A private transfer from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Avoca, priced at $339 before you book. We are there when you walk out, however late you land.
One-way fare. Tolls, fuel and GST included. We track your ship — delays cost you nothing. No deposit; you pay the driver after drop-off.
A private transfer from the Sydney cruise terminals to Avoca in the Southern Highlands costs $339 one way for one to two passengers. The drive is 138 km and takes about 2 hr 19 min. We track your ship and wait at the designated pick-up area at the terminal, with waiting time and parking included. No deposit — you pay the driver after drop-off.
We watch the ship rather than the clock. That is the whole difference between a booked transfer and hoping something is waiting outside: the pickup time is derived from when you actually arrive.
The driver waits at the designated pick-up area at the terminal. We do not offer a meet-and-greet inside the terminal — we collect you kerbside at the designated pick-up point, which is quicker, and it is already in the fare. Waiting time and parking are already inside your $339, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
It is 138 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Avoca, and we allow 2 hr 19 min behind the wheel. 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.
Nobody is at their sharpest walking out of an arrivals hall. That is the argument for having the drive already solved rather than working it out at a taxi rank with luggage and a flat phone.
Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 21 are further from Sydney than Avoca and 32 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Moss Vale at 125 km and Glenquarry at 128 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 10 km longer than that.
A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.
| Hire Car | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Daily rate for the whole stay | $339 each way |
| Driving after a long flight | You, jet-lagged | Not you |
| Unfamiliar roads at night | Yes | No |
| Child seats | Hired, fitted by you | Free, fitted before we arrive |
| Parking at the other end | Your problem | Not applicable |
| Useful once you are here | Yes, if you are touring | Book each trip |
If you are staying a week and plan to drive around the region every day, hire a car — we would tell you that rather than take the booking. If you are here for a wedding, a weekend or a stay at one venue, a transfer in and out is usually cheaper and considerably less trouble.
Arriving luggage is heavier than departing luggage. Tell us the real number when you book and the right vehicle is waiting.
| Group Size | Vehicle | Luggage Allowance | One Way |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 passengers | Sedan or SUV | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $339 |
| 3–4 passengers | People Mover | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $369 |
| 5–6 passengers | People Mover | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $399 |
| 7–8 passengers | People Mover or 8-Seater | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $439 |
| 9–11 passengers | Minibus | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $479 |
Ships usually dock early and disembark in groups over two to three hours. Tell us your disembarkation group and we time the pickup to it; these examples then add the 2 hr 19 min drive to Avoca.
| Ship Docks | You Walk Out Around | Home By |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00am | 7:30am | 10:00am |
| 6:00am | 8:30am | 11:00am |
| 6:30am | 9:30am | 12:00pm |
| 7:00am | 10:30am | 1:00pm |
We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $339, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.
$339 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 138 km and takes about 2 hr 19 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
Yes. $339 each way, so a return is $678. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
Yes, free of charge. Tell us the children's ages when you book and the correct restraints are installed before we arrive, so you are not assembling a capsule at the kerb after a long flight.
We monitor your flight or ship and adjust. Waiting time and airport parking are already inside the fixed fare, so a delay does not change what you pay and we will still be there.
Up to eleven passengers in one vehicle, and every fare allows a check-in bag and a carry-on each. If you are arriving with more than that, say so when you book: extra bags are $5 each and bulky items $10 each.
Before. There are very few cars available in the Highlands at short notice and almost none at night, so arriving and hoping is the one approach that regularly fails. Booking costs nothing up front and can be cancelled without a fee.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
