A private, door-to-door airport shuttle for Avon — the catchment country around Avon Dam, where the road ends at a locked gate and the bush takes over. One fixed fare covers Sydney Airport, Western Sydney Airport and both cruise terminals: no meter, no surge, and no advance payment.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle runs private, door-to-door transfers from Avon (NSW 2574, Wollondilly Shire) to Sydney Airport, Western Sydney Airport, the Overseas Passenger Terminal and White Bay Cruise Terminal. The fare is fixed before you travel: $259 one way for one or two passengers, up to $449 for a group of eleven in one minibus, with tolls, GST, luggage and child seats included. Sydney Airport is 75 km from Avon (about 1 hr 2 min); Western Sydney Airport is closer at 64 km (about 49 min). A fixed fare applies to each airport and to the cruise terminals, and hotel pickups cost what a home pickup does. Book on 0427 143 612 — no advance payment is required, you pay on the day of travel.
Fixed fares, published
A private airport transfer from Avon to Sydney Airport costs a fixed $259 one way for one or two passengers. Every seat above that is priced on the table below — Western Sydney Airport and the cruise terminals each have their own fixed fare, with a set $10 fee when we collect you.
| Passengers | Vehicle | Fixed fare (one way) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Sedan | $259 | solo flyers and couples |
| 3 | Kia Carnival | $289 | small families |
| 4 | Kia Carnival | $289 | families with luggage |
| 5 | People Mover | $329 | families and small groups |
| 6 | People Mover | $329 | two families sharing |
| 7 | Minibus | $389 | group holidays |
| 8 | Minibus | $389 | cruise groups |
| 9 | Minibus | $449 | sports teams and club trips |
| 10 | Minibus | $449 | extended families |
| 11 | Minibus | $449 | the whole group, one vehicle |
All fares include tolls, GST, standard luggage and child seats. Prices are per vehicle, not per person — a group of eleven pays $449 total, about $41 a seat, which is why we are usually the cheapest airport shuttle option from Avon for groups. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day of travel, and there is no surge pricing. Fares reviewed August 2026.
Why does each airport have its own fare? Published prices per suburb keep quotes honest and instant — you always know what an Avon airport transfer costs before you book, whichever airport or terminal you are using.
Matched to your group
Four classes, and the fare you see on each card is the real Avon price for that vehicle — not a "from" figure that changes once someone works out where you live.
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
Every class includes the same things. Tolls and GST are inside the fare, child restraints are fitted before we leave at no cost, arrivals are tracked by flight number, and there is no advance payment — you pay on the day of travel. The only thing that changes between cards is how many people and how much luggage fit.
The drive itself
Door to terminal, allow about 1 hr 2 min for the 75 km in normal traffic. The route runs out along Avon Dam Road to Bargo, onto the Hume Motorway and north to the M5, then the tunnel to the terminals. The unlit run out to the highway is the slow part; after that only the M5 East matters, so we add our buffer to the pickup time rather than pretending the drive is quicker than it is.
Avon is remote enough that the pickup is part of the planning rather than an afterthought. There is no passing traffic on Avon Dam Road and no rideshare presence to fall back on, so a pre-booked car with a confirmed pickup time is the only arrangement that reliably works — especially before dawn, when wildlife is on the catchment road and the driver will be deliberately unhurried on the final stretch.
Coming home, the trip from Sydney Airport back to Avon takes about the same, and we track your flight so the car is there when you land, not when you were scheduled to land.
Early morning transfers, planned properly
We work backwards from your boarding time: terminal arrival about two hours before an international departure and around ninety minutes before a domestic one, plus the 62-minute drive and a traffic allowance.
Pickup in Avon around 2:58am. Yes, we do 3am starts — early morning airport transfers from Avon are a normal part of the run sheet, not a special request.
Pickup around 3:28am for a T2/T3 departure. We are at your door, lights off, a few minutes early — no horn on a quiet catchment road.
Pickup around 5:58am, before the M5 East builds. Give us the flight number and we set the exact time for you.
These are guides, not quotes — school holidays, roadwork on the Hume and peak-hour departures all shift the calculation, which is exactly what we adjust for when you book.
Kingsford Smith, both directions
Meet at the limo pickup area after customs — we watch the flight and allow up to an hour from touchdown for bags and border queues, at no extra charge.
Kerbside at the priority pickup zone, with a forty-minute allowance from landing. Send a text when you have your bag and the car rolls up.
Door-to-door from any Avon address — long driveways, unsealed roads and gate codes noted at booking so the 3am pickup goes exactly to plan.
Two airports, two fixed fares
Yes. When Western Sydney International takes passengers, it will be the nearer airport for Avon — and we already quote both.
about 49 min · no tolls on our route
Avon is one of the longer WSI drives in the shire, but it is still shorter than the run to Kingsford Smith and avoids tolls. See our Avon to WSI transfer page.
about 1 hr 2 min · M5 and tunnel
Still the airport with the full international network, and the run we drive most days of the week.
Fixed fare, each airport. $259 from Avon whether your flight uses SYD or WSI — 11 km shorter to WSI, and no airport station access fee because we take you to the terminal door.

