Journey: Gold Coast Airport to Helensvale

Helensvale is approximately 42 kilometres north of Gold Coast Airport and the average journey via car should take around 35 minutes. For those accustomed to taking public transport, this option is certainly available. The route, however, is not direct and a change from bus to the tram is required, with a total trip amounting to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Taxis and hire cars are accessible, although can become quite costly, given the distance.

The best option is a chauffeur-driven transfer with Hughes. Our services are both convenient and cost-effective whilst never compromising on comfort. We offer a highly competitive fixed-rate, so there’s no need to count the meter. At Hughes, we understand the strain that airport travel can present and are accustomed to working with tight schedules, our door-to-door service guarantees efficiency and punctuality. Our professionally trained, private chauffeurs operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and have a wide range of luxury vehicles, to suit any occasion.
