Arrivals

Finding Us 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 $235, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

The Run

What the Drive Involves

It is 75 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Picton, and we allow 1 hr 13 min behind the wheel. You're on the Wollondilly side of the Highlands, which is the closest corner of our service area to Sydney — the run down the Hume is short enough that a mid-morning flight doesn't need a pre-dawn start.

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.

Picton is one of the closest suburbs we serve to Sydney — 1 of our 54 pickup points sit nearer the city, which is why the fare is at the lower end of our range. Within the Wollondilly corridor zone the typical run is 83 km; yours is 8 km shorter than that.

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 13 min drive to Picton.

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

Why Not Just Hire a Car?

A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.

The honest test is how many days you will actually drive. Touring the region daily? Hire the car. Staying put at one address and eating and drinking there? Two transfers will cost less than the hire, the fuel and the parking combined.

Common Questions

Arriving in Picton — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Picton?

$235 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 75 km and takes about 1 hr 13 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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.

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.

Is the fare the same going back to Sydney Airport?

Yes. $235 each way, so a return is $470. 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 serve hotels and venues around Picton?

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.

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.
