Since 2020, CGC Airport Transfers has run pre-booked private airport transfers across South East Queensland, and Miami — the entertainment-and-sport pocket between Nobby Beach and Burleigh, home to Miami Marketta and Pacific Hotel Miami — throws up a particular kind of BNE booking: wedding groups, sports teams and Friday-night-to-next-morning airport runs. Every booking is a private transfer, not a taxi, rideshare or shared shuttle: one booking, one vehicle and no shared stops, to either the Domestic or International Terminal at BNE.

Pre-booked service for early-morning departures and post-event group movements, with any after-hours surcharge confirmed in the online quote. School holidays, event weekends and Schoolies — no surge. Return transfers from BNE back to Miami can be booked on the same reservation.

Miami to BNE vs Miami to OOL
| Factor | Miami → BNE | Miami → OOL |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | Approximately 101 km | Approximately 16 km |
| Drive time (off-peak) | 1h 20–1h 25min | Around 15–20 minutes |
| Primary route | Gold Coast Highway → M1 north → Logan → Gateway | Gold Coast Highway south through Burleigh and Tugun to Bilinga |
| Best for | Major international connections and wider domestic capacity | Domestic east-coast, New Zealand and short-haul international |
OOL is the closer option for most Miami travel — see our Miami to OOL page. BNE earns the longer run when the route isn’t one OOL flies — the widebody long-haul departures from Brisbane to Dubai, Doha, Singapore, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and London that carry Miami’s honeymooners, wedding guests and internationally-bound families.
Brisbane Airport Terminals From Miami
Domestic Terminal — for most Miami travellers this is the interstate mainline: Qantas, Virgin Australia, Jetstar and regional services to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth — the run sports teams and post-wedding parties most often take.
International Terminal — the long-haul carriers that take honeymooners, wedding guests and families beyond OOL’s reach, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Air New Zealand and Fiji Airways. We check your flight before travel so the driver targets the right terminal. For terminal layout and check-in planning, see our Brisbane Airport terminal guide.

