Gold Coast Airport is the nearer airport
By our booking system, Byron Bay is 67 km from Gold Coast Airport and 173 km from Brisbane Airport, so the sedan fare is less than half from the southern airport. Arrival details: Gold Coast Airport transfers.
Daylight saving and the licence rule
The Byron Shire is in NSW, which uses daylight saving; Queensland doesn't. For 2026–27, NSW clocks went forward on 4 October 2026 and go back on 4 April 2027 (NSW Government). Use NSW local time for Byron pickups in those months and add a note saying so.
Every trip must start or finish in Queensland, so we drive between the Byron Shire and the Gold Coast, Brisbane or the Queensland airports, but not between two NSW towns, such as Byron Bay and Bangalow.
