We collect you from your hotel, office or apartment at a time worked back from your flight and take you to the right terminal for your airline. Early starts cost the same as the middle of the day.

How it works

From your lobby to your terminal.

  1. 1

    Book with your flight details

    Pickup address, flight number and time. You see the fixed fare before you pay.

  2. 2

    We confirm the pickup time

    Worked back from Sydney Airport’s advice (3 hours before an international flight; 2 hours before a domestic flight with checked bags, 1 hour with hand luggage only) and the traffic at that hour.

  3. 3

    Your chauffeur is waiting

    At the hotel driveway or front entrance, or at the office address you gave us, with a hand for the bags.

  4. 4

    Dropped at the right terminal

    T1 for every international flight, T3 for Qantas domestic, T2 for Virgin Australia, Jetstar and most others. Usually at the departures kerb; at peak times the airport can direct cars to the arrivals level instead.

The routes

Three ways out of the city to the airport.

Which way is quickest depends on where in the city you start and on the traffic at the time.

1

The Eastern Distributor south (M1), toll-free this way

From the east of the city your chauffeur joins the Eastern Distributor at Woolloomooloo and runs down Southern Cross Drive to both terminals. The Eastern Distributor charges no toll southbound.

Usual from: Macquarie Street, Martin Place, Circular Quay, The Rocks, Hyde Park

2

The Cross City Tunnel east, onto the Eastern Distributor

From the west of the city the Cross City Tunnel runs east under Bathurst Street and connects straight onto the Eastern Distributor southbound, so the trip skips the cross-town streets. Tolled.

Usual from: Darling Harbour, ICC Sydney, Town Hall, Darling Square

3

The Anzac Bridge, the M8 and Sydney Gateway

Across the Anzac Bridge to Rozelle, where your chauffeur joins the WestConnex M8 tunnels south to St Peters, then Sydney Gateway into T1 or T2/T3. Tolled, by distance.

Usual from: Barangaroo, Pyrmont, Rozelle, Balmain, White Bay Cruise Terminal

Your chauffeur checks live traffic before the pickup and takes whichever of the three is quickest at the time. The fare is the same on every route and already includes the tolls, so the route never changes what you pay.

Pickups

Hotels, offices and apartments across the CBD.

The same $95 from every precinct. Some of the places we collect from:

Sydney Airport advises arriving 3 hours before an international flight, 2 hours before a domestic flight if you are checking bags, and 1 hour with hand luggage only. The airport is 8 km from the CBD and says the drive takes about 25 minutes in light traffic; we add a 15-minute margin, so for a 6am domestic flight with checked bags we collect you at 3:20am and for a 6am international flight at 2:20am. In the weekday morning and afternoon peaks we allow more time and confirm it when you book.
Every international flight uses T1 International, including Qantas and Virgin Australia international services. Domestic flights use T2 or T3: T3 is the Qantas domestic terminal, and T2 serves Virgin Australia, Jetstar and most other domestic airlines. T2 and T3 sit side by side; T1 is a separate precinct a few kilometres away. Give us your flight number and we drop you at the right one.
