Sydney CBD & cruise transfers.
Hotels, events, meetings and cruise terminals — fixed-fare chauffeur transfers into the heart of Sydney, timed to the minute.
A chauffeur from Newcastle to the Sydney CBD is a fixed $579 one way (~160 km); from Gosford it’s $319. Cruise terminal drop-offs at Circular Quay and White Bay are timed to your boarding window, with luggage handled kerb to kerb.
Arrive in the city like you own it.
Theatre nights, hotel check-ins, big meetings, concerts at the ICC, or the start of a two-week cruise — the trip down shouldn’t be the stressful part. We drop you at the door (or the gangway), on time, with your bags handled and your fare already settled.
Cruise days are a specialty: we schedule around your boarding window, not a generic ETA, and on the return we track your ship’s actual berthing so disembarkation delays never leave you stranded at the terminal.
- Hotel & venue door drops — CBD hotels, ICC Sydney, stadiums and theatres.
- Cruise terminals — Overseas Passenger Terminal (Circular Quay) and White Bay, both directions.
- Event-proof scheduling — we plan around road closures and event traffic before they surprise you.
- Return legs welcome — Sydney-side pickups back to the Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter, any hour.
