From Gold Coast Airport
Gold Coast Airport's pick-up zones are at the front of the terminal along Terminal Drive and are for immediate pick-ups only, so passengers wait at the kerb (Gold Coast Airport). Your booking confirmation gives the meeting arrangement. Enter your flight number when you book. More arrival details: Gold Coast Airport transfers.
Daylight saving and the Queensland rule
Lismore 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). Enter Lismore pickups in NSW local time during those months, and add a note saying so.
Our trips must start or finish in Queensland, so we can drive Lismore to the Gold Coast or Brisbane, but not Lismore to Ballina, Byron Bay or other NSW towns.
Who this suits
