The Run

What the Drive Involves

It is 140 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Glenquarry, and we allow 2 hr 15 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.

Arriving is different from leaving. On the way out you are watching a check-in cut-off; on the way in you have already done the hard part and the only thing that matters is getting to a bed. That is easier in the back of a car than behind the wheel of one.

Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 19 are further from Sydney than Glenquarry and 34 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are East Kangaloon at 126 km and Burrawang at 130 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 12 km longer than that.

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 15 min drive to Glenquarry.

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

We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $335, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.

An Honest Comparison

Why Not Just Hire a Car?

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.

Arrivals

Finding Us When You Land

Your ship is monitored from departure. If it runs early we are early; if it runs three hours late we are still there, and you get a text before you land telling you exactly where to walk.

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 $335, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

Common Questions

Arriving in Glenquarry — Before You Book

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

$335 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 140 km and takes about 2 hr 15 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Do you serve hotels and venues around Glenquarry?

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.

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.

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.

Do you drive to Glenquarry 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.

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.
