Welby is the working edge of Mittagong, between the motorway and the railway line, and we run private fixed-fare transfers from it to Sydney Airport, Western Sydney Airport and both cruise terminals — quoted up front, paid on the day of travel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle runs private, pre-booked door-to-door transfers from Welby (NSW 2575) to Sydney Airport, Western Sydney Airport, White Bay Cruise Terminal and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. Fares start at $275 one way for one or two passengers and reach $425 for eleven in a single minibus, with tolls, GST, luggage and child seats included. Sydney Airport is 106 km from the Welby shops on Old Hume Highway, about 1 hr 35 min; Western Sydney Airport is closer at 74 km, roughly 1 hr 7 min, for $245. Quote on 0427 143 612 or through the form — there is no advance payment, you settle on the day of travel.
Published fares, no surge
A private transfer from Welby to Sydney Airport is a fixed $275 one way for one or two passengers, with each larger vehicle priced in paired bands on the table below.
| Passengers | Vehicle | Fixed fare (one way) | Typical booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Sedan | $275 | one or two travellers |
| 3 | Kia Carnival | $305 | a small family |
| 4 | Kia Carnival | $305 | four with luggage |
| 5 | People Mover | $335 | holiday departures |
| 6 | People Mover | $335 | two families travelling together |
| 7 | Minibus | $375 | extended families |
| 8 | Minibus | $375 | cruise passengers with full cases |
| 9 | Minibus | $425 | guests travelling as one group |
| 10 | Minibus | $425 | group and club travel |
| 11 | Minibus | $425 | the largest single vehicle |
Prices are per vehicle, not per person — eleven passengers pay $425 in total, about $39 a seat, which is why groups do well here. The bands come in pairs, so an extra passenger is often free. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day of travel. Fares reviewed August 2026.
Three fares, four destinations. Publishing a fixed price per suburb keeps the quote honest and immediate: from Welby it is $275 to Sydney Airport, $245 to Western Sydney and $315 to either cruise terminal.
Sized to the booking
Four classes, picked to suit the group and the cases rather than to add a line to the quote.
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.
What the drive looks like
Allow about 1 hr 35 min for the 106 km. The route runs onto the Hume Motorway at Mittagong and north to the M5, then the M5 East to the terminals.
Immediate motorway access, so only the M5 East matters. That allowance goes into your pickup time rather than into an optimistic arrival estimate.
Welby is quick to get away from and the bookings tend to be practical rather than leisurely — work travel, family visits, and a fair number of one-way runs where someone is being dropped off rather than making a round trip. Coming the other way, off the Hume at Mittagong and immediately into Welby. Quick, direct and with almost no road between the exit and the door. That leg is covered on the Sydney Airport to Welby page.
Timed to your departure
Two hours at the terminal internationally, ninety minutes domestically, then the 1 hr 35 min drive and an allowance for the far end. These are the pickup times that fall out.
Pickup around 2:25am. It is ordinary work on this run rather than a special request.
Around 2:55am for a T2 or T3 departure. Between the motorway and the railway, so the approach depends on which side.
Around 5:25am, which clears the worst of the weekday build-up at the city end.
Use them as a guide and send us the flight number — holidays, roadwork and peak-hour departures all move the calculation, which is what we adjust for.
Kingsford Smith, both directions
Meet at the limousine pickup bay past customs. Your flight number is on our sheet, so a slow bag belt or a long border queue costs you nothing — a full hour is allowed from wheels-down.
Priority kerbside pickup with a forty-minute allowance from landing. Text the driver once you have your bag and the car meets you at the door.
Door pickup anywhere in Welby. Between the motorway and the railway, so the approach depends on which side. Tell us and the driver takes the right one first time.
Two airports, two fixed fares
Welby to WSI leaves the Hume at Picton and comes in shorter and untolled. Western Sydney International is on our standard list and we are quoting it now.
about 1 hr 7 min · toll-free on our route
Onto the Hume at Mittagong and off at Picton for The Northern Road. Quick, direct, and with almost no local road at either end. Route detail on the Welby to WSI page.
about 1 hr 35 min · Hume, M5 and tunnel
The airport with the full international network, and the terminal most departures from here still use.
$275 to Sydney Airport, $245 to Western Sydney. 11 kilometres and 14 minutes shorter to Badgerys Creek, no tolls on our route, and no airport station access fee, because the car stops at the terminal door.
Get Free QuoteNo station here — what is left?
