Car Hire Brisbane AirportBrisbane Airport is the main gateway into South East Queensland. Although the Gold Coast Airport is also and International arrival and departure point and both it and the Sunshine Coast Airport have domestic terminals, it is Brisbane Airport, with its no curfew operation that is the preferred airport for the major carriers. As Brisbane Airport services 26 international and 7 domestic airlines (such as Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Blue) then Car Hire at Brisbane Airport becomes a key factor for all visitors and tourists. Andy's Auto Rentals can arrange collection and return of your hire car to the terminals so that you can start your holiday or trip sooner. Whether you are a couple requiring a small car or a family looking for a people mover like a Toyota Previa, Andy's can help ease you convenience as well as saving you money on your rental. Brisbane Airport has three separate terminals, International, Domestic and a cargo terminal. Should you need to transfer between terminals the train service links these and departs every 15 minutes at a cost of just $4 (show your boarding card for your connecting flight and travel free of charge). Alternately, there are always plenty of Taxi's lined outside the doors of the terminal that are more than happy to complete the transfer for you. Both terminals have undergone extensive renovation and expansion in recent years as well as the surrounding airport district, which now features Hotels, retail businesses and the very popular Direct Factory Outlet Shopping Centre (DFO), which are now found at most major airports in the country. Other work included some major expansion works, including new check in and arrival facilities, more on-site retailers and Duty Free Shopping, a new multi level car park, extra baggage claim carousals and two new Airbus A380 gates. |
Brisbane Airport Transport Options
Of course we highly recommend our services for your car hire Brisbane Airport, however on many occasions our customers may wish to wait until the following day to collect their vehicle as they may be staying in Brisbane's central city district, which is only 15km away from the airport (20 minute drive). To get there from the airport is easy and cheap with the options being bus, train, limousine, corporate car or taxis. Signage is excellent, so if you have had your rental car delivered to Brisbane Airport then you simply need to follow the 'city' signs all the way in. The airport is conveniently located right near the Gateway Motorway which is the main route linking Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast to the South and Noosa and the Sunshine Coast to the North. Heading South from the Airport you will cross the toll bridge that requires a pre-arrange toll pass to be purchased (see GoVia).
The Airtrain that services Brisbane Airport links not only the 2 terminals but is also the fastest and most budget-friendly means of reaching Brisbane CBD. It's a swift 22-minute trip from the domestic terminal and costs only $12 one way. Book online www.airtrain.com.au or by phone (07) 3216 3308. The train will also continue another 60 minutes South, to the Gold Coast for those staying there.
The other options are Taxi, which depending on traffic and the time of day will cost upwards of $40.00 and they ar lined up outside each of the terminals 24 hours a day. There are also plenty of bus services transporting customers door to door to Brisbane central, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Coachtrans meets all and operates services to the Brisbane Transit Centre in the heart of the CBD for $9 or to your hotel door for $11.
