What our chauffeur hire includes
A chauffeur service should remove decisions from your day, not add them. Every booking with MyPrivateTrips works the same way, whether it is a short hop from the airport to Coolangatta or a cross-border run to Byron Bay.
- Your own vehicle and driver. Nobody else is picked up on the way. The car goes from your door to your destination.
- A fixed price per vehicle, not per person. The fare covers everyone in your party, and you see it before you pay.
- Airport-aware booking. When your pickup is an airport, the booking form asks for your arrival flight number so it is on file with your trip.
- Child seats. Add rear-facing, forward-facing or booster seats by quantity while you book.
- Return journeys in one booking. Choose Return and add your second pickup; both legs are priced and paid together.
- Secure card payment. Payment is taken through a secure card form on this site.
If you are comparing a chauffeur with a rideshare or a shuttle, the practical differences are the fixed fare, the vehicle choice and having no shared stops. Our guide to Brisbane Airport to the Gold Coast: every option compared sets the options side by side with sourced prices.

A chauffeur for every kind of day
Airport arrivals and departures
Most of our chauffeur hire starts or ends at an airport. Gold Coast Airport sits at Bilinga on the southern end of the coast, and Brisbane Airport has separate domestic and international terminals. Our Gold Coast Airport transfers hub lists every fare from the terminal, and Brisbane Airport private transfers covers the northern gateway.
Business travel and corporate days
A sedan with a calm cabin lets you take calls between meetings instead of hunting for parking. Companies arranging travel for staff or visiting clients can find accounts and invoicing details under corporate transfers Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Weddings and celebrations
Moving a bridal party or a van-load of guests between a hotel, a ceremony and a reception takes planning. Start with wedding guest transfers, which explains how to split guests across vehicles and timings.
Theme parks, the hinterland and the coast
A chauffeur means nobody has to drive home after a long day at the parks. See Gold Coast theme park transfers for the main parks, or head up the range with a Gold Coast to Tamborine Mountain transfer.
South to Northern NSW
Our licence covers trips that start or finish in Queensland, so trips from the Gold Coast and Brisbane across the border can be booked online. Popular choices include the Gold Coast to Byron Bay transfer, the beaches of the Tweed Coast transfers page and the towns grouped under Byron Shire transfers.
Cruise days
If your holiday starts at sea, Brisbane cruise terminal transfers explains how to time a pickup from the Gold Coast around boarding.
Where our Gold Coast chauffeurs drive
We collect from homes, hotels, resorts and offices right along the coast, from the northern marinas to the border. Common pickup suburbs include Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Main Beach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Coolangatta, Robina, Southport, Hope Island and Sanctuary Cove. Every one of them has a fare row on our Gold Coast suburb transfers page.
Beyond the Gold Coast, the same chauffeur service runs between Brisbane and the coast. Travellers heading into the city can book a private transfer Brisbane to Gold Coast, and early flyers often choose a Brisbane to Gold Coast Airport transfer when the cheaper fare is out of the southern airport.
Hourly and multi-stop chauffeur hire
Online booking is built for point-to-point trips, with a fixed price for each one-way or return journey. Some days do not fit that shape: a property inspection tour, a winery afternoon, a roadshow with four meetings, or a wedding party that needs a car standing by.
For those, email info@myprivatetrips.com with the date, your start and finish points, each stop and how long you expect to stay. We will reply with a quote for the day before anything is booked.
How to book a chauffeur on the Gold Coast

- Add the detailsYour contact details, flight number for airport pickups, child seats and any notes for the driver.

Tips for a smoother chauffeur booking
- Book early for busy dates. The booking form shows the earliest pickup time currently available, so check it as soon as your plans are set.
- Count every bag. Vehicle choice depends on luggage as much as passengers; a sedan carries two bags, a van five.
- Use the exact address. A hotel name or street address gives the most accurate fare and a smoother pickup.
- Add child seats by type. Rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats are listed separately so the right seat is fitted.
