantra Sierra Grand
  • Mantra Broadbeach on the Park
  • Mantra Circle on Cavill
  • Wyndham Surfers Paradise
  • Turtle Beach Resort
Staying somewhere not on this list? The list covers the properties getting their own guide — it isn’t the limit of where we go. We collect from every Gold Coast hotel, resort, serviced apartment and holiday rental, plus private addresses across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.

Booking From a Hotel

What to include

  • Hotel name and room number — the room number lets the bell desk be briefed for luggage staging
  • Which airport and terminal — Gold Coast Airport, or Brisbane Domestic or International, since Brisbane’s two terminals are separate buildings
  • Flight number and scheduled time, so the pickup is worked back from your check-in rather than guessed
  • Passenger count and luggage, including prams, golf bags, surfboards or anything oversized
  • Child seats — the children’s ages and approximate sizes, if you’d like seats fitted
  • Return flight details if you’re booking both legs on one reservation

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hotel guides are live now?

Six: The Star Gold Coast precinct (covering The Star Grand, The Darling, Dorsett Gold Coast and The Star Residences), Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach, Hilton Surfers Paradise, JW Marriott Gold Coast, QT Gold Coast and voco Gold Coast. The remaining properties are in progress and each hotel name in the lists above becomes a clickable link the moment its guide goes live.

Why is there one guide for four Star hotels instead of four?

Because the transfer facts are identical. All four sit on Broadbeach Island at the one address, share the Casino Drive entry, and carry the same distance, drive time and price to both airports. One guide covers the lot and gives each tower its own section with the correct drop-off point, rather than four near-identical pages.

When will the remaining hotel guides be published?

They’re being written and published progressively, and this page links each one as it goes live. In the meantime every property listed is already serviced — you can book a transfer from any of them today.

Can I book a transfer from these hotels now?

Yes. The guides are documentation, not a prerequisite. Put the hotel name and your room number into the booking form along with your flight details and you’ll get a locked quote back.

Where does the driver meet me at a hotel?

At the porte cochère or main entrance, coordinated with the bell desk where the property has one. Apartment towers are usually a lobby or designated loading zone instead. Note the hotel and room number at booking and the pickup point is confirmed in your SMS the night before.

How much does a hotel transfer cost?

It depends on the hotel’s address and which airport you’re heading to — pricing is per vehicle and calculated on road distance, with GST included and the figure locked at booking. The prices published in our guides and route directories are for the hotel-to-airport direction; airport pickups are quoted separately, because collecting at an airport carries an airport access fee. The Gold Coast Airport route directory and Brisbane Airport route directory carry from-prices by suburb, and the booking form returns the exact figure for your hotel and direction.

What time should I be collected for my flight?

We aim to have you at the airport 2 hours before a domestic departure and 3 hours before an international one. Your pickup time is that lead plus the drive, with extra allowed in peak traffic. Give us the flight number at booking and we work the time back from it.

Do you charge more on event weekends?

No. There’s no surge at any time of year — the locked quote applies through major events, school holidays and peak periods. A higher rate applies on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday only.

Can you collect us on arrival and take us to the hotel?

Yes, and both legs can go on one reservation. The arrival leg is quoted separately from the departure leg because airport collections carry an airport access fee, so you’ll see two figures rather than a doubled one — both confirmed upfront. Flight monitoring runs on every airport pickup, so the collection follows your actual landing at no extra charge, and wait time isn’t charged.

Are child seats available for a hotel pickup?

Yes. Booked hire and taxi services are exempt from Queensland’s child restraint requirements, so a seat isn’t mandatory in our vehicles — but we’re glad to provide one. Australian-Standards rear-facing seats, forward-facing seats and boosters are fitted before pickup on request, at an additional cost added to your quote. Tell us the ages at booking, or bring your own and we’ll allow time to fit it.

What if my hotel isn’t listed?

We still go there. The list above is the set of properties getting a dedicated guide, not the service area — every Gold Coast hotel, resort, serviced apartment and holiday rental is covered, along with private addresses across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.

Checking out early? The one thing worth doing the night before is confirming the pickup point with the front desk — most hotels stage luggage at the porte cochère from a set hour, and knowing whether the bell desk is manned at 4am saves a scramble in the lobby. Your confirmation SMS carries the driver’s name, the vehicle registration and the pickup point, so there’s nothing to arrange on the morning itself.
