Fixed-fare private transfers from Tahmoor — a working town strung along the Remembrance Driveway, built around the colliery and the railway line — to Sydney Airport, Western Sydney Airport and both cruise terminals. Booked ahead, priced up front, paid on the day you travel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle provides private, pre-booked door-to-door transfers from Tahmoor (NSW 2573, Wollondilly Shire) to Sydney Airport, Western Sydney Airport, White Bay Cruise Terminal and the Overseas Passenger Terminal. The Tahmoor fare starts at $235 one way for one or two passengers and tops out at $385 for nine to eleven people in a single minibus, with tolls, GST, luggage and child seats already included. Sydney Airport is 84 km away, about 1 hr 13 min; Western Sydney Airport is much nearer at 54 km, around 57 min, for the same money. Quote on 0427 143 612 or through the form — there is no advance payment, you settle on the day of travel.
One number, published
One or two people travel from Tahmoor for a fixed $235 one way. Above that the price steps up in pairs rather than climbing with every extra seat.
| Passengers | Vehicle | Fixed fare (one way) | Typical booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Sedan | $235 | shift workers and couples |
| 3 | Kia Carnival | $265 | a family of three |
| 4 | Kia Carnival | $265 | four adults with luggage |
| 5 | People Mover | $295 | school-holiday departures |
| 6 | People Mover | $295 | two families sharing a run |
| 7 | Minibus | $335 | extended family trips |
| 8 | Minibus | $335 | cruise groups with full cases |
| 9 | Minibus | $385 | sports teams and club trips |
| 10 | Minibus | $385 | work crews flying out together |
| 11 | Minibus | $385 | the most we fit in one vehicle |
The paired bands matter here more than most places: a fourth passenger costs nothing over three, a sixth nothing over five. Eleven at $385 is about $35 a head, and for the crews that fly out of Tahmoor together that is the whole argument. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day of travel.

What does the shorter WSI trip cost? Western Sydney Airport is $185 from here and Sydney Airport $235 — published prices are what let us answer a quote request in a sentence. Tahmoor is $235 whether the run ends at Kingsford Smith, Badgerys Creek, White Bay or Circular Quay.
Matched to the job
We choose the class from the headcount and the bag count, and the fare band already includes it — the bigger boot is never an upcharge.

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, honestly
Plan on 1 hr 13 min over 84 km. We run north along Remembrance Driveway through Picton, join the Hume at Pheasants Nest, hold it to the M5 and finish east through the tunnel to the terminals.
Two spots cost time. The merge onto the Hume at Pheasants Nest can sit behind trucks on a weekday morning, and the M5 East is the usual pinch at the city end. Neither surprises a driver who runs this corridor daily, so the allowance goes into the pickup time rather than into an optimistic arrival.
Tahmoor sends a steady stream of shift and fly-in-fly-out workers to the airport, which means a lot of our runs from here leave at hours when nothing else is moving. In the other direction the road home leaves the Hume at Pheasants Nest and follows the Driveway south — fast at night, with the only slow part being the last few hundred metres. That leg is covered on the Sydney Airport to Tahmoor page.
Timed to your boarding pass
Terminal two hours ahead for international, ninety minutes for domestic, minus the 73-minute drive and a margin for the Hume merge and the tunnel.
Pickup about 2:47am. This is the bread-and-butter Tahmoor departure — the shift-worker hour, when the Driveway is empty and the run is quick.
Around 3:17am for T2 or T3. If your driveway comes straight off Remembrance Driveway the driver will approach from the side that lets him pull well clear of the traffic lane.
Around 5:47am, which puts us through the Pheasants Nest merge before the truck traffic builds.
These are the starting figures. Give us the flight number and we set the exact time against the day — school terms, long weekends and roadwork on the Driveway all move it a little.
Meeting you at Kingsford Smith
Meet at the limousine pickup bay past customs. We watch the flight, so a slow bag belt costs you nothing — a full hour is allowed from touchdown before any waiting time applies.
Kerbside in the priority zone, forty minutes allowed from landing. A text when you have your bag is all the driver needs.
Door pickup anywhere in town. Several Tahmoor properties sit directly on Remembrance Driveway, so tell us the house number and the driver will already know which side to come in from.
Two airports, two fixed fares
Clearly. Western Sydney International takes passengers and for Tahmoor it takes thirty kilometres and a quarter of an hour off the trip.
about 57 min · toll-free on our route
The WSI drive runs up through Picton and The Northern Road rather than the Hume, keeping the trip clear of the motorway and its trucks altogether. Route detail on the Tahmoor to WSI page.
about 1 hr 13 min · Hume, M5 and tunnel
The airport with the full international network, and the one most Tahmoor departures still use.
$235 to Sydney Airport, $185 to Western Sydney. Thirty kilometres and sixteen minutes shorter to Badgerys Creek, no tolls on our route, and no station access fee to pay because we stop at the terminal itself.
Get Free QuoteTahmoor has a station — does rail work?
Tahmoor is on the Southern Highlands line, so rail is a real alternative here rather than a theoretical one. It is worth setting the two side by side.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $235 fixed | ~1 hr 13 min, door to door | one vehicle from your door, your luggage aboard, at any hour including the ones nothing else covers |
| Train via Campbelltown | Opal fares plus $18.61 station access fee each | roughly 2 hrs at best | services from Tahmoor are limited and generally terminate at Campbelltown, so there is a change and a wait; the timetable does not start early enough for a dawn departure and has finished by the time a late international lands |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 13 min if a car accepts | coverage is patchy this far down the line, and the 84 km fare back from the airport at midnight is one many drivers will not take |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 13 min plus the car park shuttle | workable for a couple on a short trip, until you add the pre-dawn self-drive, the shuttle bus from the car park and two weeks of parking fees |
The access fee is Transport for NSW's published charge for entering or leaving an airport rail station; the parking figure is Sydney Airport's advertised long-stay rate at the time of writing. Check both yourself before you decide. Rail genuinely suits a solo traveller with a carry-on and a late-morning flight from Tahmoor. It stops suiting anyone the moment there is a second passenger, checked bags, or a departure before the first train.
Where the bands do the work
Nine, ten or eleven people all pay the same $385 for one minibus — near enough to $35 a seat. For the crews that fly out of Tahmoor together, and for families travelling in the school holidays, that is decisively cheaper than three cars, three lots of parking or three rideshare fares, and it puts everyone at the terminal at the same moment.
Tell us the bag count as well as the headcount, because on this run luggage usually picks the vehicle. Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters are fitted before we leave and are not charged for — we just need the children's ages at booking rather than on the morning.
The straight comparison
Rideshare coverage thins out well before Tahmoor and effectively disappears in the small hours. At 3am on a weekday there is usually nothing to hail, which is the exact time the airport run starts.
Distance-based pricing on a trip this long swings with traffic and demand, and the tunnel is where it swings most. Our figure is agreed at booking and does not change afterwards.
Shift patterns mean Tahmoor is used to people coming and going at odd hours, but that does not help you when the last train has gone. A booked car is already on the sheet and already watching your flight.
What the booking buys
No shared shuttle picking up along the highway and no interchange — the vehicle is yours for the trip and goes where you are going.
Knowing when the Pheasants Nest merge backs up behind trucks, and which side of the Driveway to approach a house from, comes from driving it every week.
A delayed arrival moves your pickup automatically and costs nothing extra — an hour of grace at international, forty minutes domestic, measured from touchdown.
Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held. Payment happens on the day of travel by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed if you want one.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters fitted before departure at no cost, provided we know the ages in advance.
Pre-dawn starts, public holidays, the last international of the night — all ordinary work here, provided the booking is in.
Route and pickup area
Tahmoor runs along the Remembrance Driveway between Picton and Bargo. This is the line we take out to the terminals.

