Arrivals

Meeting You at the Terminal

We watch the flight rather than the clock. That is the whole difference between a booked transfer and hoping something is waiting outside: the pickup time is derived from when you actually arrive.

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 $275, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

The Run

The Drive Back into the Highlands

It is 106 km from Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot to Welby, and we allow 1 hr 35 min behind the wheel. You're in the heart of the Highlands, where the bulk of our early-morning international work comes from — we run this stretch of the Hume most days of the week.

Nobody is at their sharpest walking out of an arrivals hall. That is the argument for having the drive already solved rather than working it out at a taxi rank with luggage and a flat phone.

Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 36 are further from Sydney than Welby and 17 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Mittagong at 104 km and Renwick at 107 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Central Highlands zone the typical run is 113 km; yours is 7 km shorter than that.

Timing

Landing Time to Front Door

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 35 min drive to Welby.

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

Hire Car or Transfer?

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.

Common Questions

Arriving in Welby — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Sydney Airport to Welby?

$275 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 106 km and takes about 1 hr 35 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

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.

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.

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.

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 Welby 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.
