The Run

Getting You Out of Sydney

It is 147 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Penrose, and we allow 2 hr 22 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.

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, 6 are further from Sydney than Penrose and 47 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Bullio at 145 km and Barrengarry at 148 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 7 km longer than that.

An Honest Comparison

Driving Yourself from the Airport

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.

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 2 hr 22 min drive to Penrose.

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.

Arrivals

How We Meet You

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 $339, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

Common Questions

Arriving in Penrose — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Penrose?

$339 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 147 km and takes about 2 hr 22 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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.

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.

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

About 2 hr 22 min for the 147 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 Penrose a little after 12:07pm.

What if I am delayed?

We monitor your flight or ship and adjust. Waiting time and airport parking are already inside the fixed fare, so a delay does not change what you pay and we will still be there.

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.
