What does the run from The Oaks to Badgerys Creek cost?
$159 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $219 for a full eleven-seat minibus. Western Sydney has its own published price list, usually below the Sydney Airport fare.
Can I book a transfer to Western Sydney Airport yet?
Bookings for that date onwards are already open at the published fare, with nothing charged until the day.
What is the drive time from The Oaks to Western Sydney Airport?
41 km, normally around 42 min. Kingsford Smith is 71 km from here, so the new airport saves 30 km and the tolled section with it.
Should I use Badgerys Creek or Mascot?
Yes — 41 km against 71 km, a saving of 30 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.
Is there one terminal or several at Badgerys Creek?
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.
Do I pay before I travel?
Nothing up front and no pre-authorisation. The fare is settled at the terminal on the day, however you prefer to pay.
How do you work out the pickup time?
Backwards from the flight rather than forwards from a guess — terminal time, plus 42 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.
Is there a night service to the new airport?
Yes — the first departures and the last arrivals are ordinary work here, with set fees for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.
Is there public transport to Western Sydney Airport?
There is a metro planned for the airport itself, but it does not come anywhere near The Oaks — reaching it means a drive or several changes before you even start, which is usually the trip you were trying to avoid.
What is the largest group you can take to Badgerys Creek?
Eleven is the maximum in a single vehicle, at $219 for the group. That is almost always less than two or three separate cars, and it keeps everyone together.
Is there a charge for child restraints?
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters, all fitted before we arrive and all at no extra cost. We need the children's ages when you book rather than on the morning.
What happens if the airline moves my flight?
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.
Do you cover both airports?
Both, each with its own published fare. Kingsford Smith is 71 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the The Oaks to Sydney Airport page.
Do you carry luggage, or just passengers?
The vehicle is chosen from your bag count as much as your headcount, and the driver loads and unloads it. A sedan takes two large cases and two carry-ons; the minibus takes eleven people's worth.
Is it a private car or a shared shuttle?
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.
How far ahead should I book?
Anything from a day ahead usually works, though the holiday periods and the airport's first months fill earlier.
Can you drop somewhere else at Badgerys Creek?
Terminal or precinct — both are covered by your suburb's published fare.
Which other localities nearby do you cover?
Orangeville, Werombi, Glenmore, Belimbla Park 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.
