It is 135 km from Meryla in the Wingecarribee Shire to Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot — all terminals, domestic and international, and in normal traffic we allow 1 hr 55 min behind the wheel. 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.
Our price for this trip is $329 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 55 min drive and a fifteen-minute buffer. These are the times we would suggest from Meryla; we confirm them with you when you book.

Worked as a rate, this run costs about $2.44 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.

For a group it is usually cheaper than shuttle seats anyway: $329 covers one to two passengers, and larger groups share one fare across one vehicle rather than paying per head.
