Brisbane Airport Toll Costs: AirportlinkM7 and Gateway
Brisbane Airport can be reached by tolled or toll-free routes. The toll you pay depends on your starting point, direction and whether the journey uses AirportlinkM7, the Gateway Motorway or more than one toll point.
AirportlinkM7 car tolls in 2026
Bowen Hills to Kedron: $7.16
Bowen Hills to Toombul: $7.16
Kedron to Toombul: $5.36
AirportlinkM7 is a 6.7 kilometre tunnel linking Bowen Hills, Kedron and Toombul. A journey from another part of Brisbane may also use Clem7, Legacy Way or another tolled road, so do not assume the Airportlink amount is the total trip cost.
Gateway Motorway and the airport
Trips approaching from the south or east may use the Gateway Motorway. The Murarrie toll point is $6.02 for an ordinary car from 1 July 2026. The exact route depends on your origin and live traffic conditions.
How to estimate the complete cost
Use Linkt's Brisbane toll calculator with your actual start and destination. Check every toll point shown, not only the road closest to the airport. Taxi tolls are normally added to the metered fare, while rental-car toll arrangements depend on the hire company.
Can I avoid the toll?
Yes, toll-free alternatives exist for many trips, but they can add distance and time. Compare the toll with expected fuel use, traffic and your arrival deadline before selecting a route.
