If you’re planning a trip to the Gold Coast, no doubt you’re considering all the things you’d like to do. From SeaWorld, Movie World and Wet ‘n’ Wild to the incredible natural attractions off the beaten track, there’s truly something for everyone in this unique part of the world. But with so much to do and so much to see, what’s the best way to get around? If you find yourself tossing up whether or not you should hire a car during your stay, read on for our handy tips on why a rental might be the best option for you.
Limited Public Transport
When planning your trip, you will want to see some of the well-known attractions. The Gold Coast’s fantastic theme parks are mostly accessible via public transport, so you won’t need to worry much about getting from A to B. But if you want to head off on some scenic adventures, public transport alone won’t cut it. You’ll find yourself limited by a timetable and by set destinations along the route – so gone is the opportunity to stop when you like or just jump off and explore. The Gold Coast’s public transport is not ideal for those looking for a spontaneous adventure where they can choose their own timings and destinations.
A Wide Area To Be Discovered
With an almost-60km-long coastline, the Gold Coast is, well, long. Unlike other major cities around the country, it’s not condensed and attractions or points of interest are more spread out than they are in other places. As a result, if you’re wanting to travel more than just a short distance from the airport and to and from your destinations, you’ll be wise to hire a car rather than aiming to go by foot.
Money Savings
Many holidaymakers and tourists opt for Uber travel these days. It’s quick, efficient, and you know you’ll get from A to B in style and comfort. But is it the most economical choice? If you’re heading out for a day of exploration and travel on the Gold Coast, it’s cheaper to hire a car than it is to hire an Uber. This is largely the case because of the Gold Coast’s expansive area, making travel time between each destination longer than it tends to be in other locations across Australia.
