The airport moved closer. Private transfers from Colo Vale (a long village strung along the old highway, north of Mittagong and off the motorway) to Badgerys Creek, priced before you book and paid on the day you travel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Colo Vale (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 68 km from the Colo Vale shops on the old Hume to the terminal, about 1 hr. That is 32 km shorter than the 100 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. Book it with the flight and there is nothing left to arrange. Quote on 0427 143 612.

Tolls, GST, child restraints and one suitcase plus one carry-on each are inside that number, and there is no public-holiday loading. Nothing is charged when you book. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day of travel. Fares reviewed August 2026.
Does WSI have its own fare? Yes — $225 for one or two passengers, against $255 to Kingsford Smith, because the price follows the distance from your street and the vehicle you need.
Matched to your group
Passengers and luggage set the vehicle, and we settle that when you book rather than working it out in your driveway.

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 for the 68 km from the Colo Vale shops on the old Hume to the terminal forecourt. Colo Vale to WSI is a shorter run than most of the Highlands, coming off the Hume at Picton.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 100 km and about 1 hr 28 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 Colo Vale page.
Departure timing, worked backwards
Western Sydney International is a shorter drive than Mascot from here, so the alarm goes off later — but the terminal deadline works the same way. Here is how we set the pickup.
These are guides. Give us the flight number when you book and we set the exact time against it, including for the first wave of departures after the airport opens.
One terminal, one kerb
A single terminal is one of the quiet advantages of the new airport: no T1-versus-T3 confusion, no shuttle between buildings, just a forecourt and a door.
Coming back the other way, the driver meets you inside the arrivals area with your name, and the flight is tracked so a delay moves the pickup at no cost.
Going out, we collect you at your own address at a time worked back from the terminal deadline — not a meeting point down the road.
The other airport
Kingsford Smith is 100 km from Colo Vale and Badgerys Creek is 68 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 28 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 Colo Vale to Sydney Airport page.
about 1 hr · no tolls on our route
Onto the Hume at Mittagong or Aylmerton, north to Picton, then The Northern Road. Shorter than most Highlands WSI runs because the exit comes early.
$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, door to door | agreed before you book, driven without tolls, and paid only on the day |
| 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 Colo Vale — 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 if a car accepts | colo Vale is a commuter village, so a lot of what we bring back are people returning from work trips on the last flight of the evening |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 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 Colo Vale: 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 68 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
A published fare per suburb for each airport, Badgerys Creek and Mascot alike.
The line we drive west never touches the M5 East, which is the part of the Mascot run that goes wrong most often.
One building, one forecourt, and a road network built for it rather than retrofitted around it.
No deposit, no pre-authorisation, no card on file — you settle with the driver on the day.
Departures can be booked today on the ordinary terms.
Capsules and boosters fitted before the vehicle leaves for your address, at no charge.

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.
You can book a transfer for any date from then, and no deposit is taken.
Roughly 1 hr to cover 68 km. The saving against the 100 km Mascot run is 12 km, and more importantly it is a run that does not go through the tunnel.
Yes — 68 km against 100 km, a saving of 32 km, and our route to it carries no tolls. For 74 of the 75 suburbs we serve, Western Sydney is the closer airport; Darkes Forest on the escarpment is the single exception.
Straight to the departures door of the one terminal. Nothing to work out on arrival, and the driver carries the luggage rather than just unlocking the boot.
No deposit and no card on file. Payment happens on the day, which is also why there is no cancellation fee if your plans change.
From your boarding time, not a round number. Give us the flight number and we set the exact pickup around the 1 hr drive.
Every hour of every day; set fees apply before 6am and after 8pm. Set fees apply for pickups before 6am (+$20), 8pm–10pm (+$10) and after 10pm (+$20); there is no public-holiday premium.
Not usefully from Colo Vale. A metro line is being built to serve the airport, but it runs between St Marys and the terminal rather than out to this district, so you would still need to get yourself across to it with your luggage.
One eleven-seat minibus takes the lot for $335. Beyond eleven we run a second vehicle and quote it in advance.
All three types, free, and installed before the vehicle leaves for your address. Give us the ages at booking.
One message reschedules it. No money has changed hands, so a change costs you nothing.
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 100 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Colo Vale 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.
Yours alone. There is no shared loop and no interchange — the word shuttle is in our name because of the route, not because you share the car.
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.
Anywhere in the airport precinct, at the same price. The terminal forecourt is simply where most bookings end.
Aylmerton, Alpine, Braemar, Willow Vale and the rest of the district — all 75 suburbs across Wollondilly Shire, Macarthur and the Southern Highlands, each with its own published fare and its own distance to Badgerys Creek.
