Terminals
Sydney Airport
A curfew stops jet movements between 11pm and 6am, so the very late and very early runs that exist in other cities do not exist here.
Worth knowing
T1 is not next to T2 and T3
Runway 16R/34L runs between the international terminal and the two domestic ones. Sydney Airport tells connecting passengers to allow 30 minutes to an hour. T2 and T3 are side by side, so the only Sydney terminal mistake that really costs you is confusing T1 with either.
What it costs
Priced per trip
Sydney fares are quoted on the route rather than read off a table. Same rules as everywhere else: one fixed price, quoted before you book, GST and the airport pickup fee inside it, and it does not move for traffic or time of day.
One price, agreed before you travel
The fare above is what your card is charged. No meter, no surge, no night loading, and no adjustment afterwards because the traffic was bad.

Sydney questions
Do you cover all of Sydney?
Yes, and beyond it: Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast and Canberra.
Which terminal do I need?
T1 is not next to T2 and T3. Runway 16R/34L runs between the international terminal and the two domestic ones. Sydney Airport tells connecting passengers to allow 30 minutes to an hour. T2 and T3 are side by side, so the only Sydney terminal mistake that really costs you is confusing T1 with either.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes. The fare you are quoted is what your card is charged, including GST and the airport pickup fee. It does not change for traffic or time of day.
How much free waiting do I get?
45 minutes on an international arrival and 20 on a domestic one, counted from when the aircraft is on the ground rather than from the time you booked.
