No shared shuttle service operates from Paddys River to the airport on a timetable. Our Paddys River airport shuttle is a private car or van booked for your trip only, picking up at your door at the time your flight actually requires.
For a group it is usually cheaper than shuttle seats anyway: $355 covers one to two passengers, and larger groups share one fare across one vehicle rather than paying per head.
Paddys River is among the furthest points on our map: only 3 of our 54 suburbs sit further from Sydney, and the fare reflects a genuinely long run rather than a short hop. The nearest comparison points are Barrengarry at 148 km and Tallong at 152 km, so if you have been quoted for one of those you already know roughly where this sits. Within the Deep South & West zone the typical run is 140 km; yours is 10 km longer than that.
Worked as a rate, this run costs about $2.37 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.
Split between passengers, the Paddys River run works out cheaper the more of you travel. Every tier allows one check-in bag and one carry-on each.

$355 one way as a fixed fare for one to two passengers, tolls and GST included. A return trip is $710. Larger groups move up a vehicle tier and each tier has its own published price on this page.
A 10pm landing gets you home around 1:18am allowing for baggage. It is the $355 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.
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.
Yes. Pre-dawn departures are the bulk of our work, seven days. A 12:07am pickup is a normal booking for us: the $355 fare plus our $20 early-pickup fee (any pickup before 6am).
No, and we would rather be straight about it than invent a discount. A return is simply two one-way fares: $710 for one to two passengers. The advantage is that the price is fixed in both directions, including the leg home at midnight.
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.
We operate as an accredited NSW Point to Point transport provider, which is the licensing regime covering booked passenger services in New South Wales.
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.