Plain answers
A fixed $235 one way for one or two passengers, $265 for three or four, $295 for five or six, $335 for seven or eight, and $385 for nine through eleven in one minibus. Tolls, GST, standard luggage and child seats are included in each figure.
A solo traveller with a carry-on and a late-morning flight can do it more cheaply by train via Campbelltown. With two people, checked bags or a pre-dawn departure, the fixed $235 car, plus the set $20 fee for a pickup before 6am, costs less in practice and saves the better part of an hour.
Around 1 hr 13 min for the 84 km: Remembrance Driveway north through Picton, the Hume from Pheasants Nest, then the M5 and the tunnel. Allow closer to an hour and a half in the weekday morning peak.
About 2:47am. We aim to have you at the terminal two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, then work backwards through the drive and a traffic allowance.
You can, with a change at Campbelltown. Southern Highlands services from Tahmoor are limited, the airport stations add an $18.61 access fee per adult, and the trip takes roughly two hours at best. The first service is too late for an early flight and the last has finished before most evening internationals land.
For two people on a short trip it can be, on paper — budget long-stay parking starts near $190 a week. For longer trips, groups, or a 3am start, the transfer generally comes out ahead once fuel, tolls, the shuttle bus and the self-drive are counted.
Anywhere in town, including the properties that front directly onto Remembrance Driveway. Give us the house number at booking and the driver will approach from the side that lets him stop well clear of the traffic lane.
Considerably. WSI is 54 km and about 57 min away against 84 km and 1 hr 13 min to Kingsford Smith, and the route goes up through Picton and The Northern Road rather than the motorway. The WSI fare is $185 one way, against $235 to Kingsford Smith.
That is one of our most common bookings here. Eleven passengers with luggage in one minibus for a flat $385, about $35 a seat, and everybody arrives at the terminal at the same time.
On this run, usually. Rideshare supply is thin and largely absent in the small hours, and a metered fare over 84 km moves with the traffic. A booked transfer is priced in advance and guaranteed to arrive.
No. There is no advance payment and no card held. You pay on the day of travel by card, cash or PayID, and we email a tax invoice if you need one.
The pickup follows the aircraft. We track the flight number and allow a full hour from touchdown at T1 and forty minutes at T2 and T3, at no additional charge.
Yes, at no cost. Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters are installed before the vehicle leaves, so please give us the ages when you book rather than on the day.
Constantly — the shift patterns here mean a good share of our work leaves before dawn or arrives after midnight. It is the advance booking that makes it dependable.
