Car Hire
The Gold Coast's public transport system is adequate for getting between your apartment and the nearest giant shopping centre, but if you really want to get out and enjoy the Gold Coast like a local, you're going to have to hire a car at some stage.

Places like Tedder Avenue in Main Beach, out-of-the-way beaches like The Spit, any attraction not on the Gold Coast highway, and most importantly, the beautiful Hinterland are not easily accessible by bus.

Taxis will take you wherever you want to go, but when car rental prices start from around $20 a day, it's usually cheaper (and more practical) to have your own vehicle. The Gold Coast road system is easy to navigate and well sign-posted, so finding your way around won't be difficult. Although, now days iPhones and personal GPS has made navigating your way around new cities easy.
