Planning your Leichhardt airport run
How we drive from Leichhardt to the airport
We drive via Parramatta Road and the WestConnex (M4-M8) tunnels toward the airport — roughly 11 km from Leichhardt to Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport, around 21 minutes when the roads are clear. Parramatta Road and the WestConnex can bank up in weekday peaks, so we build in extra time. Every terminal is covered by our fixed-price Sydney Airport transfers — T1, T2 and T3.
What time should you leave Leichhardt?
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 Leichhardt a 6:00 AM international flight means we collect you around 3:39 AM, and an 8:00 AM flight around 5:39 AM, with the drive, check-in and traffic all factored in. Share your flight details and we’ll pin the pickup exactly.
Early-morning & late-night Leichhardt transfers
Our service runs around the clock, 365 days a year. Early-hours pickups from Leichhardt are routine for us, with your driver waiting on time, and if you land late we are still there, even past midnight. There’s no after-hours loading — the fixed price stays the same day or night.
Coming home: airport to Leichhardt
For the trip back we watch your flight in real time and have the driver ready whenever you touch down. They message you on landing, meet you at the terminal pick-up point, handle your luggage and drive you non-stop to your door in Leichhardt — no queueing for a cab, no detours for other passengers.
Travelling with children
Infant capsules, baby seats and boosters are available on request at no extra charge — just tell us your children’s ages when you book so the right restraint is fitted and installed before we arrive in Leichhardt.
Luggage & oversized items
Standard bags are covered by the fixed fare. 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. Carrying golf clubs, skis or a pram? Mention it and we’ll send the right vehicle.

For larger parties from Leichhardt our vans handle up to 11 in one private vehicle. Business travellers can book a corporate shuttle or a premium chauffeur service with account options, and we run cruise transfers to Circular Quay (OPT) and White Bay.

Meeting your driver before the drive back to Leichhardt
After you land, switch your phone on — your Leichhardt 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.
