Arrivals

How We Meet You

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.

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 34 min drive to Marulan.

Ship DocksYou Walk Out AroundHome By
6:00am7:30am10:15am
6:00am8:30am11:15am
6:30am9:30am12:15pm
7:00am10:30am1:15pm

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.

The Run

The Run into the Highlands

It is 170 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Marulan, and we allow 2 hr 34 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.

Marulan is among the furthest points on our map: only 0 of our 54 suburbs sit further from Sydney, and the fare reflects a genuinely long run rather than a short hop. Within the Goulburn bridge & Kangaroo Valley zone the typical run is 152 km; yours is 18 km longer than that.

An Honest Comparison

Transfer or Rental 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.

Common Questions

Arriving in Marulan — Before You Book

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

$395 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 170 km and takes about 2 hr 34 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Do you drive to Marulan 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.

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.

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 take groups with a lot of luggage?

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.

Can you stop on the way?

Yes, tell us when you book. A supermarket stop on the way in is a common request after a long trip. An extra stop is requoted before travel rather than added to the bill afterwards.
