What the Trip Involves

The Route, End to End

From Picton in the Wollondilly Shire, you are looking at 75 km and roughly 1 hr 13 min of driving to reach Sydney Airport (SYD) at Mascot — all terminals, domestic and international. 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.

The fare is $235 one way and it does not move. That figure includes tolls, fuel and GST. Collecting you from the terminal adds $10, and pickups before 6am or after 8pm have a small set fee.

You do not pay anything up front. No deposit, no stored card, and no fee if your plans change. The driver takes payment after drop-off.

How the Fare Is Set

Why the Price is What it Is

Picton is one of the closest suburbs we serve to Sydney — 1 of our 54 pickup points sit nearer the city, which is why the fare is at the lower end of our range. Within the Wollondilly corridor zone the typical run is 83 km; yours is 8 km shorter than that.

Worked as a rate, this run costs about $3.13 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.

When We Would Knock on the Door

Worked back from the check-in cut-off, the 1 hr 13 min drive and a fifteen-minute buffer. These are the times we would suggest from Picton; we confirm them with you when you book.

Group Size and Vehicle

What it Costs for Your Group

Split between passengers, the Picton 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$235$118 – $235$470
3–4 passengers$260$65 – $87$520
5–6 passengers$280$47 – $56$560
7–8 passengers$305$38 – $44$610

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

Shuttle, Taxi or Transfer

Shuttle, Taxi or Private Transfer from Picton?

Searching for a Picton 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 Picton, 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 $235 either way.

Common Questions

Picton Transfers — Before You Book

How much is a transfer from Picton to Sydney Airport?

$235 one way as a fixed fare for one to two passengers, tolls and GST included. A return trip is $470. Larger groups move up a vehicle tier and each tier has its own published price on this page.

Do you do early-morning runs out of Picton every day?

Yes. Pre-dawn departures are the bulk of our work, seven days. A 1:27am pickup is a normal booking for us: the $235 fare plus our $20 early-pickup fee (any pickup before 6am).

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.

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.

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.

What time would you collect me in Picton for a 6am international flight?

Around 1:30am. That allows three hours for international check-in, 1 hr 13 min of driving and a fifteen-minute buffer. The fare is the standard $235, plus our $20 early-pickup fee for any pickup before 6am.

Do you meet us inside the terminal?

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.

What about a late arrival back into Picton?

A 10pm landing gets you home around 11:58pm allowing for baggage. It is the $235 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.