Here is the comparison nobody else publishes for a suburb like Avon — private transfer, train, rideshare and driving yourself, side by side.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | The catch for Avon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $259 fixed | ~1 hr 2 min, door to door | none — pre-booked, runs at any hour |
| Train | Opal fares + $18.61 airport station access fee per adult | 2.5–3+ hrs with changes | no station in Avon — you still need a lift to Picton or Tahmoor, services are infrequent, and the first train misses early flights |
| Rideshare / taxi | metered or surge-priced over 75 km | ~1 hr, if a car accepts | effectively no rideshare presence on Avon Dam Road — at 3am there is no car to hail, and the return leg is a gamble |
| Drive yourself & park | fuel + tolls + from ~$190/week budget parking (terminal parking far more) | ~1 hr + shuttle bus from the car park | cheap-looking for a short trip for two, but add pre-dawn self-driving, the car park shuttle, and your car sitting exposed all trip |
Parking figures are Sydney Airport's published long-stay rates at the time of writing — check sydneyairport.com.au for current prices. Train figures use the airport station access fee published by Transport for NSW. For a couple on a short trip, park-and-fly can be cheaper in raw dollars; the transfer wins on total time, the 3am start, groups (one minibus beats two parked cars), and arriving home to your own driveway instead of a car park queue.
One vehicle, one fare
Up to eleven passengers travel in one minibus for one fixed $449 fare — about $41 a seat from Avon to Sydney Airport, which is almost always cheaper than splitting the group across two or three cars and far easier to manage against a check-in deadline. Extended families, sports teams and friends flying out together all book this way.
Luggage is the usual constraint for groups, so tell us the headcount and the bag count when you book. Child seats — capsules, forward-facing and boosters — are fitted before we leave and cost nothing extra, which matters for family groups more than any other line on the quote.
The honest comparison
There is no rideshare presence on Avon Dam Road and no passing taxis — at 3am there is simply no car to hail. A pre-booked private transfer is confirmed the day before, with the driver's details sent to you.
A metered taxi or dynamically-priced rideshare over 75 km leaves the final price to traffic and surge. Our $259 is agreed before you travel, tolls and GST included, and it does not move.
Landing at 11pm and finding a driver willing to take a 75 km fare to a catchment road is a gamble. Ours is booked, tracked against the flight, and waiting at the terminal.
Why book private
No shared shuttle loop, no other pickups unless they are yours. The car comes to your Avon address and drives straight to the terminal.
Avon Dam Road at 3am — unlit, winding, wildlife about — is a road you want driven by someone who does it every week, not a first-timer following a map app.
Delayed into T1? The pickup moves with the aircraft at no charge — an hour's allowance at international, forty minutes at domestic.
Nothing is charged when you book and no card is held — you pay on the day of travel, by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed if you need one.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters fitted before departure, free. Tell us the ages when you book, not on the morning.
Red-eye departures, midnight arrivals, Christmas morning cruises — the service runs around your itinerary, pre-booked.

Questions, answered plainly
It is fixed at $259 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $449 for a group of eleven in a single minibus. Tolls, GST, child seats and one suitcase plus one carry-on per passenger are included, and the price does not change once it is quoted.
For one or two travellers our fixed $259 private fare is the practical floor — there is no shared shuttle route or rail link serving Avon to undercut it. For groups the per-seat cost falls fast: eleven passengers in one minibus works out around $41 a seat.
About 1 hr 2 min for the 75 km in normal conditions, out along Avon Dam Road to Bargo, up the Hume Motorway to the M5 and through the tunnel to the terminals. We add a buffer to the pickup time rather than to the drive.
Around 2:58am. We target the terminal about two hours before an international departure and roughly ninety minutes before a domestic one, then add the drive and a traffic allowance. Give us the flight number and we set the exact time.
Not directly — Avon has no station. The nearest Southern Highlands Line stations are at Picton, Tahmoor and Bargo, so you would need a lift there first, then a change at Campbelltown, and the airport stations charge an $18.61 access fee per adult on top of the Opal fare. Realistically it is a 2.5–3 hour trip that does not run early enough for morning flights.
For two people on a short trip, budget long-stay parking (from around $190 a week, plus fuel and tolls both ways) can undercut a return transfer in raw dollars. For longer trips, groups needing two cars, or 3am departures, the transfer usually wins — and it removes the self-drive, the car park shuttle bus and leaving your car exposed all trip.
Yes — any address off Avon Dam Road, including long, unsealed or unlit driveways. Catchment-area addresses can be hard to distinguish in the dark, so we take the nearest landmark as well as the number and the driver calls rather than guesses.
Yes — WSI is about 64 km from Avon (roughly 49 min) against 75 km to Kingsford Smith, and our route to WSI carries no tolls. The fare is $269 to Sydney Airport and $269 to Western Sydney International: each airport has its own published price.
Yes — one minibus takes up to eleven passengers with luggage for one fixed $449 fare. That is almost always cheaper than multiple cars and it keeps the group together against a check-in or boarding deadline.
The comparison rarely gets that far: rideshare has effectively no presence on Avon Dam Road, and a metered 75 km taxi fare is decided by traffic. Our fare is fixed in advance, and the car is guaranteed to turn up — which at 3am is the part that matters.
No. There is no advance payment and no deposit — nothing is charged when you book and no card is held. You pay on the day of travel, by card, cash or PayID, and a tax invoice is emailed if you want one.
We track the flight number, so the pickup moves automatically with the aircraft. There is no charge for a delayed arrival — we allow an hour from touchdown at T1 and forty minutes at T2 and T3, measured from when you actually land.
Yes, at no extra cost. Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters are fitted before we leave, so tell us the ages of the children when you book rather than on the morning.
Every day, around the clock. Pre-dawn departures and midnight arrivals are normal work for this corridor — the service is pre-booked, so the hour makes no difference to reliability.
