A new airport, twenty minutes closer. Fixed-fare private transfers from Pheasants Nest to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — the bridge-and-service-centre locality where the Hume crosses the Nepean gorge — on a route with no tolls and no tunnel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Pheasants Nest (NSW 2574) to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. The airport takes passengers, and it is 76 km from the Pheasants Nest service centre on the Hume to the terminal, about 1 hr. That is 12 km shorter than the 88 km run to Kingsford Smith, and our route carries no tolls. The fare is $199 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $309 for eleven in one vehicle — the Sydney Airport run from here is $229. Nothing is payable in advance. Arrange it now and the morning looks after itself. 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.
Booked before the airport opens. We are taking WSI bookings on the same terms as everything else — fixed fare, nothing payable in advance.
Matched to your group
Four classes, from a sedan for two to an eleven-seat minibus. The only difference between them is how many people and how much luggage fit.
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 western run
Allow about 1 hr for the 76 km from the Pheasants Nest service centre on the Hume to the terminal forecourt. From the Nest, WSI is reached by leaving the Hume early and running up through Picton — shorter than it looks on a map.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 88 km and about 1 hr 14 min, so Badgerys Creek saves 12 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 Pheasants Nest page.
Departure timing, worked backwards
We plan the pickup from your boarding time, not from a round number. The gain at Badgerys Creek is that the drive in front of it is shorter.
Rough figures until we have the flight. Once we do, the pickup is set against your boarding time rather than against an average.
One terminal, one kerb
Western Sydney International has a single terminal, which makes the drop straightforward: we pull into the forecourt, take the bags out and you walk in. No terminal to guess at and no interchange between domestic and international.
Returning, it works the same way in reverse: flight tracked from wheels-down, driver waiting in arrivals, and no charge for the delay.
Pickup is from your driveway at a time set by the flight, with nobody else in the vehicle and nothing else on the run sheet.
The other airport
Kingsford Smith is 88 km from Pheasants Nest and Badgerys Creek is 76 km. The new airport wins on distance by 12 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 14 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 Pheasants Nest to Sydney Airport page.
about 1 hr · no tolls on our route
Off the Hume early and up through Picton to The Northern Road — shorter than the map suggests, because the direct line north is better than the motorway route. No tolls on any of it.
$229 to Sydney Airport, $199 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) | $199 fixed | ~1 hr, 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 Pheasants Nest — 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 | most of what we bring back here is crews and handovers rather than households, and those happen at every hour |
| 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 Pheasants Nest: 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 $309 — about $28 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 76 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $199 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
$199 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $309 for a full eleven-seat minibus. Western Sydney has its own published price list, usually below the Sydney Airport fare.
You can book a transfer for any date from then, and no deposit is taken.
Roughly 1 hr to cover 76 km. The saving against the 88 km Mascot run is 12 km, and more importantly it is a run that does not go through the tunnel.
It is: 76 km rather than 88 km. The distance saving is 12 km and the drive skips the M5 East, which is the part of the Mascot run most likely to cost you twenty minutes.
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.
Nothing up front and no pre-authorisation. The fare is settled at the terminal on the day, however you prefer to pay.
Backwards from the flight rather than forwards from a guess — terminal time, plus 1 hr on the road, plus a margin. Give us the flight number and the pickup is set against your boarding time rather than an average.
Any hour, including public holidays; set fees apply for pickups before 6am or after 8pm. A 3am start is a normal shift rather than a special request.
Rail serves the airport from St Marys, not from Pheasants Nest. Getting to that line with checked bags is the problem the transfer solves.
Eleven is the maximum in a single vehicle, at $309 for the group. That is almost always less than two or three separate cars, and it keeps everyone together.
Yes and no charge. The ages matter at booking so the right restraints are already in the car.
Message or call and we move it at no cost. Because nothing is charged in advance, there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 88 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Pheasants Nest to Sydney Airport page.
Luggage decides the vehicle, not the passenger count. Bulky items such as golf clubs, skis, surfboards and bikes are $10 each; tell us at booking.
Only your group. We do not combine bookings, so the drive is direct.
Anything from a day ahead usually works, though the holiday periods and the airport's first months fill earlier.
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.
Thirlmere, Couridjah, Tahmoor, Bargo 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.
