An Honest Comparison

The Hire Car Question

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

What Happens When You Land

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 $315, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

Full detail on where we wait at each terminal.

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 7 min drive to Burradoo.

Ship DocksYou Walk Out AroundHome By
6:00am7:30am9:50am
6:00am8:30am10:50am
6:30am9:30am11:50am
7:00am10:30am12:50pm

We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $315, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.

The Run

What the Run Looks Like

It is 129 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Burradoo, and we allow 2 hr 7 min behind the wheel. You're in the heart of the Highlands, where the bulk of our early-morning international work comes from — we run this stretch of the Hume most days of the week.

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, 30 are further from Sydney than Burradoo and 23 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Bowral at 115 km and East Bowral at 118 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Central Highlands zone the typical run is 113 km; yours is 16 km longer than that.

Common Questions

Arriving in Burradoo — Before You Book

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

$315 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 129 km and takes about 2 hr 7 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Do you serve hotels and venues around Burradoo?

Yes, and we know most of them. Drop-offs at Highlands hotels, resorts and wedding venues are routine — see our venue pages for the ones we run most often.

Can you fit a child seat before we land?

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.

What if there are more of us than I booked for?

Ring us before the day if you can. The vehicle is allocated to the numbers you gave us, and turning up with three extra people and their bags is the one thing we cannot solve at the kerb.

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.

Do you drive to Burradoo 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.
