Common questions

Good to know.

Is a shuttle cheaper than a taxi to Sydney Airport?

On a 200 km-plus run a meter is unpredictable and usually lands well above a fixed fare. Ours is set when you book, with tolls and airport charges included.

Will a taxi do a pre-dawn airport run from here?

Few will at 2 or 3am. We do early starts as standard, with the driver and vehicle confirmed the day before.

Are tolls and airport charges included?

Yes — they are inside the fixed fare. A taxi adds them on top of the meter.

Is there a late-night surcharge?

Not with us. The fare is the same whatever the hour.
