A new airport, twenty minutes closer. Fixed-fare private transfers from Tahmoor to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — a working town strung along the Remembrance Driveway, built around the colliery and the railway line — on a route with no tolls and no tunnel.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Tahmoor (NSW 2573) to Western Sydney International at Badgerys Creek — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. The airport takes passengers, and it is 54 km from the Tahmoor shops on Remembrance Driveway to the terminal, about 57 min. That is 30 km shorter than the 84 km run to Kingsford Smith, and our route carries no tolls. The fare is $185 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $285 for eleven in one vehicle — the Sydney Airport run from here is $235. Nothing is payable in advance. Book it with the flight and there is nothing left to arrange. Quote on 0427 143 612.

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 57 min for the 54 km from the Tahmoor shops on Remembrance Driveway to the terminal forecourt. For Tahmoor the WSI drive runs up through Picton and The Northern Road rather than the Hume, which keeps it clear of the motorway entirely.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 84 km and about 1 hr 13 min, so Badgerys Creek saves 30 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 Tahmoor 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 84 km from Tahmoor and Badgerys Creek is 54 km. The new airport wins on distance by 30 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 13 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 Tahmoor to Sydney Airport page.
about 57 min · no tolls on our route
North through Picton and up The Northern Road. What it means for Tahmoor is not the distance saving so much as the character of the drive — no tolls, no tunnel, and no M5 East queue between you and the terminal. For a district built around shift work, a predictable run matters more than a fast one.
$235 to Sydney Airport, $185 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) | $185 fixed | ~57 min, door to door | one fixed fare, door to terminal forecourt, with the luggage carried and set fees only for pickups before 6am or after 8pm |
| 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 Tahmoor — 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 | ~57 min if a car accepts | shift patterns mean Tahmoor is used to people coming and going at odd hours, but that does not help you at midnight with three cases |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~57 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 Tahmoor: 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 $285 — about $26 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 54 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $185 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
The number was set by where you live and how many seats you need. The airport at the far end does not enter into it.
Our route to Badgerys Creek avoids the tolled motorways entirely — and the toll saving is already inside your fixed fare anyway.
For most of this district WSI is closer than Kingsford Smith, and that shows up as an extra half hour in bed.
Nothing is taken at booking, so there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
Bookings are open now, at the published fare.

Questions, answered plainly
Between $185 and $285, decided by how many seats you need. Each destination has its own fare: from Tahmoor, Badgerys Creek is $185 and Mascot $235.
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.
54 km, normally around 57 min. Kingsford Smith is 84 km from here, so the new airport saves 30 km and the tolled section with it.
It is: 54 km rather than 84 km. The distance saving is 30 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.
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 57 min drive.
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 Tahmoor. Getting to that line with checked bags is the problem the transfer solves.
Yes — eleven passengers and their luggage in one minibus for $285, about $26 a seat. One vehicle leaves once and arrives once, which matters more than the saving when there is a check-in deadline.
All three types, free, and installed before the vehicle leaves for your address. Give us the ages at booking.
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 84 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Tahmoor 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.
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.
