No shared shuttle service operates from Joadja to the airport on a timetable. Our Joadja 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: $310 covers one to two passengers, and larger groups share one fare across one vehicle rather than paying per head.

A 10pm landing gets you home around 12:45am allowing for baggage. It is the $310 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.
Because the fare is built on the actual distance. Your run is 90 km, which works out at about $3.44 per kilometre. We publish all 54 suburb fares so you can see the logic rather than take our word for it.
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. We serve all 54 suburbs across the Southern Highlands, Wollondilly, Goulburn Mulwaree and Kangaroo Valley, and every one of them has its own published fare rather than a zone estimate.

About 2 hr 0 min for the 90 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.
