A private transfer from Robertson to the Sydney cruise terminals costs $349 one way for one to two passengers. The trip is 145 km and takes about 2 hr 28 min. Tolls, fuel and GST are included, and no deposit is required — you pay the driver after drop-off.
Robertson sits 145 km from the Sydney cruise terminals — Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and White Bay — a 2 hr 28 min drive on a clear road. Out through the southern and eastern Highlands the roads are quieter but the distance is real, so the pickup times matter more here than almost anywhere we serve.
That run is a flat $349 one way. No meter and no surge: just a $10 airport pickup fee and set fees for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.
You do not pay anything up front. No deposit, no stored card, and no fee if your plans change. The driver takes payment after drop-off.
Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 14 are further from Sydney than Robertson and 39 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Exeter at 131 km and Wildes Meadow at 135 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the South & East Highlands zone the typical run is 128 km; yours is 17 km longer than that.
Worked as a rate, this run costs about $2.41 per kilometre against a network median of $2.50. We publish every suburb so you can check that logic yourself rather than take our word for it.
Split between passengers, the Robertson run works out cheaper the more of you travel. Every tier allows one check-in bag and one carry-on each.

Compared with a metered taxi from Robertson, the advantage is that you know the number before you get in and there is room for full-size cruise cases. Compared with a shared shuttle, you are not waiting for other passengers or being dropped third on sailing day. The fare is $349 either way.

Cruise lines usually open boarding around four to five hours before departure and close it 60 to 90 minutes before.
