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 20 min drive to Tahmoor.

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

The Drive Back into the Highlands

It is 80 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Tahmoor, and we allow 1 hr 20 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.

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.

Tahmoor is one of the closest suburbs we serve to Sydney — 2 of our 54 pickup points sit nearer the city, which is why the fare is at the lower end of our range. The nearest comparison points are Picton at 75 km and Couridjah at 82 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.

Arrivals

Meeting You 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 $235, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

An Honest Comparison

Do You Need a Car While You Are Here?

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 Tahmoor — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Tahmoor?

$235 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 80 km and takes about 1 hr 20 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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

About 1 hr 20 min for the 80 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 Tahmoor a little after 11:05am.

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.

Do you drive to Tahmoor 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.

Do you serve hotels and venues around Tahmoor?

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.
