Timing

How Late is Too Late?

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 30 min drive to Mittagong.

9:15am domestic30 min11:15am

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.

The Run

What the Drive Involves

It is 104 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Mittagong, and we allow 1 hr 30 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.

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, 37 are further from Sydney than Mittagong and 16 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Willow Vale at 102 km and Welby at 106 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Central Highlands zone the typical run is 113 km; yours is 9 km shorter than that.

An Honest Comparison

Driving Yourself from the Airport

A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.

A hire car earns its keep when the car is the point. For a wedding weekend, a cruise turnaround or a stay at a single venue it mostly sits in a car park being paid for, and somebody still has to stay sober to drive it.

Arrivals

What Happens at the Terminal

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 $275, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

Common Questions

Arriving in Mittagong — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Mittagong?

$275 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 104 km and takes about 1 hr 30 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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.

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

About 1 hr 30 min for the 104 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 Mittagong a little after 11:15am.

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.

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.

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.
