A private transfer from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Paddys River, priced at $355 before you book. We are there when you walk out, however late you land.
One-way fare. Tolls, fuel and GST included. We track your flight — delays cost you nothing. No deposit; you pay the driver after drop-off.
A private transfer from Sydney Airport to Paddys River in the Southern Highlands costs $355 one way for one to two passengers. The drive is 150 km and takes about 2 hr 33 min. We track your flight and wait at the designated pick-up point outside your terminal, with waiting time and parking included. No deposit — you pay the driver after drop-off.
The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 2 hr 33 min drive to Paddys River.
| You Land At | Clearing the Terminal | Home By |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00am domestic | 30 min | 9:03am |
| 7:30am domestic | 30 min | 10:33am |
| 9:15am domestic | 30 min | 12:18pm |
| 11:00am domestic | 30 min | 2:03pm |
| 4:00pm domestic | 30 min | 7:03pm |
| 9:45pm international | 55 min | 1:13am |
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.
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 $355, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
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.

It is 150 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Paddys River, and we allow 2 hr 33 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.
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.
Paddys River is among the furthest points on our map: only 3 of our 54 suburbs sit further from Sydney, and the fare reflects a genuinely long run rather than a short hop. The nearest comparison points are Barrengarry at 148 km and Tallong at 152 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Deep South & West zone the typical run is 140 km; yours is 10 km longer than that.
$355 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 150 km and takes about 2 hr 33 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
About 2 hr 33 min for the 150 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 Paddys River a little after 12:18pm.
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.
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.
Yes. $355 each way, so a return is $710. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
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.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
