Ballina to Gold Coast, Private Chauffeur Transfer

Whether you're departing from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK) or from a Byron Bay or Ballina address, Unison Transfers provides a fixed price private chauffeur service north to the Gold Coast, 90 km up the Pacific Highway through Tweed Heads and into the heart of the Gold Coast.

Route Details

From Ballina or BNK, your chauffeur heads north on the Pacific Highway through Wardell, Broadwater, and Brunswick Heads before crossing the NSW/QLD border at Tweed Heads. From there, the familiar Gold Coast Highway corridor takes you to your destination, Coolangatta, Burleigh Heads, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, or beyond.

Why Ballina to Gold Coast?

Many travellers flying into BNK (which services the Byron Bay region) prefer the Gold Coast's shopping, nightlife, and theme parks for a day trip or the beginning of a longer stay. Equally, residents of Ballina and Lennox Head regularly use the Gold Coast Airport for flights, given OOL's extensive domestic network.

⏰ NSW–QLD time-zone reminder: Australian daylight saving (October–April) puts NSW one hour ahead of QLD. If you're flying out of OOL or BNE first thing, your QLD departure time looks earlier than your NSW pickup time. We coordinate both — just give us your booking time in either state and we'll lock the right pickup.
