Timing

When You Will Actually Get Home

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 26 min drive to Buxton.

6:00am domestic30 min7:56am

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.

An Honest Comparison

Do You Need a Car While You Are Here?

A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.

If you are staying a week and plan to drive around the region every day, hire a car — we would tell you that rather than take the booking. If you are here for a wedding, a weekend or a stay at one venue, a transfer in and out is usually cheaper and considerably less trouble.

Arrivals

Meeting You at the Terminal

We track your flight from the moment it is scheduled, so the pickup moves with you rather than against you. Before you arrive you get a text with the driver's name, the vehicle and exactly where to walk to.

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 $235, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

The Run

What the Run Looks Like

It is 88 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Buxton, and we allow 1 hr 26 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.

The outbound trip is about not missing something. The inbound trip is about not having to think. Different problem, same fixed price, and on this leg the only thing you have to do is find the vehicle.

Buxton is one of the closest suburbs we serve to Sydney — 6 of our 54 pickup points sit nearer the city, which is why the fare is at the lower end of our range. The nearest comparison points are Bargo at 86 km and Yanderra at 90 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.

Common Questions

Arriving in Buxton — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Buxton?

$235 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 88 km and takes about 1 hr 26 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Do you take groups with a lot of luggage?

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.

Can you stop on the way?

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.

Where do you meet me at Sydney Airport?

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.

Is the fare the same going back to Sydney Airport?

Yes. $235 each way, so a return is $470. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.

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

About 1 hr 26 min for the 88 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 Buxton a little after 11:11am.
