The Run

Getting You Out of Sydney

It is 102 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay to Yanderra, and we allow 1 hr 41 min behind the wheel. You're on the Wollondilly side of the Highlands, which is the closest corner of our service area to Sydney — the run down the Hume is short enough that a mid-morning flight doesn't need a pre-dawn start.

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, 47 are further from Sydney than Yanderra and 6 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Buxton at 88 km and Yerrinbool at 94 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Wollondilly corridor zone the typical run is 83 km; yours is 19 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.

Arrivals

How We Meet You

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 $275, 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 1 hr 41 min drive to Yanderra.

Ship DocksYou Walk Out AroundHome By
6:00am7:30am9:25am
6:00am8:30am10:25am
6:30am9:30am11:25am
7:00am10:30am12:25pm

We track the ship, so if disembarkation runs late the driver waits at no charge. The fare is $275, plus $20 before 6am, $10 after 8pm or $20 after 10pm.

Common Questions

Arriving in Yanderra — Before You Book

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

$275 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 102 km and takes about 1 hr 41 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

What if I am delayed?

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.

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.

How long does it take to get to Yanderra from the airport?

About 1 hr 41 min for the 102 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 Yanderra a little after 11:26am.

Is the fare the same going back to the Sydney cruise terminals?

Yes. $275 each way, so a return is $550. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.

Do you drive to Yanderra 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.
