Journey: Gold Coast Airport to Sanctuary Cove

The journey from Gold Coast Airport to Sanctuary Cove can be a little complicated without the right assistance. With a distance of 49.3 kilometres between the two, the trip will take around 36 minutes to commute, and up to 60 minutes in peak traffic. Public transport is not quite as prevalent in the Gold Coast as it is in our larger cities. A bus journey from the airport will take around 1 hour and 50 minutes and with the added stress of layovers and heavy luggage, it is perhaps not the most pleasant way to start your holiday. Taxis, whilst convenient for short trips, are likely to rack up considerable meterage costs for a journey of this size.

Hughes on the other hand, offers you the most complete and optimal transport solution, combining all of the best features of airport travel including, comfort, convenience, cost and efficiency. Hughes has a fixed pricing system and door-to-door service, eliminating the usual hassles of other transport methods.
