Surfers Paradise, home to arguably Australia’s most recognisable and stunning skyline, is a lively, eccentric suburb and a main epicentre of the Gold Coast. Located a brief 22.5 kilometres from the Gold Coast Airport, a car ride takes approximately 28 minutes. Many travellers visiting the Gold Coast make surfers paradise their first port of call, and there’s little wonder why, it is in many ways the epitome of the Gold Coast experience. But before deciding on whether to hit the beach or order a pint, you’ll first need to arrange transport. Gold Coast Airport, whilst well-resourced, can be a little on the sparse side when it comes to transportation.
For those who prefer public transport, you’ll need to catch the 777-bus line which involves a layover and has an average travel time of 50 minutes. After this, taxis and hire cars are both available but can be costly in terms of time and money. If you want to ensure that you reach your destination via the fastest possible route and for the most competitive price, we recommend a chauffeur-driven transfer with Car Australia. We offer a wide range of vehicles driven by professionally trained drivers who are available to transport you any time of the day or night.
