Brisbane Airport

When you arrive at Brisbane Airport, you've got a few options when you drag yourself and your luggage into the city centre. There's taxis, buses, trains -- and then there's the rental car.

The Brisbane CBD is 13 kilometres away from the Brisbane Airport (both domestic and international) and is easily navigable even for the first-time visitor. Now, obviously those of us who are flying into Brisbane and are planning on renting a car will be wanting to pick it up from the airport. All the most popular car rental companies have depots there. But even if you're looking to save some money and think taking the bus or train is the cheaper option, you should stop and have a look at how much a simple one-day rental will cost.

By booking a car rental through Carhire.com.au you can increase your chances of finding that brilliant car hire Brisbane Airport deal because it collates all the specials offered by all of Australia’s most popular car hire companies in one place.

So options like a taxi might be attractive if you aren’t a big fan of public transportation, but just check out the costs. Just by visiting Brisbane Airport you can see that a one-way fare to the CBD is around $25. If you plan ahead, and keep an eagle-eye peeled for great deals, you can sort out a car rental for around the same price, with the difference being you have your own private transportation for an entire 24 hours.

Coaches also run between the CBD and the airport, but the prices range between $9-11, so if you’re travelling with a buddy, a group, or your family then it makes sense to consider booking a Brisbane Airport rental car for the price, the convenience, and the freedom.

Go to Brisbane Airport to check out departure and arrival times, and their extensive range of maps to show the first-timer (or the nervous) how to navigate the streets of Brisbane, and how to get to the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast.
