Arriving luggage is heavier than departing luggage. Tell us the real number when you book and the right vehicle is waiting.

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 46 min drive to Kangaroo Valley.
| Ship Docks | You Walk Out Around | Home By |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00am | 7:30am | 10:30am |
| 6:00am | 8:30am | 11:30am |
| 6:30am | 9:30am | 12:30pm |
| 7:00am | 10:30am | 1:30pm |
We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $395, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.
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 $395, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.
| Hire Car | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Daily rate for the whole stay | $395 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.
It is 164 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Kangaroo Valley, and we allow 2 hr 46 min behind the wheel. You're at the far edge of our map, past the Goulburn bridge or down in Kangaroo Valley. Long run, but the fare is still published up front and still fixed before you book.
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.
Kangaroo Valley is among the furthest points on our map: only 1 of our 54 suburbs sit further from Sydney, and the fare reflects a genuinely long run rather than a short hop. The nearest comparison points are Paddys River at 150 km and Marulan at 158 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Goulburn bridge & Kangaroo Valley zone the typical run is 152 km; yours is 12 km longer than that.
$395 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 164 km and takes about 2 hr 46 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
