News for South Coast flyers

From 15 November 2026, the airport train needs extra changes.

Until 14 November 2026, South Coast Line trains stop at Wolli Creek, the simple change for the airport. From 15 November 2026 they run into Central instead of Bondi Junction and no longer stop at Wolli Creek, so getting to the terminals by train means changing at Sutherland or Hurstville and again at Wolli Creek, or riding into Central and back out on the Airport Line (ABC News, NSW Government).

The Illawarra Mercury reports Wollongong to the domestic terminal at about 1 hr 42 min in the morning peak with changes at Sutherland and Wolli Creek, or about 1 hr 56 min via Central, compared with 82 to 85 minutes under the current timetable. South of Kiama the line is a diesel shuttle, and there is no train at all south of Bomaderry. Under the new timetable, off-peak and weekend services between Wollongong and Sydney become more frequent, which helps if you are travelling light.

By car, Wollongong to Sydney Airport takes about 1 hr 10 min outside peak, at a fixed $295. With luggage, children or an early flight, door-to-door is the simpler trip. Check your own train times on the Trip Planner.

Western Sydney International

WSI or Sydney Airport: which is closer from your town?

Western Sydney International opened on 25 October 2026 and has no overnight curfew. From the South Coast, the answer changes as you head south.

From Nowra southwards the shortest road to WSI runs inland via Kangaroo Valley, Moss Vale and the Hume Motorway, which is why WSI is the cheaper fare there. Your chauffeur picks the best road on the night; the fare stays fixed. Executive Sedan fares shown.

Who we drive

Families, cruise passengers, wedding guests and patients.

The South Coast is a long way from either airport, and the people who book the run are usually carrying something: children, cruise luggage, a fortnight in Europe, or an appointment they can't miss. That is why the Executive SUV and the Premium SUV suit so many South Coast trips, with a People Mover on request for bigger groups, and why the Premium Sedan is there for weddings and special occasions.

  • School holidays and family trips — one car for the whole family and its luggage, child seats fitted free.
  • Cruise days — fixed fares to Circular Quay's Overseas Passenger Terminal and White Bay, with the boot space cruise luggage needs.
  • Weddings — guests met at Sydney Airport and driven to Gerringong, Berry, Kangaroo Valley, Jervis Bay or Mollymook; ask about extra cars on the same schedule.
  • Hospital and specialist visits — door to door to Sydney hospitals with wait-and-return. See medical transfers.
  • Business and Defence travel — flight-tracked pickups, tax invoices, and monthly invoicing for corporate accounts.
Good to know

South Coast transfer FAQ.

With GR8 Transfers, fixed Executive Sedan fares to Sydney Airport T1 start at $215 from Helensburgh. Thirroul is $265, Wollongong $295, Shellharbour $360, Kiama $420, Gerringong $445, Berry $480, Nowra $540, Jervis Bay (Huskisson) $610, Ulladulla $735 and Batemans Bay $900. The T2/T3 domestic terminals are about 4 km further, so those fares are roughly $10 higher.
Every town and village from Helensburgh and Stanwell Park in the north to Batemans Bay, Malua Bay and Mogo in the south: 142 localities, each with its own fixed fare. That includes the Northern Illawarra, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Gerringong, Berry and Kangaroo Valley, Nowra and Bomaderry, Jervis Bay, St Georges Basin, Sussex Inlet, Ulladulla, Mollymook, Milton and Batemans Bay.
It depends where you start. From Helensburgh and Stanwell Park, Sydney Airport is about 28 km closer. From Thirroul down to Berry the two airports are roughly the same distance, via Appin Road for WSI. From Nowra southwards the shortest road to WSI runs inland via Kangaroo Valley and the Hume Motorway, so WSI is the cheaper fare. For example, Nowra is $510 to WSI against $540 to Sydney Airport T1.
A People Mover for 6–7 passengers is quoted on request: send an enquiry with your date, pickup and group size, and we confirm a fixed, all-inclusive price before you book. For four passengers, the Executive SUV to Sydney Airport T1 is $330 from Wollongong, $466 from Kiama, $600 from Nowra, $678 from Jervis Bay and $999 from Batemans Bay.
The Premium Sedan is GR8's luxury-class sedan for up to three passengers, priced at 1.2 times the base (Executive SUV) fare and rounded to the nearest $5. On the South Coast it is, for example, $395 from Wollongong, $560 from Kiama and $1,200 from Batemans Bay to Sydney Airport T1.
Yes, but from 15 November 2026 it takes more changes. From that date South Coast Line trains run into Central and no longer stop at Wolli Creek, so airport trips mean changing at Sutherland or Hurstville and again at Wolli Creek, or going via Central. The Illawarra Mercury reports Wollongong to the domestic terminal at about 1 hr 42 min in the morning peak with two changes, or about 1 hr 56 min via Central. South of Kiama the line is a diesel shuttle, and there is no train beyond Bomaderry.
To Sydney Airport T1 outside peak hours: Wollongong about 1 hr 10 min, Kiama about 1 hr 35 min, Nowra about 2 hr and Batemans Bay about 3 hr 35 min.

We track your flight, meet you inside the terminal with a name board, and wait free for 2 hours after an international landing or 1 hour after a domestic one.
Yes. Fares to the Sydney CBD also cover Circular Quay's Overseas Passenger Terminal and the White Bay Cruise Terminal: for example $335 from Wollongong, $465 from Kiama and $580 from Nowra in the Executive Sedan, with the Executive SUV and Premium SUV for cruise-sized luggage and a People Mover on request.
