From Welby to Western Sydney International: a shorter drive, an untolled route and the same fixed fare you would pay to Kingsford Smith. Welby is the working edge of Mittagong, between the motorway and the railway line.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Welby (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 74 km from the Welby shops on Old Hume Highway to the terminal, about 1 hr 7 min. That is 32 km shorter than the 106 km run to Kingsford Smith, and our route carries no tolls. The fare is $245 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $355 for eleven in one vehicle — the Sydney Airport run from here is $275. Nothing is payable in advance. Give us the date and the terminal time, and we do the arithmetic. Quote on 0427 143 612.

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 7 min for the 74 km from the Welby shops on Old Hume Highway to the terminal forecourt. Welby to WSI leaves the Hume at Picton and comes in shorter and untolled.
The same trip to Kingsford Smith is 106 km and about 1 hr 35 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 Welby 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 106 km from Welby and Badgerys Creek is 74 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 35 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 Welby to Sydney Airport page.
about 1 hr 7 min · no tolls on our route
Onto the Hume at Mittagong and off at Picton for The Northern Road. Quick, direct, and with almost no local road at either end.
$275 to Sydney Airport, $245 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) | $245 fixed | ~1 hr 7 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 Welby — 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 7 min if a car accepts | practical arrivals rather than leisurely ones — work trips, family visits, and a fair number of one-way legs where somebody is being dropped rather than making a round trip |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 7 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 Welby: 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 $355 — about $32 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 74 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $245 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
$245 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $355 for a full eleven-seat minibus. Western Sydney has its own published price list, usually below the Sydney Airport fare.
Bookings for that date onwards are already open at the published fare, with nothing charged until the day.
About 1 hr 7 min for the 74 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: 74 km rather than 106 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.
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. 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.
From your boarding time, not a round number. Give us the flight number and we set the exact pickup around the 1 hr 7 min drive.
Yes — the first departures and the last arrivals are ordinary work here, with set fees for pickups before 6am or after 8pm.
Not usefully from Welby. 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.
Yes — eleven passengers and their luggage in one minibus for $355, about $32 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.
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 106 km from here — the distances, leave-by times and terminal details are on the Welby to Sydney Airport page.
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.
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.
Terminal or precinct — both are covered by your suburb's published fare.
