You message from the terminal doors, we come in. Transfers from the cruise terminals out to Elderslie — the newer residential grid between Camden and the river, and one of the cheapest fares in the whole shire — 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 Elderslie (NSW 2570) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 61 km from the Elderslie shops on Camden Valley Way, about 52 min; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 63 km, about 57 min. The fare is $209 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $309 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. Send the ship and the date; we do the rest from your message on the morning. Quote on 0427 143 612.

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 Elderslie.
The drive home
Allow about 52 min for the 61 km from White Bay at Rozelle to the Elderslie shops on Camden Valley Way, and about 57 min for the 63 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. The return is straightforward once the harbour is behind you. Newer estate streets at the end, so if you are on one of the recent releases give us the cross street.
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 Elderslie 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. Newer estate streets with clear numbering. The only thing worth flagging is if you are on one of the very recent releases, where the map may not have caught up.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 61 km from Elderslie and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 63 km. Your cruise documents name the one your ship berths at; both are met on the same terms and at the same fare.
about 52 min · Rozelle, via James Craig Rd
The return is straightforward once the harbour is behind you. Newer estate streets at the end, so if you are on one of the recent releases give us the cross street. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 57 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.
$209 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.
Get Free QuoteGetting home from the harbour
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) | $209 fixed | ~52 min, door to door | met at the terminal doors on your message, luggage carried, one fixed fare, straight home |
| 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 Elderslie end — with a fortnight of luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~52 min if a car accepts | elderslie skews young and travels in school holidays, which means a lot of our arrivals here land in the evening with several children asleep in the back |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~52 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 Elderslie 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 $309 — about $28 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
Two minutes at home saves the worst hour of the trip back.
Ships release by tag colour over a couple of hours, so we work off your word instead.
Customs, the hall and the queue for the lift are all free time on this booking.
Card, cash or PayID when you get home, with an invoice by email if you want one.
Duty free, gifts and a fortnight of washing all have to fit somewhere.
Capsules and boosters installed in advance.
The route home
From the terminal doors to your street: the usual run home to Elderslie.

Arrival questions
A fixed $209 one way for one or two passengers, up to $309 for eleven in one vehicle. It is the sail-day fare plus the $10 terminal pickup fee, and any time-of-day fee.
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.
61 km and roughly 52 min from Rozelle; 63 km and about 57 min from the Quay. Once past the Anzac Bridge it usually runs clean.
We meet ships at both. Rozelle is 61 km from Elderslie; Circular Quay is 63 km. If the paperwork is not clear, send it to us and we will work out which.
Tell us the bags when you book and we size the vehicle to them. On a disembarkation run the luggage usually outranks the passenger count.
No. Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held. You pay the driver at your door on the day, by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed afterwards if you want one.
Yes, the address you give us is where the trip ends. Newer estate streets with clear numbering. The only thing worth flagging is if you are on one of the very recent releases, where the map may not have caught up.
Two things a rank cannot give you: a boot chosen for cruise luggage, and a known price on a long run out of the city.
Eleven is the maximum in one vehicle at $309. Groups off a ship usually have more luggage than the seat count suggests, so mention the cases at booking.
Yes and no charge — the ages matter at booking so the right seats are already in the car.
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 Elderslie cruise transfers page.
Within one suburb, yes, at the same price. Spread across the district we would rather quote it properly.
No fee. We move it to the new date and the fare stays the same.
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.
