Arrivals

What Happens When You Land

Your flight is monitored from departure. If it runs early we are early; if it runs three hours late we are still there, and you get a text before you land telling you exactly where to walk.

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.

Timing

Working Out Your Arrival

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 43 min drive to East 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.

An Honest Comparison

The Hire Car Question

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.

The Run

The Road Home

It is 118 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to East Bowral, and we allow 1 hr 43 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.

Arriving is different from leaving. On the way out you are watching a check-in cut-off; on the way in you have already done the hard part and the only thing that matters is getting to a bed. That is easier in the back of a car than behind the wheel of one.

Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 29 are further from Sydney than East Bowral and 24 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Burradoo at 117 km and Sutton Forest at 119 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.

Common Questions

Arriving in East Bowral — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to East Bowral?

$275 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 118 km and takes about 1 hr 43 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.

Do you drive to East 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.

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.

How long does it take to get to East Bowral from the airport?

About 1 hr 43 min for the 118 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 East Bowral a little after 11:28am.
