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

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 |
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.
It is 164 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Tallong, and we allow 2 hr 37 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.
Coming home the pressure comes off, which is exactly when tiredness lands. The run into the Highlands is long enough that doing it yourself after a flight is a genuinely worse idea than it sounds.
Tallong is among the furthest points on our map: only 2 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.
Nothing about the arrival is left to chance. The ship is tracked, the driver is briefed with your name and number, and the meeting point is sent to your phone before the doors open.
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.
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 37 min drive to Tallong.
| Ship Docks | You Walk Out Around | Home By |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00am | 7:30am | 10:20am |
| 6:00am | 8:30am | 11:20am |
| 6:30am | 9:30am | 12:20pm |
| 7:00am | 10:30am | 1:20pm |
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.
$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 37 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.
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.
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.
We monitor your flight or ship and adjust. Waiting time and airport parking are already inside the fixed fare, so a delay does not change what you pay and we will still be there.
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.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
