Greetings From Sa

hey guys n girls

me and a mate are flying up to Brisbane this Friday night to look at and buy a car Saturday ,

the car is in Holland Downs which is what, 40mins roughly from the air port?

just wondering if anyone would have any idea what the taxi fare from the airport to Holland Downs would be & if anyone knows of any motels in the area as we'll need

a bed or two for the night on the cheap .

also , if anyone would be able to give us a lift to a motel in that area we will give you cash

cheers heaps in advance !

[doo doo]

Hey dude, you sure it's Holland Downs? There's a Holland Park- about 30 mins from the airport. How many of you travelling and what time you arriving? Might be able to supply said lift, can look at hotels for ya too, what's your budget? PM me if you need

[DamageInc]

yeah its Holland Park haha , my bad!

so far we have budgeted for $150 for a taxi & motel for one night

[DamageInc]

ok, we've booked flights

arriving 11:25 PM Brisbane Friday

if you could get back to me today Andrew that would be great

[BstewyR33]

yeah $150 "should" be plenty, depends on the driver and how stupid they are....

i've caught a taxi back from town to abotu 45 mins northside and it came to $100

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

11.25PM.. i'd just sleep at the airport.. or fly in to arrive early Sat morning.. you'd then be able to get the AirTrain (train leaves from the airport) to Central station (city).. then catch a taxi to holland park or bus..

need a half decent sleep as were driving back to Adelaide Saturday afternoon..

weren't any flights Saturday morning as thats what we had planned but could only book them Wednesday and the 6am flight to Brisbane got all booked out Sunday night

Airtrain into Roma street station (middle of city basically), then head down to the busway and bus it down the busway (south... don't go the wrong direction) down to holland park. then there's a short/longer walk to get to where your going...Airtrain is a bit expensive, but bus tickets from the city out to hollandpark would only be less than 3 bucks each.

Edit: of course, dunno if they'd be running (bus probably would) at 11pm.

Hey here's some options- you can book a hotel near the airport (lastminute.com)for about 90- 120 for the night, cost about 10- 15 bucks in a cab though still (fri night has about $3.50-$4 flagfall plus dollar airport pickup fee), then I can give you a lift to holland park in the morning (I live quite close by and don't mind)

OR

I can pick you up fri night from the airport and take you to a motel nearer to Holland Park and you can cab to where you need to go in the morning- look on lastminute.com again and there's a couple of places for about 100-120 for a twin - greenslopes and carindale are close (10 bucks max in a cab) to where you need to go. Hotel Carindale has an Irish pub/nightclub so if you need to not be potentially distracted from sleep for your drive back down I'd suggest the greenslopes motel option.......

Let me know what you book and feel free to text call me 0403 486 876

[DamageInc]

Big thanks to Andrew for all his help ,

Really appreciate it mate !!!

quick word of advice

DONT DRIVE QUEENSLAND TO ADELAIDE WITH COILOVERS

that is all ..

[jase-r34]

Dude Brisbane to Adelaide is a sucky drive no matter what your in hahaha. I did it in a fully loaded up WB one tunner with no aircon in summer a few years back. great times.....!
