Land, clear customs, and the car is already there. A private fixed-fare run from Sydney Airport home to Douglas Park, a river village on the Nepean between Campbelltown and Picton, quiet and largely rural, booked before you fly and paid on the day you travel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets arriving passengers at Sydney Airport and drives them home to Douglas Park (NSW 2569) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. The driver waits in the P7 Rideshare Pickup Area at T1, or in the priority pickup area at T2 and T3, and the fare is $209 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $409 for eleven in one vehicle. It is 66 km from the terminal to the Douglas Park shops on Douglas Park Drive, about 1 hr 3 min. Because the booking follows your flight number rather than a stated time, delays cost nothing — sixty minutes of waiting is included at T1 and forty at T2 and T3, timed from the actual landing. Nothing is payable in advance. Arrange it when you book the flight and there is nothing left to organise on landing. Quote on 0427 143 612.
Fixed fare each way; pickups add $10
The homeward leg is the outbound fare plus a $10 pickup fee: $209 for a couple, with fixed steps up as the group grows.

The fare is set when you book and does not move for the date or the length of the queue at immigration. No card is taken when you book — the fare is due on the day of travel. Fares reviewed August 2026.
One booking, both directions. Most people book the arrival at the same time as the departure — fixed fare, same driver pool, one less thing to think about while you are away.
Waiting when you land
We size the vehicle to the group and the cases in advance, so nothing has to be worked out in the arrivals hall.

1–2 passengers
Toyota Camry, Lexus or similar
02
3–4 passengers
Kia Carnival or similar
03
5–6 passengers
LDV G10 or similar

Toyota HiAce or similar
The inclusions do not change with the vehicle. Every Douglas Park arrival carries tolls and GST inside the quoted fare, free child restraints fitted in advance, flight-number tracking and no payment until the day. Seats and boot space are the only difference between the four cards.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr 3 min for the 66 km from the terminal to the Douglas Park shops on Douglas Park Drive. Either down the Hume and back in, or south from Campbelltown on Douglas Park Drive. The second is shorter and the one we normally take at night, when the village roads are empty.
The drive home is generally quicker than the drive in. Sydney's congestion points inbound — and by mid-evening the westbound carriageway of the M5 East is doing what it was built to do.
If you are flying out rather than in, the leave-by times and departure fares are on the Douglas Park to Sydney Airport page.
Delays, diversions and late nights
The single reason arrival transfers go wrong is a booking made against a scheduled time. Ours is made against a flight number, and this is how that plays out when things move.
Late is normal on long-haul, so the sheet updates itself from the flight number and the first hour after touchdown at T1 is on us.
T2 and T3 carry forty minutes of free waiting from the moment the wheels touch, not from the scheduled time.
A diversion or a cancellation is a phone call, not a problem. We reschedule, and because there is no advance payment there is nothing to claw back.
One flight number does all the work here: it sets the pickup, absorbs the delay and tells the driver when to leave for the terminal.
Meeting points, terminal by terminal
The driver meets you inside the T1 arrivals hall, past the customs doors, with your name on a card — no hunting for a car park level or a pickup zone.
Domestic terminals have no arrivals hall to wait in, so the driver holds nearby and comes to the priority zone on your message.
Everything after that is one drive to your door — your party alone in the vehicle, and nowhere else to be. River-village streets, some unsealed at the edges, most unlit. Tell us if yours is one of the ones that floods — we will route around rather than test it.
The other airport
Once Western Sydney International is the closer terminal for much of this district, and we meet flights there with the same service at its own published fare.
about 48 min · toll-free on our route
Back down The Northern Road and into the village on unlit rural road. The station's first service is far too late for a morning flight and its last is far too early for an evening landing. Route detail on the Douglas Park to WSI page.
about 1 hr 3 min · Hume, M5 and tunnel
The default airport for this district today, with a driver inside the T1 hall and a priority-zone pickup at T2 and T3.
$209 from Sydney Airport, $169 from Western Sydney. Which terminal and how late the aircraft was make no difference; the pickup adds a set $10, plus $10–$20 after 8pm.