There is no station in the locality, which narrows the field considerably.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $275 fixed | ~1 hr 35 min, door to door | one vehicle from your door, luggage included, at whatever hour the flight or the ship demands |
| Train from Mittagong or Bowral | a lift to the station, Opal fares, plus $18.61 access fee each | 2.5 hrs or more, all up | there is no station here, so somebody has to drive you to Mittagong or Bowral first; from there services are infrequent, need a change at Campbelltown, and none run early enough for a morning flight |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 35 min if a car accepts | practical arrivals rather than leisurely ones — work trips, family visits, and a fair number of one-way legs where somebody is being dropped rather than making a round trip — and the long fare back late at night is one many drivers decline |
| 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 | workable for two people on a short trip, until you add the pre-dawn self-drive, the car park shuttle and a fortnight of parking fees |
The station access fee is Transport for NSW's published charge for entering or leaving an airport rail station, and the parking figure is Sydney Airport's advertised long-stay rate at the time of writing — check both before you decide. Rail can suit one person with hand luggage on a mid-morning flight; it stops suiting anyone with a second passenger, checked bags or a departure before dawn.
One vehicle, one number
Eleven passengers travel in one vehicle for $425 — about $39 a seat, against three separate cars, three sets of parking or three rideshare fares. Extended families, sports teams and friends flying out together all book this way.
Luggage picks the vehicle at least as often as the headcount does, so send the bag count as well. Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters are fitted before departure and cost nothing — we only need the children's ages at booking.
The honest comparison
Practical arrivals rather than leisurely ones — work trips, family visits, and a fair number of one-way legs where somebody is being dropped rather than making a round trip.
Nobody can tell you what a metered trip this long will cost until it ends. Ours is agreed in advance, tolls and GST included.
The return leg is where unbooked plans come apart: a long fare out of the city late at night is one most drivers decline. A booked car is already on the sheet.
What booking ahead buys you
No shared shuttle route, no interchange and nobody else in the car unless you brought them — the run goes from your address to your terminal.
Where a road narrows, which exit is quicker on a given morning and when the motorway banks up are things you learn by driving them, not by reading a map.
If you land late the pickup has already moved — an hour of free waiting at international and forty minutes at domestic, counted from touchdown.
Booking takes nothing from you up front and holds no card. Payment happens on the day of travel — card, cash or PayID — and a tax invoice follows by email on request.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters go in before the vehicle leaves and are part of the fare, provided we know the ages.
Public holidays, three in the morning, the last arrival of the night — all normal work when the booking is in.

Answered plainly
A fixed $275 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $425 for eleven in a single minibus. Tolls, GST, child seats and one suitcase plus one carry-on each are included in every figure, and the price does not change once quoted.
About 1 hr 35 min for the 106 km in normal conditions. The route runs onto the Hume Motorway at Mittagong and north to the M5, then the M5 East to the terminals. Allow more through the weekday morning peak.
About 2:25am. We target the terminal two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, then work back through the drive and a traffic allowance. Send the flight number and we will set the exact minute.
No. The nearest platforms are at Mittagong or Bowral, so somebody has to drive you there first, then change at Campbelltown and pay the $18.61 airport station access fee per adult. Realistically two and a half hours or more, with nothing running early enough for a morning flight.
It can be for two people on a short trip — budget long-stay parking starts around $190 a week. Add fuel and tolls both ways, the pre-dawn self-drive and the shuttle bus from the car park, and the gap narrows quickly; for a group it disappears entirely.
Anywhere in the locality, door to door. Between the motorway and the railway, so the approach depends on which side. Tell us and the driver takes the right one first time.
Yes — WSI is 74 km and about 1 hr 7 min away against 106 km and 1 hr 35 min to Kingsford Smith. Welby to WSI leaves the Hume at Picton and comes in shorter and untolled. The WSI fare is $245 one way, against $275 to Kingsford Smith.
There is no accommodation in the locality itself, so visitors generally stay in the nearest town. We collect from the door wherever that is, at a fixed published fare, in both directions.
Yes — eleven passengers with luggage in one minibus for $425, about $39 a seat. That is almost always cheaper than two or three cars and it keeps the group together against a check-in deadline.
Usually, and availability tends to settle it before price does. Practical arrivals rather than leisurely ones — work trips, family visits, and a fair number of one-way legs where somebody is being dropped rather than making a round trip. A metered fare over 106 km also moves with the traffic, while ours is agreed before you travel.
There is no deposit and nothing payable up front. You settle with the driver on the day of travel and we send a tax invoice afterwards if you need one.
The pickup follows the aircraft at no extra cost. We track the flight number and allow a full hour from touchdown at T1 and forty minutes at T2 and T3, measured from when you actually land rather than the timetable.
Yes, free of charge. We fit capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters before the vehicle leaves the depot, provided the ages come with the booking.
Yes, at any hour and on any day including public holidays. The hour makes no difference to a pre-booked car — that is rather the point of one.
