It is 101 km from Braemar in the Wingecarribee Shire to Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot — all terminals, domestic and international, and in normal traffic we allow 1 hr 29 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.
Our price for this trip is $255 one way, locked in when you book. It covers tolls, fuel and GST, applies equally to pickups and drop-offs, and never surges.
Booking costs you nothing. We do not take a deposit and we do not keep your card details; payment happens at the end of the trip, not the start.
Worked back from the check-in cut-off, the 1 hr 29 min drive and a fifteen-minute buffer. These are the times we would suggest from Braemar; we confirm them with you when you book.

Worked as a rate, this run costs about $2.52 per kilometre against a network median of $2.42. We publish every suburb so you can check that logic yourself rather than take our word for it.

There is no scheduled airport shuttle bus running out of Braemar. What people usually mean by an airport shuttle here is a private door-to-door transfer, which is what we run: we collect you from your address rather than a stop, and the vehicle is yours alone.
Compared with a metered taxi from Braemar, the advantage is that you know the number before you get in. Compared with a shared shuttle, you are not waiting for other passengers or being dropped third. The fare is $255 either way.
Split between passengers, the Braemar run works out cheaper the more of you travel. Every tier allows one check-in bag and one carry-on each.

| 5–6 passengers | $315 | $52 – $63 | $630 |
| 7–8 passengers | $355 | $44 – $51 | $710 |
| 9–11 passengers | $405 | $37 – $45 | $810 |
All fares include tolls, fuel and GST. A return trip is twice the one-way fare.

Taxi and rideshare figures are indicative ranges for a run of this distance, not quotes. Ours is the only fixed number on that table.
$255 one way as a fixed fare for one to two passengers, tolls and GST included. A return trip is $510. Larger groups move up a vehicle tier and each tier has its own published price on this page.
About 1 hr 29 min for the 101 km run in normal conditions. We add time for weekday morning traffic and we plan backwards from your flight or ship time rather than from a fixed departure.
There is no cancellation fee, because nothing was charged up front. Let us know as early as you can so we can release the vehicle. For same-day changes, ring rather than email.
No. There is no deposit and we do not store your card. You pay the driver after drop-off, by cash, bank transfer or card (1.2% card surcharge), at the fare we confirmed in writing when you booked.
No, and we would rather be straight about it than invent a discount. A return is simply two one-way fares: $510 for one to two passengers. The advantage is that the price is fixed in both directions, including the leg home at midnight.
A 10pm landing gets you home around 12:14am allowing for baggage. It is the $255 fare plus $20 for a pickup after 10pm and $10 for an airport pickup. We track the flight, so if it lands late we are still there.
Up to eleven passengers in a single minibus, so a wedding party or a family group travels together on one fare instead of being split across cars that arrive at different times.
We wait at the terminal's designated pick-up point rather than inside the arrivals hall. We text you the exact spot before you land, and we monitor the flight so a delay costs you nothing.
No quote-by-phone games. Book in two minutes, or call and talk to a real person.
