What is the fare home from Western Sydney International to Colo Vale?
Between $225 and $335, set by how many seats you need. The airport you landed at does not enter into it.
Where will the driver be waiting?
In the arrivals hall, holding a card with your name, and the cases are carried out to the vehicle from there. One terminal means one place to look.
What is the drive time from Badgerys Creek to Colo Vale?
68 km, normally around 1 hr. That is 32 km shorter than the run home from Kingsford Smith, and it skips the M5 East entirely.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
It costs you nothing. The booking is tied to the flight number rather than a time you nominated, so the driver simply leaves later. Sixty minutes of free waiting after an international landing, forty after a domestic one.
Is there a cancellation fee?
One message rebooks it. No money has changed hands and no card is held, so a cancellation costs you nothing.
Is a deposit required?
No, and no pre-authorisation either. Payment happens at the end of the trip, however you prefer to pay.
Do you drop right at the address?
Yes, that is the whole point of it. Long village, addresses spread over several kilometres of the old highway. The number matters more here than in most places because the street is so long.
Could I get from Badgerys Creek on public transport?
Not to this district. A metro serves the airport from St Marys, which is the wrong direction for Colo Vale — you would end up further from home than when you started, with your luggage.
Is it worth pre-booking at a brand-new airport?
At a brand-new airport, more than usually. Nobody knows yet how the rank will behave when several flights land together, and a 68 km fare out to this district is one plenty of drivers would rather not take. A booked car is already waiting and already priced.
Do you have something big enough for eleven arriving passengers?
One eleven-seat minibus takes the lot for $335, which is well under what three separate cars would cost.
Do you charge for child restraints?
All three types, included in the fare. The ages matter at booking so the right seats are already in the vehicle.
Do you run late at night?
Yes — pickups from 8pm to 10pm add $10, and after 10pm $20. Colo Vale is a commuter village, so a lot of what we bring back are people returning from work trips on the last flight of the evening.
When does Western Sydney Airport open?
Bookings from that date are already open at the published fare.
Do you also meet flights at Sydney Airport?
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 100 km from here — meeting points, terminal by terminal, and the free waiting times are on the Sydney Airport to Colo Vale page.
How far ahead should I book the arrival?
Twenty-four to forty-eight hours is comfortable, and further ahead over school holidays and Christmas. For the airport's opening weeks, earlier is better.
Which other localities nearby do you cover?
Aylmerton, Alpine, Braemar, Willow Vale and the rest of the district — all 75 suburbs across Wollondilly Shire, Macarthur and the Southern Highlands, each with its own published arrival fare.
