You message from the terminal doors, we come in. Transfers from the cruise terminals out to Aylmerton — the village at the start of the Wombeyan Caves road, on the ridge north-west of Mittagong — with room for everything the holiday came home with.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets disembarking cruise passengers at both Sydney terminals and drives them home to Aylmerton (NSW 2575) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 109 km from the Aylmerton Road corner, about 1 hr 45 min; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 111 km, about 1 hr 49 min. The fare is $295 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $435 for eleven in one vehicle, and it matches the sail-day fare exactly. Disembarkation is released by luggage tag rather than a published time, so there is no booked minute to miss: you message from the terminal doors and the driver comes in, with no meter running while you queue. Nothing is payable in advance. Arrange it before you sail and there is nothing to do from a ship's wifi. Quote on 0427 143 612.
Fixed fare each way; pickups add $10
The run home is priced exactly like the run out: $295 one way for one or two passengers, with the same steps above that.

The fare does not move because the ship docked late, because the queue was long, or because it is a Sunday. Tolls and GST are inside it. No prepayment, no card details on file. You settle it when you arrive. Fares reviewed August 2026.
The fare was set before you sailed. Whatever the morning looks like at the terminal, the number does not move.
Waiting when you land
We size the vehicle before you sail, from the cases you are taking plus whatever the holiday adds.
01
1–2 passengers
Toyota Camry, Lexus or similar
02
3–4 passengers
Kia Carnival or similar
03
5–6 passengers
LDV G10 or similar
04
7–11 passengers
Toyota HiAce or similar
Same service in all four. Whichever class meets you, the fare covers tolls and GST, the child seats are free and already fitted, the waiting is not charged for, and nothing is payable before the drive to Aylmerton.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr 45 min for the 109 km from White Bay at Rozelle to the Aylmerton Road corner, and about 1 hr 49 min for the 111 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. The return is the Hume south with the ridge road at the end. Similar-looking entrances, so name and number together please.
Getting out of the terminal precinct is the slow part on disembarkation morning, not the motorway. Once past the Anzac Bridge the run usually clears, and the whole of that allowance is inside the fare rather than on a meter.
Sailing out rather than home? Boarding-window timing and the sail-day fare are on the Aylmerton cruise transfers page.
How the morning actually runs
A ship does not release everyone at once, so a cruise pickup cannot be booked to a minute. It is arranged around your message from the terminal doors instead. Here is how each part of the morning works.
No fixed pickup time and nothing to miss. The driver is nearby from early and waits for your word.
Ships arrive when they arrive. Waiting for one is part of the fare, not an extra on it.
Cancelled sailing or a changed itinerary? One message moves the booking. Nothing has been charged, so there is nothing to refund.
One message from the terminal doors is all it takes on the day.
Where we meet you
The driver stays close to the White Bay terminal and moves on your text. Nothing is charged for the wait.
The OPT sits right on the Quay with almost no waiting room, so we wait a street away and pull in when you are through.
Then it is a single drive to the door, with the cases handled at both ends. Ridge properties set back from the road, unlit, with similar-looking entrances. Name and number together, please.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 109 km from Aylmerton and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 111 km. Your cruise documents name the one your ship berths at; both are met on the same terms and at the same fare.
about 1 hr 45 min · Rozelle, via James Craig Rd
The return is the Hume south with the ridge road at the end. Similar-looking entrances, so name and number together please. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 1 hr 49 min · Circular Quay, tightest kerb of the two
The city terminal, right on the harbour, with almost no waiting room at the kerb — which is why the driver holds nearby and comes in on your message.
$295 from either terminal. Rozelle or Circular Quay, weekday or weekend, early release or late — the fare was set by your suburb and your group size.

