When planning a trip abroad, one of the first things you should do is gather as much information as possible on the various transportation methods available in the region you are planning to visit. This transportation information will be critical when planning your trip since it may influence where you will stay, and what you will do while on your trip.

When visiting the Gold Cost, public buses are the dominant form of public transportation. It is possible to arrange rail transportation between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, but there is no railway once you reach the Gold Coast. For information on the public bus system, you should obtain a copy of the Gold Coast transport planner. The planner will provide all needed information on bus times, routes and stops, which will assist you in planning your trip.

If you enjoy bike riding, the Gold Coast offers over 600km worth of biking paths. There are many shops in the area that rent bikes, with some even delivering the bikes to you at your hotel. Bike riding through the Gold Coast region is a very pleasant way to see the sights and the landscape.

There are many taxis around and although they are reasonably priced this can be a difficult and expensive way to get around Gold Coast if you are using taxis as your primary form of transportation.

Of all of the transportation options available in the Gold Coast area, car rentals and car hires are the most popular. Renting a car allows you to visit attractions at your own pace, without having to worry about making a bus or finding a taxi. Another benefit is that cars in the Gold Coast region can often be rented for reasonable rates. Renting a car will still allow you to experience the other forms of transportation available, if you want, while providing you the freedom to enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
