Byron Bay is across the border in New South Wales, about 95 km south of Surfers Paradise. By road the trip takes around 80 to 95 minutes. GEC Transfers takes you there in a private vehicle booked for your party only. No shared shuttle, no other passengers and no hotel stops on the way.
Your driver collects you at your door in Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Coolangatta or anywhere else on the Gold Coast. You are dropped at your accommodation in Byron Bay, or in Bangalow, Lennox Head, Ballina, Brunswick Heads or Mullumbimby. Enter the two addresses in the booking form and it shows the fixed price before you pay. You pay online by card, so there is nothing to pay in the car.
Luggage help is included. The driver loads your bags at pickup and unloads them at the other end.

Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta is the closest airport to Byron Bay. The drive is about 55 km and takes around 50 to 60 minutes. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. We monitor your flight, so if it lands late the pickup time moves with it and the driver is still there when you walk out.
From Brisbane Airport the run is longer and most of it is on the M1. It suits travellers whose international flight lands in Brisbane and whose holiday starts in Byron. The meet and greet works the same way. See Gold Coast Airport transfers and Brisbane Airport transfers.
Your driver takes the M1 south along the coast. The motorway crosses into New South Wales at Tweed Heads, and from there it is a straight run to the Byron Bay turn-off.
One thing catches visitors out. From October to April, New South Wales runs on daylight saving time and Queensland does not. In those months Byron Bay is one hour ahead of the Gold Coast. When you book a pickup in Byron Bay, use the local Byron time. If you are heading back to Gold Coast Airport or Brisbane Airport for a flight, remember the flight departs on Queensland time, one hour behind the clock in Byron. Your driver plans the pickup with the difference in mind.
