Brisbane airport is located a short distance from the CBD – around 14km to its north east. That places it about 70km from Hope Island, a well-known suburb of the Gold Coast. A distance like that isn’t one you would normally think twice about. However, travelling from the airport is a different story. Without a car, travelling 70km is something of a logistical challenge. That is compounded by the fact that, of the many available options, few transport solutions from Brisbane airport seem suitable. Sure, there are plenty of trains, buses, taxis, and hire cars. But the first two options are time consuming, and the latter two are prohibitively expensive. So where does that leave you? It leaves you with the clear best of the bunch: a private transfer from Hughes. At Hughes, we offer door to door service in our premium and luxury vehicles. We operate at all times of the day and night, and take pride in maintaining affordable rates. Those factors combine to create a service that is faster, more affordable, and more reliable than any other.

Pick up and drop off: meeting your Hope Island transfer at Brisbane airport
Of course, before you hit the road you have to find your lift from the airport. And in some airports, that could be a mission in and of itself. Luckily, though, Brisbane airport is not one of them. Brisbane airport is famously easy to negotiate, with clear signage and an efficient pick up/drop off area. That area is located out the front of the domestic terminal. As a result, finding your ride simply involves a quick departure through the arrivals hall and into the pick up zone. If you’re in the international terminal, it’s a bit different – but just as easy. The international terminal has a pick up zone on level 2, and a drop off zone on level 4.
Seeing what Hope Island has to offer with Hughes’ Brisbane airport transfers
Hope Island is known for many things. One of them is its upscale gated community – the Hope Island Resort – and another is its abundant marinas, golf courses, and tennis facilities. But what a lot of people don’t know of Hope Island, is its history. Its name, for example, is derived from the colonial identity Captain Luis Hope, who developed Queensland’s now-thriving sugar industry. To immerse yourself in every aspect of Hope Island, reliable transport is key. And that’s just what you get with a Hughes transfer.
