Travelling back to Brisbane? The Murwillumbah-to-Brisbane fare is calculated from your address, date and pickup time, and appears before payment. Book both directions in one go by choosing Return. Fares for other towns are on private transfer prices.
When a private transfer suits
Whether you're visiting family, staying on a property outside town, going to a wedding at a rural venue or spending a few days on the rail trail, the problem is the same: getting a group and its bags from Brisbane to one address without hiring a car for the week. A fixed fare for the whole vehicle, agreed before you travel, solves it. For a wedding, also read planning wedding guest transport.
Pickup points at each end
Brisbane Airport
Vehicles collecting pre-booked passengers at Brisbane Airport must hold a listing on a Brisbane Airport Ground Transport Licence and use controlled pre-booked zones (Brisbane Airport). Your booking confirmation states the meeting arrangement. The form asks for your flight number; set the pickup to your scheduled landing time. See also Brisbane Airport private transfers.
Brisbane City and Murwillumbah
Door to door. For a rural property, put clear directions in the driver notes: the name on the gate, which driveway, and anything a sat-nav might get wrong.
NSW time and the Queensland rule
Murwillumbah is in NSW, which uses daylight saving; Queensland doesn't. For 2026–27, NSW clocks moved forward on 4 October 2026 and move back on 4 April 2027 (NSW Government). In those months Murwillumbah is an hour ahead of Brisbane.
Enter your Murwillumbah pickup in local NSW time, and mention that in the notes so it's clear. The NSW and Queensland summer time difference shows how to convert.
Our trips must start or finish in Queensland. That covers Brisbane, the Gold Coast and both airports, but not trips between Murwillumbah and other NSW towns such as Byron Bay or Lismore.
Timing the trip to your flight
We don't quote drive times. To choose a pickup for a Brisbane departure:
- Write down your departure and the airline's check-in or bag-drop deadline, both in Queensland time.
- Count back for a drive of 139 km or so, and add a margin for traffic.
- Between October and early April, add one hour to get Murwillumbah time.
- Book that pickup; the form shows the earliest time available for your date.

The rail trail starts in town
Murwillumbah is where the Tweed section of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail begins. Tweed Shire Council describes it as 24 km long, running from the heritage-listed Murwillumbah Railway Station to Crabbes Creek, past Burringbar and Mooball stations. It's sealed with asphalt from the station to the Tweed Regional Art Gallery & Margaret Olley Centre and between Burringbar and Mooball, with compacted gravel elsewhere, and the route takes in 18 railway bridges and two tunnels. Council says it's free and open to people of all ages and abilities (Tweed Shire Council).
If you're coming to ride or walk it, tell us your address in town and list any extra gear in the driver notes so the right vehicle is sent.
