There are six car hire companies located at Gold Coast Airport, also known as Coolangatta Airport, on Australia’s east coast. Home to long sandy beaches, surfing spots and inland canals and waterways, not to mention some of Australia’s finest theme parks and hiking trails, the region attracts visitors all year round. Many visitors who come to the Gold Coast combine their trip with a stop-off in Brisbane, situated 80 kilometres to the south and having access to your own car adds huge convenience to such excursions.
