Western Sydney International takes passengers. From the moment it does, arrivals into Robertson (the escarpment town in the rainforest belt, famous for its pie shop and its rainfall) are met the same way as everything else we drive: one fare, one vehicle, your name at the door.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets arriving passengers at Western Sydney International and drives them home to Robertson (NSW 2577) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. There is one terminal, so the driver meets you at the single terminal's pickup point and messages you once you land, and it is 101 km from the terminal to the Robertson shops on the Illawarra Highway, about 1 hr 35 min — 32 km shorter than the run home from Kingsford Smith, on a route with no tolls. The fare is $279 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $389 for eleven in one vehicle; the Sydney Airport fare from here is $309. We track the flight number, so a delay moves the pickup at no charge — a full hour of free waiting after an international landing and forty minutes after a domestic one. Nothing is payable in advance. Give us the flight and we are watching before you board. Quote on 0427 143 612.

The run home from Badgerys Creek costs what the run out costs: $279 one way for one or two passengers, with the same steps above that.

Delayed flights, holidays and a long wait at the belt do not change the price. Nothing is added afterwards. No prepayment, no card details on file. You settle it at the door. Fares reviewed August 2026.
A new airport is exactly when you want a booked car. The rank behaviour, the rideshare supply and the parking layout are all untested. Yours is not.
Waiting when you land
Passengers and bags decide the vehicle at booking, which is why the boot is never the problem when you land.
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

7–11 passengers
Toyota HiAce or similar
The difference is space, not service. All four come with tolls and GST in the fare, restraints fitted at no cost, flight tracking and payment on the day you travel to Robertson.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr 35 min for the 101 km from the terminal to the Robertson shops on the Illawarra Highway. Off the Hume at Sutton Forest, through Moss Vale and east on the Illawarra Highway. The rainforest section is wet more often than not and it is slower at night than any other stretch we drive.
The same drive home from Kingsford Smith is 133 km and about 2 hr 3 min, so landing at Badgerys Creek saves 32 km — and the route home carries no tolls, which is the part you notice at midnight.
Flying out rather than in? The leave-by times and departure fares are on the Robertson to Western Sydney Airport page.
Delays, diversions and late nights
A delayed flight is the normal case, not the exception, so the booking is built around the flight number rather than a clock time. Here is what happens in each situation.
Late is normal on long-haul, so the sheet updates itself from the flight number and the first sixty minutes after touchdown are on us.
A domestic landing gets forty minutes of included waiting, timed from the real arrival.
If the flight is cancelled or you are rebooked, one message moves the transfer. No money has changed hands, so nothing needs refunding.
One flight number sets the pickup, absorbs the delay and tells the driver when to leave for the terminal.
One hall, one meeting point
There is only one terminal at Badgerys Creek, which makes the meet simple: through the doors, your name on a card, and the luggage carried out to the vehicle.
Domestic arrivals get forty minutes rather than sixty, which is comfortably more than a domestic belt usually needs.
From the forecourt it is one uninterrupted run to your street. Properties along the highway and the side roads, most set back and unlit. In heavy rain the driver will confirm by phone rather than guess at a gate.
The other airport
Kingsford Smith is 133 km from Robertson and Badgerys Creek is 101 km. If your flight lands at the older airport instead, the arrival is met with the same free waiting and the same door drop, at that airport's own published fare.
about 2 hr 3 min · Hume, M5 and the airport tunnel
The return finishes on the Illawarra Highway through the rainforest, which is slower in the wet than any map allows for. Our Robertson timings are the most conservative in the Highlands, deliberately. Arrivals into Mascot are covered on the Sydney Airport to Robertson page.
about 1 hr 35 min · no tolls on our route
Still where the long-haul network is, and where most arrivals into this district land until the new airport's schedule fills out.
$279 from this airport; each airport has its own published fare. The arrival fare does not change with the terminal, the hour or the length of the delay — and there is no station access fee, because we drive you the whole way.
Get Free QuoteGetting home from a new terminal
Badgerys Creek is a new airport with no rail link to this district and no bus service to it. Standing in the hall at midnight is a bad time to discover that, so here are the options in advance.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $279 fixed | ~1 hr 35 min, door to door | met inside the single arrivals hall, luggage carried, a fixed published fare, straight to your door |
| Train or metro | Opal fares, and it goes the wrong way | not a realistic option | the airport metro runs north to St Marys, not south toward Robertson — you would finish further from home than you started |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 35 min if a car accepts | robertson has its own weather and it does not care what time your flight landed |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 35 min plus the car park shuttle | only works if you drove yourself out and left it there — and the car park layout at a brand-new airport is one more thing to work out after a long flight |
Rank behaviour, rideshare supply and parking rates at Western Sydney International will take months to settle. The honest summary for an arrival into Robertson: there is no public transport option home from this airport to this district, which is exactly why the booked car is the sensible answer.
Landing as a group
Eleven arriving passengers are met by one vehicle for $389 — about $35 a seat, against three separate cars at whatever the rank charges on the night. Extended families, sports teams and friends landing together all book this way.
Send the flight number, the headcount and the bag count when you book. If the group is split across two flights we can meet the later one and hold the vehicle, or run two pickups — tell us which you would prefer rather than deciding it in the arrivals hall.
The rank, honestly
Nobody knows yet how the rank at Badgerys Creek behaves when three flights land together. A booked driver is unaffected either way.
Metered and surge pricing on a run this long is decided by the traffic and the hour. Yours was agreed before you left home.
The airport metro runs to St Marys, not out here. Whatever else you choose, the last leg still needs a car.
Why book the arrival
The trip home is settled while you still have a keyboard and a signal, not while you are queuing with a trolley.
One terminal, one hall, one driver holding your name — a very different arrival from hunting a rank.
Sixty minutes after an international touchdown, forty after a domestic one, with no meter running.
Nothing is charged when you book and no card is held. There is no cancellation fee because there is nothing to refund.
Tell us the children's ages at booking and the restraints are installed before the vehicle leaves.
The last arrival of the night and Christmas morning are both normal shifts for a pre-booked car.

Arrival questions
Between $309 and $445, set by how many seats you need. The airport you landed at does not enter into it.
Past the arrivals doors, by name. The single-building layout makes this the simplest meet of any Sydney airport.
Roughly 1 hr 35 min to cover 101 km. The saving against the 133 km Mascot run is 12 km — and the untolled route is the part you notice at midnight.
No charge and no action needed. We watch the flight, the pickup shifts with it, and the free waiting only starts once the wheels are down.
Tell us the new flight number and the job moves with it, free of charge.
No. There is no deposit and no card held. You pay the driver at your door on the day of travel by card, cash or PayID, and we email a tax invoice afterwards if you want one.
Yes. One vehicle, your party only, terminal to door. Properties along the highway and the side roads, most set back and unlit. In heavy rain the driver will confirm by phone rather than guess at a gate.
The metro runs between St Marys and the terminal. It does not come anywhere near Robertson, so the last leg still needs a car, which is the trip you were trying to avoid.
Two things you cannot get at a rank: a known price on a 101 km run, and certainty that a car exists at all. Both matter more at an airport in its first year.
Eleven is the maximum in one vehicle, at $389 for the group. Split across two aircraft, we can wait for the second or send two vehicles — your choice.
All three types, included in the fare. The ages matter at booking so the right seats are already in the vehicle.
Every night of the year, including the last arrivals. Robertson has its own weather and it does not care what time your flight landed.
Bookings from that date are already open at the published fare.
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 133 km from here — meeting points, terminal by terminal, and the free waiting times are on the Sydney Airport to Robertson page.
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.
