Whether you're heading to catch a flight or arriving into Mermaid Waters for a holiday, a private transfer between Mermaid Waters and Gold Coast Airport (OOL) is one of our most frequently booked routes. This page covers pricing, journey time, and what's included, so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
Mermaid Waters is characterised by canals, lakes and residential streets just inland from Mermaid Beach. The suburb is also close to Pacific Fair, Bond University and the sporting facilities around Miami and Carrara.
Pricing
Mermaid Waters is one of our fixed-price suburbs, so your fare is set in advance and doesn't change based on traffic, time of day, or how the trip actually unfolds.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan | Up to 3 passengers, 2 suitcases | $70 |
| People Mover | Up to 6 passengers, 5 suitcases | $81 |
| Van | Up to 7 passengers, 7 suitcases | $92 |
These prices are for the vehicle, not per passenger. A meet & greet service — your driver waiting inside the terminal with a name sign, rather than at the curb — can be added for $49 when your pickup is at the airport.
