Taxi
Services frequent GCCEC and its convenient location alongside Gold Coast Highway. If you would like to organise a taxi service when at GCCEC, ask at the reception desk or use the courtesy phone located in the foyer.
From Brisbane Airport (BNE)
- Shuttle minibus transfers are available. For example see https://www.con-x-ion.com/timetable/brisbane-airport-gold-coast-shuttle-bus-schedule
- Flying to/from Brisbane Airport (BNE) can often provide a greater choice of flight times and can also often have lower fares than the closer Gold Coast Airport. From Brisbane Airport, renting a car booked in advance for 2/3 days can often be a very economical and cheaper option than a Taxi, Uber or Private Transfer. There are also BNE to Gold Coast Airport Shuttle Services. Travelling by Train/Tram from BNE is the cheapest option, though takes longer.
Car Parking:
Undercover car spaces are available for day parking, including two EV chargers. The carparking is located under the conference centre and to access the conference and exhibition just take the lift, or stairs, up. We recommend leaving by the same lift/stairs that you used on arrival to make locating your car easier.
A $15 inclusive of GST flat rate is charged for parking per day at the centre. Clearance height: 2.1 metres.
Bus services:
Surfside Buslines operate frequently from the bus stop outside GCCEC on Gold Coast Highway.
