Arrivals

Finding the Driver

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.

An Honest Comparison

Driving Yourself from the Airport

A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.

A hire car earns its keep when the car is the point. For a wedding weekend, a cruise turnaround or a stay at a single venue it mostly sits in a car park being paid for, and somebody still has to stay sober to drive it.

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 21 min drive to East Kangaloon.

Ship DocksYou Walk Out AroundHome By

6:00am8:30am11:05am

7:00am10:30am1:05pm

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.

The Run

The Road Home

It is 138 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to East Kangaloon, and we allow 2 hr 21 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, 20 are further from Sydney than East Kangaloon and 33 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.

Common Questions

Arriving in East Kangaloon — Before You Book

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

$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 21 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Is the fare the same going back to the Sydney cruise terminals?

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.

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.

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.
