Timing

When You Will Actually Get Home

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 40 min drive to Bullio.

Ship DocksYou Walk Out AroundHome By
6:00am7:30am10:25am
6:00am8:30am11:25am
6:30am9:30am12:25pm
7:00am10:30am1:25pm

We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $365, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.

The Run

From Terminal to Front Door

It is 157 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Bullio, and we allow 2 hr 40 min behind the wheel. Down in the deep south and west of the region you're a genuine distance from Mascot — which is exactly why a fixed fare beats a meter that keeps ticking.

Coming home the pressure comes off, which is exactly when tiredness lands. The run into the Highlands is long enough that doing it yourself after a flight is a genuinely worse idea than it sounds.

Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 7 are further from Sydney than Bullio and 46 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Bundanoon at 140 km and Penrose at 147 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Deep South & West zone the typical run is 140 km; yours is 17 km longer than that.

An Honest Comparison

Transfer or Rental Car?

A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.

The honest test is how many days you will actually drive. Touring the region daily? Hire the car. Staying put at one address and eating and drinking there? Two transfers will cost less than the hire, the fuel and the parking combined.

Arrivals

The Arrival, Step by Step

Nothing about the arrival is left to chance. The ship is tracked, the driver is briefed with your name and number, and the meeting point is sent to your phone before the doors open.

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 $365, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

Common Questions

Arriving in Bullio — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from the Sydney cruise terminals to Bullio?

$365 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 157 km and takes about 2 hr 40 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Can you stop on the way?

Yes, tell us when you book. A supermarket stop on the way in is a common request after a long trip. An extra stop is requoted before travel rather than added to the bill afterwards.

Should I book before I fly or sort it when I land?

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.

Do you take groups with a lot of luggage?

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.

Do you drive to Bullio at night?

Seven days, twenty-four hours, at the same fare. Late arrivals are a large share of what we do, because the flights that land after ten at night are exactly the ones with no other way home.

Where do you meet me at the Sydney cruise terminals?

At the designated pick-up area at the terminal, not inside the arrivals hall. We text you the exact spot before you arrive, along with the driver's name and the vehicle.
