Please wait INSIDE the terminal. Please do not go outside the terminal.
You can check our timetable page or booking system for approximate pick up and drop off times. Your pick up time will also be printed on your itinerary.

Nothing, they are both the same airport but some people still call the Gold Coast Airport by its original name of Coolangatta Airport. Coolangatta means “Place of Good View” in Aboriginal. Some itineraries will refer to Coolangatta Airport, OOL or Gold Coast Airport but they are one and the same.
This depends on where in Brisbane you need to go. On average it takes around 1.5 – 2 hours from the Gold Coast airport to most of our Brisbane drop-off points. It is approximately 145km from Gold Coast Airport to Burpengary (suburb North of Brisbane).

If you are flying with Air Asia or Scoot airlines we will be aware of any flight delays. We will most likely have other passengers in the same situation too, so in most circumstances we can wait for you. We ask that you make contact with our driver as soon as you land to keep us informed.
You must contact our driver as soon as possible to inform us about the delay and we will wait for a short time to allow you to board our shuttle. Our departure time has been designed to allow for possible delays however, we cannot make other passengers wait for significantly long times at the airport so on the rare occasion where the bus has to leave without you we will provide information about alternative forms of transport. If you miss the shuttle due to issues outside our control you will need to seek recourse from the party responsible for the delay. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance to cover such incidents.
We ask that you provide as much notice as possible if your flight is cancelled. You can expect a refund (less admin fee) if you provide more than 48 hours notice.
We always allow plenty of time on our schedule to get to the airport on time. We aim to arrive at your location at the time stated on your itinerary but because we are a shared shuttle with varying locations it is hard to set an exact pick up time. If your driver has not arrived at the time specified on your itinerary you are welcome to phone him/her and check how far away they are. We understand how important your travel plans are and can boast that we have delivered thousands of passengers to the airport with 100% making their flights on time.
If you are running late or have slept in you must make contact with our driver as soon as possible. As a shared shuttle we have a responsibility to ensure all our passengers reach the airport in plenty of time for their flights so it is very important that you are ready to board the bus at the time specified on your itinerary.
We understand that travel plans can change so as long as you give us 48 hours we will refund your payment (less a $20 administration fee). We do not offer refunds for no-shows or if you fail to give adequate notice.
Due to privacy laws airlines cannot confirm whether passengers have boarded their plane so if you do not call the driver to notify of your delay we cannot be sure if you boarded the plane and will not know if we should wait for you.
