Arrivals Pickup at Gold Coast Airport
When you land at Coolangatta (OOL), here’s what happens:
- Your driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts if there are delays
- After you clear customs and collect your bags, head to the arrivals hall
- Your driver meets you at the arrivals pick-up point — or add meet and greet ($15) and they wait inside the arrivals hall with a name sign
- Walk directly to the vehicle — no waiting in taxi queues with a large group
Gold Coast Airport is a relatively compact terminal, which makes arrivals quick and straightforward for groups.
Departure Dropoffs at Gold Coast Airport
For departures, your maxi taxi driver will pick you up from your Gold Coast accommodation or address at your requested time. We recommend allowing:
- 90 minutes before a domestic flight
- 2.5 hours before an international flight
Drop-off is directly at the departures set-down area at the front of the terminal. No connecting buses, no dragging bags across car parks with a large group.
Why Book a Maxi Taxi Rather Than Multiple Ubers?
When travelling in a group of 5 or more, splitting into multiple rideshare cars gets expensive fast — and there’s no guarantee they all arrive at the same time. Our Gold Coast Airport maxi taxi keeps your whole group together in one vehicle at a single fixed price. For a group of 8, our $125 maxi taxi fare works out to just $15.63 per person to or from Surfers Paradise.
Families, Child Seats and Oversized Luggage
Our maxi taxis are well-suited for families travelling through Gold Coast Airport. We offer:
- Infant capsule (0–6 months)
- Toddler/convertible seat (6 months to 4 years)
- Booster seat (4–8 years)
- Generous luggage capacity — prams, golf clubs, sports bags, and oversized items are welcome
Just add your child seat requirements when booking online, or mention them when you call.
