A hire car earns its keep when the car is the point. For a wedding weekend, a cruise turnaround or a stay at a single venue it mostly sits in a car park being paid for, and somebody still has to stay sober to drive it.

Arrivals

What Happens at the Terminal

We track your flight from the moment it is scheduled, so the pickup moves with you rather than against you. Before you arrive you get a text with the driver's name, the vehicle and exactly where to walk to.

The driver waits at the designated pick-up point at the 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 $225, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.

The Run

From Terminal to Front Door

It is 69 km from Western Sydney Airport (WSI) at Badgerys Creek to Balaclava, and we allow 1 hr 3 min behind the wheel. Sitting at the northern end of the Highlands, you get one of the shorter runs to Mascot and the shortest of all to the new Western Sydney Airport once it opens.

The outbound trip is about not missing something. The inbound trip is about not having to think. Different problem, same fixed price, and on this leg the only thing you have to do is find the vehicle.

Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 39 are further from Sydney than Balaclava and 14 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Colo Vale at 100 km and Willow Vale at 102 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Hume North zone the typical run is 99 km; yours is 30 km shorter than that.

Timing

When You Will Actually Get Home

The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 1 hr 3 min drive to Balaclava.

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.

Common Questions

Arriving in Balaclava — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Western Sydney Airport to Balaclava?

$225 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 69 km and takes about 1 hr 3 min. It is the same fare in either direction.

Where do you meet me at Western Sydney Airport?

At the designated pick-up point at the terminal, not inside the arrivals hall. We text you the exact spot before you arrive, along with the driver's name and the vehicle.

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

About 1 hr 3 min for the 69 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 Balaclava a little after 10:48am.

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.

Is the fare the same going back to Western Sydney Airport?

Yes. $225 each way, so a return is $450. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
