From Paddys River in the Wingecarribee Shire, you are looking at 118 km and roughly 2 hr 5 min of driving to reach Western Sydney Airport (WSI) at Badgerys Creek, opening 25 October 2026. Down in the deep south and west of the region you're a genuine distance from Mascot — which is exactly why a fixed fare beats a meter that keeps ticking.
$325 one way, and that is the whole number. Tolls and GST are inside it, the hour of the day does not change it, and nothing is added at the terminal.
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.
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 22 km shorter than that.
Worked as a rate, this run costs about $2.75 per kilometre against a network median of $2.97. We publish every suburb so you can check that logic yourself rather than take our word for it.
We will tell you when we are not the cheapest. This is the real picture for the 118 km run out of Paddys River.