A whole ship empties into one rank inside about two hours, and the luggage rules out most of the alternatives. Worth reading before you sail rather than while you are standing there.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $295 fixed | ~1 hr 45 min, door to door | a driver already nearby, no meter while you queue, and a price settled before you sailed |
| Train and a walk | Opal fares, plus a lift at the far end | 2 hrs or more, with the cases | White Bay has no station at all, and from Circular Quay it is a change and then still a car at the Aylmerton end — with a fortnight of luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 45 min if a car accepts | a small enough place that we usually already know the driveway from previous trips |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 45 min plus retrieving the car | neither terminal has long-stay parking, so it means a fortnight of inner-west parking fees and then finding the car with the cases |
Neither cruise terminal has long-stay parking of its own, and neither is reachable from Aylmerton without a car at one end. The honest summary: a solo traveller with a cabin bag can make the train from Circular Quay work; two people with a fortnight of luggage cannot.
Landing as a group
Eleven disembarking passengers travel home in one vehicle for $435 — about $40 a seat, against three cars from a rank an entire ship is queuing at. Everyone leaves together, which on that morning is worth more than the saving.
Send the ship, the date, the headcount and an honest bag count. Groups coming off a cruise routinely have more luggage than the seat count implies, and it is far better to know that now than at the terminal.
The rank, honestly
Disembarkation concentrates demand into about two hours, which is exactly when a rank cannot cope.
Nobody can tell you what a metered trip of this length will cost until it ends. Our figure was fixed at booking.
Cruise cases beat most boots. The vehicle we send was picked from your case count.
Why book the arrival
Nothing to arrange from a ship's wifi, and nothing to sort out in a terminal at seven in the morning.
No booked minute to miss, because disembarkation is released by luggage tag rather than a clock.
The driver waits nearby at no charge, however long customs takes.
No deposit and no card held; you pay the driver at your door.
A cruise comes back heavier than it left. The vehicle is chosen with that in mind.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters fitted in advance, at no cost.
The route home
From the terminal doors to your street: the usual run home to Aylmerton.

Sedans, Kia Carnivals, people movers and eleven-seat minibuses, chosen from your case count.
Every disembarkation, every hour — including weekends and public holidays.
One published price per suburb, the same at both terminals, with tolls and GST inside it; pickups from the terminal add $10. Nothing payable in advance.
Arrival questions
$295 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $435 for a full minibus. Terminal pickups add a set $10 fee; there is no weekend loading.
There is no fixed pickup time, because there is nothing reliable to fix it to. The driver is nearby from early and pulls in on your text.
No. The driver waits nearby at no charge, however long the hall takes. There is no meter on this booking and no waiting fee.
White Bay is 1 hr 45 min from home, Circular Quay 1 hr 49 min. Both are door-to-door figures.
Both, each with its own published fare. White Bay is at Rozelle and takes most of the shorter sailings; the Overseas Passenger Terminal is at Circular Quay and takes the larger international ships. Your cruise documents name it — from Aylmerton it is 109 km from White Bay and 111 km from the Quay.
Plenty, provided we know in advance. Duty free, gifts and a fortnight of washing all have to go somewhere, and a sedan that fitted you on the way out may not on the way back.
Nothing in advance. The fare is settled when you get home, which also means a changed itinerary costs you nothing.
Yes, the address you give us is where the trip ends. Ridge properties set back from the road, unlit, with similar-looking entrances. Name and number together, please.
On disembarkation morning, considerably. Two or three thousand passengers come off at once and a 109 km fare out to this district is one plenty of drivers would rather not take. A booked car is already there and already priced.
Yes — eleven passengers in one minibus for $435, about $40 a seat. With a full cruise load we will be straight with you about whether the luggage fits alongside the people.
All three types, free, and installed before the vehicle leaves for the terminal.
Realistically no. It is not the distance, it is doing it with a fortnight of luggage.
Both, and most people book them together. Boarding-window timing, terminal drop detail and the fare are on the Aylmerton cruise transfers page.
Several doors in the same town is an ordinary arrangement — tell us at booking and we plan the order.
Tell us and it moves at no cost. Nothing is charged in advance, so there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
Message us when you are actually out. Nothing before that matters, because the release order is by luggage tag and no one can predict it.
