A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.
| Hire Car | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Daily rate for the whole stay | $380 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 |
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.
We track your ship from the moment it is scheduled, so the pickup moves with you rather than against you. Before you arrive you get a text with the driver's name, the vehicle and exactly where to walk to.
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 $380, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
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 53 min drive to Joadja.
| Ship Docks | You Walk Out Around | Home By |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00am | 7:30am | 10:35am |
| 6:00am | 8:30am | 11:35am |
| 6:30am | 9:30am | 12:35pm |
| 7:00am | 10:30am | 1:35pm |
We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $380, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.
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 | $380 |
| 3–4 passengers | People Mover | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $410 |
| 5–6 passengers | People Mover | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $440 |
| 7–8 passengers | People Mover or 8-Seater | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $480 |
| 9–11 passengers | Minibus | 1 check-in bag + 1 carry-on each | $520 |
It is 134 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Joadja, and we allow 2 hr 53 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.
The outbound trip is about not missing something. The inbound trip is about not having to think. Different problem, same fixed price, and on this leg the only thing you have to do is find the vehicle.
Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 23 are further from Sydney than Joadja and 30 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Mandemar at 120 km and Moss Vale at 125 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 6 km shorter than that.
$380 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 134 km and takes about 2 hr 53 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
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.
About 2 hr 53 min for the 134 km run in normal conditions, plus however long you take to clear the terminal. Landing at 9:15am you would typically be at your door in Joadja a little after 12:38pm.
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.
Yes. $380 each way, so a return is $760. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
