Whether you're heading to catch a flight or arriving into Runaway Bay for a holiday, a private transfer between Runaway Bay 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.

Runaway Bay is a Broadwater waterfront suburb known for its marina, shopping centre and extensive network of canals. It is particularly associated with boating, fishing and access to the northern Gold Coast waterways.

In short: Runaway Bay to Gold Coast Airport is about 33km, taking 30 to 35 minutes outside peak traffic. A Sedan is $125, fixed — the same price whether traffic is light or heavy, quoted before you pay.

Pricing

Runaway Bay 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 $125
People Mover Up to 6 passengers, 5 suitcases $145
Van Up to 7 passengers, 7 suitcases $164

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.

Family-Friendly Travel

Travelling with young children adds its own list of things to organise — a private transfer takes child restraints off that list entirely.

Whether you're heading to the airport with a toddler in tow or arriving into Runaway Bay with an infant, the right seat is already in the vehicle, ready to go.
