Landing at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay and heading for Mittagong? We track the ship, wait at the designated pick-up area at the terminal, and drive you the 116 km home for a fixed $315.
One-way fare. Tolls, fuel and GST included. We track your ship — delays cost you nothing. No deposit; you pay the driver after drop-off.
A private transfer from the Sydney cruise terminals to Mittagong in the Southern Highlands costs $315 one way for one to two passengers. The drive is 116 km and takes about 1 hr 55 min. We track your ship and wait at the designated pick-up area at the terminal, with waiting time and parking included. No deposit — you pay the driver after drop-off.
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 $315, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
It is 116 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Mittagong, and we allow 1 hr 55 min behind the wheel. You're in the heart of the Highlands, where the bulk of our early-morning international work comes from — we run this stretch of the Hume most days of the week.
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, 37 are further from Sydney than Mittagong and 16 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Willow Vale at 102 km and Welby at 106 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.
A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.
| Hire Car | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Daily rate for the whole stay | $315 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 |
The honest test is how many days you will actually drive. Touring the region daily? Hire the car. Staying put at one address and eating and drinking there? Two transfers will cost less than the hire, the fuel and the parking combined.
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 1 hr 55 min drive to Mittagong.
| Ship Docks | You Walk Out Around | Home By |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00am | 7:30am | 9:40am |
| 6:00am | 8:30am | 10:40am |
| 6:30am | 9:30am | 11:40am |
| 7:00am | 10:30am | 12:40pm |
We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $315, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.
$315 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 116 km and takes about 1 hr 55 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
About 1 hr 55 min for the 116 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 Mittagong a little after 11:40am.
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.
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. $315 each way, so a return is $630. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
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.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