Miami: Entertainment, Sport and Residential Between Nobby and Burleigh
Miami occupies the central southern Gold Coast between Nobby Beach to the north and Burleigh Heads to the south. The suburb’s identity centres on entertainment, sport and middle-market residential character, giving it a distinctive demographic mix — locals, gentrified café-strip residents, family residential and the Pizzey Park sport community. Miami’s position between Nobby Beach and Burleigh Heads makes it one of the Gold Coast’s most popular pickup areas for visitors staying outside the main Surfers Paradise accommodation zone.
Miami Marketta on Hillcrest Parade is the suburb’s signature venue. The Friday and Saturday night food market draws significant crowds with multiple food stalls, live music and an outdoor venue character. Pacific Hotel Miami on the Gold Coast Highway operates as a popular Gold Coast wedding and event venue as well as a landmark pub, and post-wedding group movements to BNE are a routine part of the Miami operation — see our wedding-party airport transfers for how group coordination works.
The residential character is family-oriented middle-market. The Norman Street and Hythe Street grid carries traditional Gold Coast family residential, while Lemana Lane has gentrified into short-stay rentals. Pacific Parade and Marine Parade run the beachfront edge, and Lavarack Road carries the Nobby Beach border café strip. Miami One Shopping Centre is also a common pickup landmark for visitors staying in nearby holiday apartments and short-term accommodation. The North Burleigh beachfront and Mick Schamburg Park area are also common pickup points for travellers staying between Miami and Burleigh Heads. The Miami-to-BNE network therefore spans wedding-group post-event movements, residential family travel and Friday and Saturday post-Marketta pre-international departures.
Pizzey Park adds a sport-event layer, hosting swimming, athletics and other events year-round, so sports-team BNE bookings — typically wrapping up state or national competition — appear regularly in the Miami pickup list. Miami bookings often include executive travellers, interstate sporting teams, wedding guests and families travelling internationally through Brisbane Airport. The Gold Coast Highway gives quick access to the M1 for the approximately 101km BNE run.
Fleet Available From Miami
| Vehicle | Capacity | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan or similar | 1–3 passengers | Up to 2 large suitcases (plus carry-on) | Couples, executive solo, business travellers |
| Kia Carnival | Up to 7 passengers | Up to 6 large suitcases | Families with child seats arranged at booking, post-Marketta family wrap-ups, multi-suitcase departures |
| 12-seater Transporter | 8–11 passengers | Up to 10 large suitcases | Pacific Hotel Miami post-wedding groups, Pizzey Park sports teams, multi-family movements |
Real Scenario: Pacific Hotel Miami Wedding Group to BNE Domestic
A wedding reception wraps up at Pacific Hotel Miami on a Saturday night. The bridal party of nine — bride, groom, four bridesmaids and three groomsmen — has a domestic flight from BNE Domestic to Sydney early Sunday afternoon, with the bride and groom continuing to an international honeymoon connection. The luggage is significant: wedding outfits in suit bags, honeymoon suitcases and a gift box, so the booking is the 12-seater Transporter.
The booking is placed two weeks ahead by the bride’s mother. The locked quote covers the Transporter rate including the Gateway Motorway toll. The booking flags a Pacific Hotel Miami main-entrance pickup the next morning, plus the flight number.
CGC allocates a 12-seater Transporter. The booking system schedules a 10:30am Sunday pickup at the Pacific Hotel Miami main entrance — comfortable for the early-afternoon departure with weekend traffic margin.
The evening before travel an SMS confirmation is sent — the 10:30am pickup, the vehicle details and the wedding-attire luggage noted.
The vehicle arrives at the scheduled pickup time at the Pacific Hotel Miami main-entrance forecourt. Loading takes around twelve minutes — significant wedding luggage with suit bags requires careful stacking. The journey proceeds onto the Gold Coast Highway northbound and the M1. The Sunday late-morning corridor through Nobby Beach and Broadbeach runs reasonably, and the Transporter reaches BNE Domestic with comfortable time for the afternoon departure. The bridal party clears check-in with the honeymoon luggage tagged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Miami to Brisbane Airport cost?
Approximately $220 Sedan or similar, $300 Kia Carnival, $670 12-seater Transporter — based on standard operating hours 5am–9pm, with the Gateway toll included and the final quote locked at booking. After-hours, Christmas Day, Easter Sunday and optional extras may incur additional charges. Per vehicle, not per passenger.
How long does Miami to Brisbane Airport take?
Around 1h 20–1h 25min off-peak via the Gold Coast Highway, M1, Logan Motorway and Gateway Motorway — approximately 101km. Weekday morning peak adds 20–30 minutes.
Is the Gateway Motorway toll included?
Yes. Already inside the locked quote — no separate toll charge on arrival.
Are there after-hours charges?
Yes. Displayed pricing is based on standard operating hours from 5am to 9pm. After-hours transfers between 9pm and 5am may incur an additional surcharge, which is calculated and confirmed in your online quote before booking.
When does BNE make sense instead of OOL?
OOL sits approximately 16km south of Miami — around 15–20 minutes by road — and is the preferred airport for most domestic and short-haul travel. The BNE run is for major long-haul international routes not normally available from OOL, and some domestic connections may be better routed through BNE depending on airline schedules. See our Miami to OOL page.
Do you handle Pacific Hotel Miami post-wedding group transfers?
Yes. Pacific Hotel Miami is a popular Gold Coast wedding and event venue, and post-wedding group movements to BNE are routine. The 12-seater Transporter handles 8 to 11 passengers in a single coordinated pickup.
Where do you pick up at Miami Marketta?
Miami Marketta pickups are usually arranged from the main Hillcrest Parade entrance or a nearby agreed meeting point. For busy Friday and Saturday evenings, include your preferred pickup location when booking so the driver can position correctly around event traffic.
Do you pick up from Miami beachfront apartments?
Yes. Pacific Parade, Marine Parade and beachfront apartment buildings are serviced door-to-door. Include the apartment name, unit number, lobby entrance or loading-zone details when booking so the driver reaches the correct pickup location.
Do you pick up from Miami Marketta on Friday and Saturday nights?
Yes. Late-night Marketta pickups are routine — both for guests heading home and for the post-Marketta-overnight-pre-airport pattern, and Friday and Saturday late-night runs are at the standard rate.
Do you handle Pizzey Park sports-team transfers?
Yes. Pizzey Park hosts state and national competitions, and team BNE bookings wrapping up competition are routine. The 12-seater Transporter handles full teams in a single coordinated transfer.
What pickup time do I need for a 9am international flight?
Approximately 4:35am. Drive plus the 3-hour international buffer lands you at BNE International around 6:00am for check-in. A pre-5am pickup falls outside standard hours and may attract an after-hours surcharge.
Do you handle family group departures?
Yes. The Kia Carnival handles families with child seats arranged at booking and multi-suitcase manifests, and the 12-seater Transporter covers larger group movements. Flag passenger count and luggage at booking.
Are child seats available?
Yes. Child seats are arranged at booking and CGC fits the correct rear-facing capsule, forward-facing seat or booster on request. Provide each child’s age and approximate size at booking. An additional child seat cost applies and is added to your quote at booking.
Are early-morning pickups available?
Yes. Pre-booked early morning and after-hours transfers are available. Early-morning pickups are routine for international BNE departures from the beachfront, the café strip and central Miami residential. Pickups before 5am fall outside standard operating hours and may attract an after-hours surcharge, confirmed in your online quote.
Is the return trip from Brisbane Airport the same price?
Yes — the run back to Miami costs the same as the trip up. Book both legs on one reservation; we monitor your inbound flight, meet you at the terminal and drop you back at the door, whether that’s a beachfront apartment, the café strip or central Miami.
How much luggage can each vehicle take?
The Sedan or similar carries up to 2 large suitcases plus carry-on, the Kia Carnival up to 6, and the 12-seater Transporter up to 10 — enough for a full wedding party’s suit bags and honeymoon cases or a sports squad’s gear. Note your bags (and anything bulky like sports equipment) at booking so the right vehicle is sent.
How do I pay?
Payment is made online by card when the booking is placed, so nothing changes hands in the car. Corporate accounts are available by prior approval.
What is the cancellation and flight-change policy?
Cancel more than 24 hours before pickup for a full credit toward a future booking; within 24 hours, no credit applies. If a flight is cancelled, you get a full credit beyond 4 hours, a 50% credit from 1.5 to 4 hours, and none inside 1.5 hours. Credits are non-refundable and carry to your next trip. The full terms are on our About Us page.
Can you take a group of more than 11?
Yes. A single Transporter covers 8 to 11, but for a wedding party, sports squad or multi-family group above 11 we run a multi-vehicle booking — several vehicles allocated together under one reservation with a coordinated pickup. Send the total passenger and luggage numbers and we organise the fleet.
