Brisbane Airport (BNE) is the major gateway for the Northern Rivers — the airport with the widest choice of domestic and international flights, about a 2-hour drive north of Byron Bay. Byron Bay Transfers runs private Brisbane airport transfers to Byron Bay and every town across the region: a fixed all-in fare quoted before you book, a driver who meets you at arrivals, and a vehicle held just for your group. Prefer the budget option? We also run a shared shuttle from $57 per person — more on that below.
Private Brisbane airport transfers — door-to-door, fixed fare
A private transfer is your own vehicle, direct from the Brisbane terminal to your door in Byron Bay. Over a 2-hour drive it’s the most comfortable option by far — no waiting for other passengers, no extra stops, and you arrive on your own schedule.
- Meet & greet at arrivals — we track your flight, domestic or international, and meet you after customs, so a delay never costs you your ride.
- Fixed, all-in fare — quoted up front, GST included, no meter and no surprises.
- Both terminals, door-to-door — Brisbane Domestic and International covered, straight to your accommodation anywhere in Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers.
- Room for everyone and everything — sedans, SUVs and larger vans across a big local fleet; surfboards, golf clubs and extra luggage welcome.
On a run this long a private transfer is comfortably the best value for two or more travelling together — one fixed fare split between you beats per-person shuttle pricing quickly.
Brisbane to Byron Bay shuttle — the budget option (from $57pp)
Travelling solo and watching the budget? Our shared shuttle runs Brisbane Airport to Byron Bay from $57 per person. You share the ride with other travellers heading the same way — the cheapest way across, with the trade-off of a set departure and a few extra stops (allow 160–190 minutes) rather than a direct private run. When a shared seat isn’t available for your flight, a private transfer gets you there faster and on your own schedule.
