Across the border, an hour ahead in summer
The Tweed is in NSW. Tweed Shire Council describes the state border dividing the twin towns of Tweed Heads and Coolangatta (Tweed Shire Council), and NSW uses daylight saving while Queensland doesn't. For 2026–27, NSW clocks went forward on 4 October 2026 and go back on 4 April 2027 (NSW Government). When you book a pickup in a Tweed town for a Queensland flight between those dates, use NSW local time and add a note saying so.
Our licence covers trips that start or finish in Queensland, so we drive between the Tweed and the Gold Coast, Brisbane and both airports, but not between two NSW towns.
The towns
Tweed Heads joins Coolangatta at the border. Kingscliff and Casuarina sit on the coast to the south, with Cabarita Beach and Pottsville beyond. Murwillumbah is inland, on the way into the Tweed Valley. Staying further south around Byron? See Byron Shire transfers and the Gold Coast Airport to Byron Bay transfer.
What's included
- A vehicle for your party only, door to door.
- One fixed fare per vehicle, shown before you pay.
- Flight number on file for airport pickups, child seats by type, notes for your driver.
