Gold Coast Airport or a Gold Coast hotel: choose the right pickup
Gold Coast Airport is also known as Coolangatta Airport and uses the code OOL. An airport-to-Byron quote is not the same itinerary as starting at a Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach hotel. Choose your actual pickup address, and include your flight number only when the journey begins at the airport.
Byron town accommodation, Suffolk Park, Ewingsdale and Bangalow have different final approaches. For a retreat or rural property, give the street address and any gate or driveway instructions, not just the nearest town. Let us know about surfboards and larger luggage before selecting the vehicle.
This trip crosses from Queensland into New South Wales. During daylight saving, Byron Bay is one hour ahead of Gold Coast Airport. Check the local arrival time if you are meeting a retreat host, checking into accommodation or attending an event.

Meeting your driver after landing
Provide your flight number, arrival date and terminal when booking. Allow time to collect luggage and, for an international arrival, clear border formalities. Your confirmation should be your reference for the meeting point and driver contact details; contact us if your flight or terminal changes.
This journey crosses the Queensland to New South Wales border. During NSW daylight saving, local times differ by one hour. Use the local time at each pickup point and check that flight and accommodation times refer to the correct state.
Choose a vehicle for people and luggage
Passenger count alone does not determine the right vehicle. Let us know about child restraints, large suitcases, mobility equipment and sports gear before confirmation. Compare our vehicle options and ask about any special requirement rather than assuming it will fit.
For hotels and retreats, provide the arrival or checkout time and a contactable mobile number. A group travelling on different flights may need separate pickup arrangements; include all flight details when requesting a quote.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer from Gold Coast Airport to Byron Bay?
Request a quote using your exact pickup and destination, travel date, passenger count and luggage. Review the vehicle and confirmed total before reserving. Pricing is for the booked vehicle and itinerary, not an unrelated advertised starting fare.
Is the vehicle shared with other passengers?
No. This is a private transfer for your party. There are no unrelated passenger pickups or shuttle drop-offs on your confirmed direct journey.
Can we travel with child seats or oversized luggage?
Tell us the children’s ages and required restraints, plus the number and size of bags, prams, surfboards or other equipment. Seating and luggage capacity must both fit the vehicle; confirm unusual requirements before booking.
Can I book the return direction?
Yes. Supply the return date, time and addresses separately so both legs can be planned. For an airport pickup, include the inbound flight number; for an airport drop-off, include the departing flight and terminal.
What if the flight or itinerary changes?
Contact Unison Transfers with your booking reference and revised details as soon as possible. Changes depend on availability and the booking conditions. Review the cancellation and amendment terms before confirming your reservation.
