Your journey at a glance
A private arrival. A clear fare.
Travel between QT Gold Coast and Gold Coast Airport for $101 each way in a private Cadillac LYRIQ. The reference journey is 31.2 km and around 36 minutes’ driving, before traffic allowance. The same published fare applies in either direction, for the vehicle rather than each passenger.
Your pickup at QT Gold Coast
Specify QT Gold Coast, 7 Staghorn Avenue, Surfers Paradise, and include whether collection follows checkout or an event. If you are leaving after Yamagen, Bazaar or a function, gather your party and any stored luggage before the pickup time. Confirm the vehicle meeting point with your driver instead of using a restaurant name alone. For a group with separate arrival flights, provide the booking details clearly so each transfer is planned around the correct passengers.
The journey to Surfers Paradise
The reference route between Gold Coast Airport and QT Gold Coast is 31.2 km, with around 36 minutes of driving in normal conditions. GGCLT's route calculation allows around 53 minutes for road travel planning. Your destination is Surfers Paradise, so the final approach is planned around your hotel's actual arrival address. Beachfront traffic, school holidays and major events can add time; your driver can help plan a sensible collection time for your flight.
Arriving at Gold Coast Airport
Arriving at Gold Coast Airport in Bilinga, keep your mobile available while you collect your luggage. Your driver will confirm the meeting point directly, so follow those instructions before heading outside.

From the airport, your private transfer continues to QT Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise.
From your hotel to the terminal

About QT Gold Coast
QT Gold Coast brings colour, character and a lively dining scene to the northern side of Surfers Paradise. The Staghorn Avenue hotel combines designer rooms and suites with the Japanese dining of Yamagen, Bazaar's marketplace-style restaurant and drinks at Stingray Lounge. The Spring poolside precinct and spaQ create space for a slower day between beach visits and evenings out.
With event rooms and celebration venues within the property, it is also a distinctive choice for a conference, wedding or group stay. A private airport transfer suits an arrival with luggage and helps keep departure plans straightforward after a weekend built around dining, the beach or a special occasion.
A little local context
QT's Surfers Paradise location suits beach time, dining and a visit to Cavill Avenue without placing every outing inside the hotel. If your stay coincides with a major Surfers Paradise event, discuss collection arrangements in advance. On departure, allow space between the last activity, collecting luggage and the airport transfer.
