The Run

Getting You Out of Sydney

It is 152 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Tallong, and we allow 2 hr 12 min behind the wheel. You're at the far edge of our map, past the Goulburn bridge or down in Kangaroo Valley. Long run, but the fare is still published up front and still fixed before you book.

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.

Tallong is among the furthest points on our map: only 2 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 Paddys River at 150 km and Marulan at 158 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.

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 2 hr 12 min drive to Tallong.

5:40am international55 min8:47am

11:15pm international55 min2:22am

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

Finding the Driver

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 $355, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

An Honest Comparison

Do You Need a Car While You Are Here?

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.

Common Questions

Arriving in Tallong — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Tallong?

$355 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 152 km and takes about 2 hr 12 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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.

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. $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.

Do you drive to Tallong 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.
