An Honest Comparison

Driving Yourself from the Airport

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.

The Run

The Drive Back into the Highlands

It is 115 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Bowral, and we allow 1 hr 40 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, 31 are further from Sydney than Bowral and 22 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are New Berrima at 114 km and Burradoo at 117 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.

Timing

Landing Time to Front Door

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 40 min drive to Bowral.

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.

Arrivals

Meeting You at the Terminal

We watch the flight 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 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 $275, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

Common Questions

Arriving in Bowral — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Bowral?

$275 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 115 km and takes about 1 hr 40 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.

What if there are more of us than I booked for?

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.

Do you serve hotels and venues around Bowral?

Yes, and we know most of them. Drop-offs at Highlands hotels, resorts and wedding venues are routine — see our venue pages for the ones we run most often.

Do you drive to Bowral 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.

Is the fare the same going back to Sydney Airport?

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.
