Route and Fare

The Route, End to End

Measured from Exeter in the Wingecarribee Shire, the run to Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot — all terminals, domestic and international is 131 km and takes 1 hr 53 min in ordinary conditions. Out through the southern and eastern Highlands the roads are quieter but the distance is real, so the pickup times matter more here than almost anywhere we serve.

That run is a flat $299 one way. No meter and no surge: just a $10 airport pickup fee and set fees for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.

There is no money up front at all. No deposit, no card on file, no cancellation charge. You pay the driver when the trip is done.

Shuttle, Taxi or Transfer

Exeter Airport Shuttle or Private Transfer?

Searching for a Exeter airport shuttle usually turns up shared services that run from Sydney suburbs, not from the Highlands. We fill that gap with a private transfer — same door-to-door convenience, no other passengers, no detours to drop them off.

Compared with a metered taxi from Exeter, 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 $299 either way.

Group Size and Vehicle

Group Size and the Fare

Split between passengers, the Exeter run works out cheaper the more of you travel. Every tier allows one check-in bag and one carry-on each.

Group SizeOne WayPer PersonReturn
1–2 passengers$299$150 – $299$598
3–4 passengers$329$82 – $110$658
5–6 passengers$359$60 – $72$718
7–8 passengers$399$50 – $57$798
9–11 passengers$445$40 – $49$890

All fares include tolls, fuel and GST. A return trip is twice the one-way fare.

Plan Your Pickup

When We Would Knock on the Door

Worked back from the check-in cut-off, the 1 hr 53 min drive and a fifteen-minute buffer. These are the times we would suggest from Exeter; we confirm them with you when you book.

6:20am domestic2:10am
6:45am international1:35am

How the Fare Is Set

Why the Price is What it Is

Of the 54 suburbs we serve, 15 are further from Sydney than Exeter and 38 are closer. That puts this run in the middle of our range. The nearest comparison points are Burrawang at 130 km and Robertson at 133 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits.

Worked as a rate, this run costs about $2.28 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.

Common Questions

Exeter Transfers — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Exeter to Sydney Airport?

$299 one way as a fixed fare for one to two passengers, tolls and GST included. A return trip is $598. Larger groups move up a vehicle tier and each tier has its own published price on this page.

Do I pay anything when I book?

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.

How long does the drive from Exeter take?

About 1 hr 53 min for the 131 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.

Why is Exeter $299 when other suburbs are different?

Because the fare is built on the actual distance. Your run is 131 km, which works out at about $2.28 per kilometre. We publish all 54 suburb fares so you can see the logic rather than take our word for it.

Do you supply baby and booster seats?

Yes, free, and we fit them before we arrive. Tell us the children's ages when you book. We do not charge for seats and we do not expect you to install them at the kerb.

Are you licensed?

We operate as an accredited NSW Point to Point transport provider, which is the licensing regime covering booked passenger services in New South Wales.

Is Western Sydney Airport closer to Exeter?

Yes, by 32 km and about 28 minutes each way. When WSI opens on 25 October 2026 the fare from Exeter will be $269 against $299 to Mascot, a saving of $30 per trip.

Can you take a group in one vehicle?

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.
