We drive via the M4 Motorway and WestConnex toward the airport — roughly 30 km from Carlingford to Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport, around 38 minutes when the roads are clear.

What time should you leave Carlingford?
Wondering when to set off? Our target is to have you at the airport about two hours before international and 75–90 minutes before domestic flights. In practice, from Carlingford a 6:00 AM international flight means we collect you around 3:22 AM, and an 8:00 AM flight around 5:22 AM, with the drive, check-in and traffic all factored in. Share your flight details and we’ll pin the pickup exactly.

On the return leg we monitor your flight in real time, so whether you land early or delayed your driver is ready.

Travelling with children
Travelling with little ones? We can supply infant capsules, child seats and boosters on request — let us know the children’s ages at booking and the correct restraint is installed before pickup in Carlingford.
Luggage & oversized items
Bags are part of the fixed fare, not an extra. We size the vehicle to the luggage, not just the seats: a sedan takes 2 travellers with a checked bag and carry-on each, a 7-seat SUV covers 3–4, a people mover 5–6, and the maxi shuttle bus 7–11. Oversized items like golf clubs, skis or prams are no problem — flag them and we’ll send the right vehicle.

Meeting your driver before the drive back to Carlingford
After you land, switch your phone on — your Carlingford driver messages you to coordinate the exact spot. Here's where to head at each terminal.
Exit Terminal 1 and head to the P7 parking building directly in front of you. Go inside and follow the signs to the Rideshare Pickup Area (left side inside P7). Maximum waiting time: 60 minutes after the plane lands.
Exit T2 arrivals, cross toward the P1 walkway, take the first right at the 'Priority & Express Pick-up' sign and follow the covered walkway to the Priority Pick-up area, then contact your driver. Maximum waiting time: 40 minutes after the plane lands.
Exit T3 arrivals, cross the traffic lights, continue along the P1 walkway and take the first left to the Priority Pick-up area, then contact your driver. Maximum waiting time: 40 minutes after the plane lands.
Please keep your phone switched on after landing so we can reach you. Extra waiting time beyond that may incur additional fees and can also result in cancellation of the service. If you think you will need longer — a slow bag, immigration queues, travelling with children — tell us in advance and we will build it into the booking.

A sedan comfortably takes 2 travellers with a checked bag and a carry-on each; 3–4 travel in a 7-seat SUV, 5–6 in a people mover, and 7–11 in the maxi shuttle bus. Mention oversized gear — golf clubs, skis or prams — and we’ll match the vehicle.
