From Braemar to Western Sydney International: a shorter drive, an untolled route and the same fixed fare you would pay to Kingsford Smith. Braemar is the industrial and residential edge of Mittagong, right beside the motorway.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Braemar (NSW 2575) to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. The airport takes passengers, and it is 69 km from the Braemar industrial estate entrance to the terminal, about 1 hr 1 min. That is 32 km shorter than the 101 km run to Kingsford Smith, and our route carries no tolls. The fare is $225 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $335 for eleven in one vehicle — the Sydney Airport run from here is $255. Nothing is payable in advance. One message books it; nothing is charged until the day. Quote on 0427 143 612.

One price list, a fare for each airport. It keeps the quote simple and it means you can change airports after booking without the number changing.

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 western run
Allow about 1 hr 1 min for the 69 km from the Braemar industrial estate entrance to the terminal forecourt. Braemar to WSI leaves the Hume at Picton and comes in shorter and cheaper than the run to Kingsford Smith.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 101 km and about 1 hr 29 min, so Badgerys Creek saves 32 km — and, more usefully, it skips the M5 East and the airport tunnel, which is where the Mascot run loses its time on a bad morning.
Arriving rather than departing? The meeting points and free waiting times are on the Western Sydney Airport to Braemar page.
Departure timing, worked backwards
The shorter drive is the whole point, and it shows up as a later pickup rather than a cheaper fare. This is how the time is worked out.
Treat them as a starting point — school holidays and roadwork on The Northern Road both move the calculation, which is what we adjust for.
One terminal, one kerb
There is only one terminal at Badgerys Creek, so there is nothing to work out on arrival — the vehicle stops at the departures forecourt and the bags come out with you.
On the return leg we watch the flight number and meet you in arrivals with a name card — the waiting time after touchdown is included in the fare.
The outbound run starts at your door, at a pickup time we calculate from your flight rather than one you have to guess.
The other airport
Kingsford Smith is 101 km from Braemar and Badgerys Creek is 69 km. The new airport wins on distance by 32 km and on route quality by rather more than that, but the older one still has the wider network of long-haul destinations. Here are both, honestly.
about 1 hr 29 min · Hume, M5 and the airport tunnel
Where the long-haul network still is today, and where most flights out of this district leave from until the new airport's schedule fills out. Departure fares and leave-by times for Mascot are on the Braemar to Sydney Airport page.
about 1 hr 1 min · no tolls on our route
Straight onto the Hume at Mittagong, off at Picton, then up The Northern Road. Braemar has the best motorway access in the Highlands, which makes this the most reliable WSI departure in the region.
$255 to Sydney Airport, $225 to Western Sydney. The fare is set by your suburb and your group size, not by the terminal at the far end — so switching airports after booking does not change the number.
Get Free QuoteThe honest comparison
Badgerys Creek is a new airport with a road network built for it and a rail line that does not reach this district. That changes how the options compare.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $225 fixed | ~1 hr 1 min, door to door | a fare fixed in advance and a car that is on the sheet rather than hoped for |
| Train or metro | Opal fares, plus getting yourself to the line | 2 hrs or more, with changes | the airport metro runs from St Marys, not from Braemar — you would need to reach it with your luggage first, which is the trip you were trying to avoid |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 1 min if a car accepts | late business arrivals are more common here than elsewhere in the Highlands |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 1 min plus the car park shuttle | parking at a brand-new airport is untested at this stage, and it still means leaving a car sitting there for the length of the trip |
Fares, parking rates and the metro timetable at Western Sydney International will settle over its first months, so check anything time-sensitive before you rely on it. The honest summary for Braemar: for a departure from Badgerys Creek there is no realistic public transport option from this district, which is exactly why a fixed-fare car makes sense.
One vehicle, one fare
Eleven passengers and their luggage travel in one minibus for $335 — about $30 a seat, against three separate cars at whatever the apps are charging that morning. Everyone leaves at once and arrives at once.
Give us the headcount and a rough bag count when you book. If the group is flying out on two different flights, say so and we will either run two pickups or hold one vehicle — a much easier decision now than at 4am.
Booked car or app
A metered or surge-priced trip of 69 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $225 the moment you booked.
An app at 4am in this district is a hope, not a plan. A pre-booked driver is on the sheet with your address and your flight number.
Cases carried to the boot and out again at the forecourt, with child restraints already fitted — not an argument about whether the pram fits.
Why pre-book the western run
You pay your suburb's published price whether you fly from Badgerys Creek or Mascot. Its own fare, usually below Sydney Airport.
The run from here goes up The Northern Road rather than through the M5 East and the airport tunnel — and the toll saving is already inside your fixed fare.
A single building means no guessing between domestic and international, and no shuttle bus between them.
No deposit and no card held. You pay the driver when you get there, by card, cash or PayID.
We are taking bookings now on exactly the same terms as every other run.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters, installed before we arrive and included in the fare.

Questions, answered plainly
A fixed $225 one way for one or two passengers, up to $335 for eleven in one vehicle. It is your suburb's published Western Sydney fare, $225; Kingsford Smith is $255.
We are taking bookings for departures from that date now, on exactly the same terms as every other run — fixed fare, nothing payable in advance.
About 1 hr 1 min for the 69 km. That is 32 km shorter than the run to Kingsford Smith, and the route avoids the M5 East and the airport tunnel entirely.
It is: 69 km rather than 101 km. The distance saving is 32 km and the drive skips the M5 East, which is the part of the Mascot run most likely to cost you twenty minutes.
At the departures forecourt. Western Sydney International has a single terminal building, so there is no guessing between domestic and international and no shuttle between them — the vehicle stops at the door and the bags come out with you.
No. Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held. You pay the driver on the day of travel by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed afterwards if you want one.
Backwards from the flight rather than forwards from a guess — terminal time, plus 1 hr 1 min on the road, plus a margin. Give us the flight number and the pickup is set against your boarding time rather than an average.
Yes — the first departures and the last arrivals are ordinary work here, with set fees for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.
Rail serves the airport from St Marys, not from Braemar. Getting to that line with checked bags is the problem the transfer solves.
Yes — eleven passengers and their luggage in one minibus for $335, about $30 a seat. One vehicle leaves once and arrives once, which matters more than the saving when there is a check-in deadline.
Yes and no charge. The ages matter at booking so the right restraints are already in the car.
We move the booking free of charge. On the return leg we also track the flight number, so a late arrival shifts the pickup automatically.
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 101 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Braemar to Sydney Airport page.
All of it, within the class you book. Tell us about skis, clubs, a pram or a wheelchair when you book and we send something with the room rather than discovering the problem in your driveway.
Only your group. We do not combine bookings, so the drive is direct.
Twenty-four to forty-eight hours is comfortable, and further ahead over school holidays and Christmas. For the opening weeks of the new airport, earlier is better — the first schedules will be busy.
The passenger terminal is the usual drop, but the aerotropolis precinct around it is the same run and the same fare. Give us the exact address when you book.
