Arrivals

Finding the Driver

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 $325, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

The Run

The Road Home

It is 138 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Canyonleigh, and we allow 1 hr 58 min behind the wheel. Down in the deep south and west of the region you're a genuine distance from Mascot — which is exactly why a fixed fare beats a meter that keeps ticking.

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, 9 are further from Sydney than Canyonleigh and 44 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Meryla at 135 km and Bundanoon at 140 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 58 min drive to Canyonleigh.

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?

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.

Common Questions

Arriving in Canyonleigh — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Canyonleigh?

$325 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 138 km and takes about 1 hr 58 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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.

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.

Should I book before I fly or sort it when I land?

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.

Do you drive to Canyonleigh 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. $325 each way, so a return is $650. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
