Airport Transfers

Brisbane’s international and domestic airport terminals are approximately 20 km northeast of the Central Business District (CBD), a 15 to 20-minute drive.

Taxi

Taxis are available 24/7 from sheltered ranks right outside the Domestic and International Terminals.

At the Domestic Terminal, the taxi rank is located centrally in the front of the Terminal building.
At the International Terminal, you will find the cab rank in front of the Terminal on the Level 2 Arrivals Road, through the doors and out to the left.

Brisbane has two taxi companies:

13cabs: 13 22 27
Black & White Cabs: 133 222

Passengers can expect to pay AU$45 – AU$55 (one way for a trip from the airport to Brisbane City). Outside of peak periods, it is approximately a 20-minute drive from the airport to the city. Please note there is a fee of AU$4.54 added to any fares collected from the airport. Remember that toll road fees are in addition to any cab fare and are the responsibility of the passenger.

Uber

Vistors can book an Uber pickup service. Please click here to check the estimated cost and airport pick-up location.

Car Hire

Brisbane Airport offers a range of affordable rental car options to give you access to Queensland’s Great South East and beyond. Please click here to see more information.

Airport Shuttle Bus

If you’re looking for a door-to-door transfer to and from Brisbane Airport, consider using the Con-x-ion shuttle bus transfer service. A single transfer from the airport to the city starts from AU$15. Con-x-ion operates from both Terminals with a pick-up and drop-off service that goes door-to-door to dozens of locations around Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Tickets can be purchased online here or at the sales kiosk at each Terminal.

Airtrain

The Airtrain is a quick and easy option for getting to and from the airport. Travelling between the Brisbane Airport and Brisbane City takes just 20 minutes. Airtrain travels express to the Gold Coast, linking to the G:link tram for travel to Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast beaches.

Train services run every 15 minutes during peak times and every 30 minutes off-peak periods. Airtrain also connects into the Queensland Rail suburban network.
