A private transfer from Sydney Airport to Balmoral Village in the Southern Highlands costs $255 one way for one to two passengers. The drive is 96 km and takes about 1 hr 32 min.

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 32 min drive to Balmoral Village.
| You Land At | Clearing the Terminal | Home By |
|---|---|---|

| 11:00am domestic | 30 min | 1:02pm |

Late arrivals cost the same as midday ones. An 11:15pm landing is a normal booking for us: pickups after 8pm add $10, after 10pm $20, plus $10 for an airport pickup.
A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.
| Hire Car | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Daily rate for the whole stay | $255 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 96 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Balmoral Village, and we allow 1 hr 32 min behind the wheel. Sitting at the northern end of the Highlands, you get one of the shorter runs to Mascot and the shortest of all to the new Western Sydney Airport once it opens.
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.
Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 45 are further from Sydney than Balmoral Village and 8 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Yerrinbool at 94 km and Alpine at 98 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.
Nothing about the arrival is left to chance. The flight 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 point outside your 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 $255, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
Arriving luggage is heavier than departing luggage. Tell us the real number when you book and the right vehicle is waiting.

$255 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 96 km and takes about 1 hr 32 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
At the designated pick-up point outside your 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. $255 each way, so a return is $510. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
About 1 hr 32 min for the 96 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 Balmoral Village a little after 11:17am.
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.
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.
