THE SHORT ANSWER
From Gold Coast Airport, a private transfer costs $239 per vehicle to Lennox Head or Ballina, $269 to Lismore and $329 to Evans Head in an executive sedan. Trips must start or finish in Queensland, so we connect these towns with the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Queensland airports, not with other NSW towns.

From Brisbane
Some Northern Rivers trips from Brisbane aren't priced online; Brisbane Airport to Lennox Head, for example, is quoted by our team. Enter your trip in the booking form to see if it's priced instantly, or email info@myprivatetrips.com with your details for a quote.

The Queensland rule
Our licence covers trips that start or finish in Queensland. That means Gold Coast Airport to Ballina is fine, but Ballina to Byron Bay or Lismore to Lennox Head isn't something we can take. If you're flying into a NSW airport and staying in NSW, a local NSW operator is the right choice.
Mind the clock in summer
The Northern Rivers are 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). For a NSW pickup heading to a Queensland flight in those months, enter NSW local time and add a note saying so.
