How to get from Brisbane Airport to the City Centre of Brisbane

Getting a Brisbane airport taxi to the city centre is definitely the easiest and most convenient travel option from BNE. Taxis are available 24/7 at Brisbane airport’s dedicated taxi ranks at both the International and Domestic terminals, both of which are staffed during peak hours. An off-peak ride to the city takes around 20 minutes, whereas a trip to the city centre during peak hours can take up to an hour.

The cost of a taxi from Brisbane airport to the city centre is calculated using a taximeter, so based on the time and distance travelled. Moreover, there are three tariffs based on the standard day fee, evening, night time, weekend or public holiday fee and an extra $3.50 AUD will be added to your end fare for an airport tax.
So when taking a Brisbane airport taxi into the city centre, you can expect to pay around €29 ($45 AUD) for your 20 minute journey, if you are travelling during the day and outside any peak hour.

However, if you wish to travel at a competitive fixed price, you can always book your private airport transfer in advance, at no extra cost.

Taking a taxi for your Brisbane airport to city transportation is the most comfortable and efficient way to travel, especially after a long flight and if you are travelling with heavy luggage. Although taxis can get quite pricey at night or on weekends – they can also be the more cost efficient option if you are travelling in a group, as taxi fares are per vehicle and not per person.

Moreover, you can always book a private transfer company at a fixed rate price and avoid unforeseen expenses.