The arrivals hall, tired and holding a trolley, is the worst place to weigh this up. Do it now instead.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $209 fixed | ~1 hr 3 min, door to door | door-to-door in one vehicle, met inside the hall, at a number you already know |
| Train from the airport | Opal fares plus $18.61 station access fee each | 2 hrs or more, if it is running | the airport line to Central, a change, then the Southern Highlands service to Douglas Park — plus the $18.61 station access fee each, and only if you land early enough to catch it |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 3 min if a car accepts | The station shuts early and the village has nothing else |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 3 min plus the car park shuttle | only works if you drove yourself out and left the car there — and it means finding the car park shuttle after a long flight before you can start driving |
The station access fee is Transport for NSW's published charge for entering or leaving an airport rail station — check the current figure before you rely on it. The honest summary for an arrival into Douglas Park: rail can work in daylight with hand luggage, and stops working entirely once the flight is late, the bags are checked, or the last service has gone.
Landing as a group
Eleven arriving passengers are met by one vehicle for $409 — about $37 a seat, against three separate taxis from the rank at whatever the meter says. Work crews, wedding guests and families back from a long trip are the usual bookings.
Three things when you book: flight number, how many people, how many cases. If half the group is on a different aircraft, say so — we will either hold one vehicle for the later flight or send two, whichever suits you.
The rank, honestly
When three long-haul flights land together the rank moves slowly. A pre-booked car is unaffected by that entirely.
Nobody can tell you what a metered trip of this length will cost until it ends. Our figure was fixed at booking.
A fare this far out of the city is one some drivers would rather not take at midnight. Yours is already assigned.
Why book the arrival
One message before you leave home covers the whole return leg, which is the part travellers most often leave to chance.
The difference between a good arrival and a bad one is whether a person is standing there when the doors open.
Free waiting is measured from touchdown, so a slow bag belt or a long immigration queue costs nothing.
Booking costs nothing and holds nothing. The money changes hands at the end of the trip, by card, cash or PayID, and we email the invoice afterwards if you want the paperwork.
Ages at booking mean capsules and boosters are in the vehicle before it heads for the terminal, at no charge.
Public holidays are charged at the ordinary fare; set fees apply for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.

Seventy-five localities through Wollondilly Shire, the Macarthur district and the Southern Highlands.
Sedan, Kia Carnival, people mover and eleven-seat minibus — the class is set from your headcount at booking.
All hours, all year: the 1am arrival and Christmas morning are both ordinary shifts.
A published price per suburb for each destination, with tolls and GST inside it. Nothing payable in advance.
Arrival questions
A fixed $209 one way for one or two passengers, up to $409 for eleven in one vehicle. It is the outbound fare plus the $10 airport pickup fee — set fees apply for pickups before 6am or after 8pm, and there is no public-holiday surcharge.
International arrivals are a terminal pickup: your name on a card inside the T1 hall, just past the customs doors, and help with the luggage from there. Domestic is a text from the baggage belt and the vehicle in the priority pickup zone as you reach the door.
66 km, normally about 1 hr 3 min. You are driving away from Sydney's peak rather than into it, which is why the homeward leg tends to beat the outbound one on the same road.
No charge and no action needed from you. We watch the flight, the pickup shifts with it, and the free waiting allowance — an hour at T1, forty minutes at T2 and T3 — only starts once the wheels are actually down.
One message rebooks it. Since no money has changed hands and no card is held, there is nothing to refund and no fee to argue about.
Nothing is payable in advance and no card is stored. The fare is settled with the driver when you get home — card, cash or PayID — with an emailed invoice on request.
Yes, that is the whole point of it. River-village streets, some unsealed at the edges, most unlit. Tell us if yours is one of the ones that floods — we will route around rather than test it.
Honestly, sometimes. A solo traveller with a cabin bag arriving at 10am can do it. Two adults with checked luggage at 11pm cannot: the $18.61 access fee each, a change at Central and a last train that goes long before the last flight all count against it.
Two things: certainty of price on a 66 km run, and certainty that a car exists at all. Both disappear at the rank on a busy night, which is generally the night you are landing.
Yes. Nothing about the booking changes: $209, free waiting from touchdown, and no advance payment.
Yes — eleven arriving passengers and their luggage in one minibus for $409, about $37 a seat. If the group is split across two flights, tell us and we will either hold the vehicle or run two pickups.
Yes and no charge. Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters are fitted before departure for the airport, which is why the ages matter at booking rather than on the day.
Yes — pickups from 8pm to 10pm add $10, and after 10pm $20. The station shuts early and the village has nothing else.
Anything from twenty-four hours ahead is usually fine, though peak holiday periods fill earlier. Booking the arrival alongside the departure saves thinking about it twice.
Just message. The driver will either be nearby already or will tell you precisely how long — we would rather give you an honest fifteen minutes than an optimistic five.
