Fixed-price private shuttle between the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and Blacktown. Around 50-70 min, from $119, with luggage assistance and 24/7 dispatch. No surge pricing, no meter.
Tolls & GST included • Fixed price
This is a private, pre-booked transfer between the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and Blacktown. You book the whole vehicle, the price is agreed in writing at the time, and the driver is allocated in advance rather than matched at the kerb on the morning.
Expect 50-70 min on the road in ordinary conditions. Because the terminal fills and empties in waves, we would rather collect you a little early than have you queue outside with your cases.
Whatever the quoted price is at booking, that is what you pay. Tolls and GST are included, there is no booking fee, and delays on the road are our problem rather than a line on your invoice.
Payment is taken on the day of travel. Cards are accepted through EFTPOS with a 1.8% surcharge, and cash or PayID carry no surcharge at all. No deposit is required and no card is held at booking.
You receive an email confirmation as soon as the booking is made. Shortly before the pickup time your driver calls you directly to confirm the exact meeting point — at your Blacktown address, or at the Circular Quay passenger exit. There is no app to download and no SMS chain to follow.
Drivers load and unload the luggage themselves. Cruise cases are bigger than airline cases, so if you are carrying several, book a Lux People Mover or Mini Bus rather than hoping the boot stretches.
Booking both directions at once is the simpler arrangement, and the promo code takes 10% off the return leg. We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so an early embarkation or a late berthing is routine rather than a special request.
Cancellation policy: no charge when you give 24 hours’ notice or more; 50% of the fare once the driver has arrived. At non-airport pickups the driver waits up to 10 minutes.
The Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay — the terminal right on the harbour in the middle of the city — sits at Circular Quay West, Sydney NSW 2000. Drivers reach it via Alfred Street then Circular Quay West and wait in the marked pick-up area, which saves the phone call that usually follows a vague meeting point.
Wilson Parking Circular Quay. That is the whole case for a transfer in one line — nothing to find, nothing to pay for daily, and nothing waiting for you at the end of the cruise.
The berth handles all major international cruise lines, and with 2 berths in operation the arrival window is tight. Your driver is briefed on which gate your line uses.

A Circular Quay to Blacktown transfer is worth pre-booking for one reason: on the day, the terminal kerb is the busiest place in the itinerary, and a vehicle that was allocated yesterday beats one being matched right now.
Pricing from Circular Quay to Blacktown starts at $119 and steps up with the vehicle, not the head count — $139, $179 and $229 for the larger classes. Count the bags before you choose.
Book both legs together where you can. One reference number, one confirmation, and a driver already allocated for the morning you step off — which is the harder of the two directions to arrange late.
Everything on this page — the fare bands, the journey time, the terminal notes — is here so you can check it before booking rather than discover it on the day. If a quote does not match, tell us.
Dispatch is Sydney-based and answers 24 hours a day. If the ship berths late, one call reaches somebody who can see both your booking and your driver's position.
