A private transfer from Western Sydney Airport (WSI) at Badgerys Creek to Thirlmere, priced at $185 before you book. We are there when you walk out, however late you land.
One-way fare. Tolls, fuel and GST included. We track your flight — delays cost you nothing. No deposit; you pay the driver after drop-off.
A private transfer from Western Sydney Airport to Thirlmere in the Southern Highlands costs $185 one way for one to two passengers. The drive is 45 km and takes about 52 min. We track your flight and wait at the designated pick-up point at the terminal, with waiting time and parking included. No deposit — you pay the driver after drop-off.
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 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 $185, so a two-hour delay costs you nothing.
Arriving luggage is heavier than departing luggage. Tell us the real number when you book and the right vehicle is waiting.

It is 45 km from Western Sydney Airport (WSI) at Badgerys Creek to Thirlmere, and we allow 52 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.
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.
Thirlmere is one of the closest suburbs we serve to Sydney — 4 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 Couridjah at 82 km and Bargo at 86 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Wollondilly corridor zone the typical run is 83 km; yours is 38 km shorter than that.
The bit people underestimate is the gap between wheels down and walking out of the terminal. These allow for that, then the 52 min drive to Thirlmere.
| You Land At | Clearing the Terminal | Home By |

| 5:40am international | 55 min | 7:27am |
| 6:00am domestic | 30 min | 7:22am |
| 7:30am domestic | 30 min | 8:52am |

| 8:00pm international | 55 min | 9:47pm |
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.
A fair question, and sometimes the right answer.
| Hire Car | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Daily rate for the whole stay | $185 each way |
| Driving after a long flight | You, jet-lagged | Not you |
| Unfamiliar roads at night | Yes | No |
| Child seats | Hired, fitted by you | Free, fitted before we arrive |
| Parking at the other end | Your problem | Not applicable |
| Useful once you are here | Yes, if you are touring | Book each trip |
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.
$185 one way for one to two passengers, fixed before you travel, with tolls, fuel and GST included. The drive is 45 km and takes about 52 min. It is the same fare in either direction.
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.
Yes. $185 each way, so a return is $370. Most people arriving book the departure leg at the same time, since nothing is charged up front and there is no cancellation fee.
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.
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.
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.
Book before you fly and there is one less thing to solve when you land.
