Circular Quay to Burwood — Private Cruise Transfers
Our Circular Quay work is a large part of what we do. Transfers to and from Burwood are quoted as a single fixed fare, confirmed by email, and driven by someone who has used the terminal's pick-up zones before.
25-40 min is the normal running time between Burwood and Circular Quay. We build the pickup around the boarding time printed on your cruise documents, not around the ship's departure time, because the lines stagger arrivals deliberately.
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.
You pay the driver at the end of the trip — card via EFTPOS (1.8% surcharge), or cash or PayID with no surcharge. Nothing is charged when you book and no card details are stored.
On the Day of Travel
Booking confirmation arrives by email. The driver calls you before the pickup to confirm exactly where to stand or where to wait, which is the difference between finding each other in two minutes and in twenty.
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.
Return Journeys
If you need the trip home as well, use the code for 10% off the return booking. Prime Rider runs 24/7 — pre-dawn departures and late-night arrivals are ordinary work for us.
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.
Getting from Circular Quay / OPT to Burwood
About Overseas Passenger Terminal (Circular Quay)
the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay sits at Circular Quay West, Sydney NSW 2000, the terminal right on the harbour in the middle of the city. Access is via Alfred Street then Circular Quay West, and your driver will be waiting in the terminal's designated pick-up zone rather than circling the block.
Because parking is wilson Parking Circular Quay, most passengers book both directions and leave the car in the driveway. It is usually cheaper than the terminal-area alternative and always simpler.
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.
- Distance from CBD: ~0 km
- Berths: 2
- Transfer time to Burwood: 25-40 min
- Fixed fare: from $79

Circular Quay to Burwood — What to Expect
The Circular Quay to Burwood leg is short, and that is precisely why it gets left to the last minute. It is also the leg where a missed boarding window costs the most.
Expect $79 for a Sedan, $99 for a Large SUV, $129 for a People Mover and $169 for a Mini Bus. One fare, one vehicle, no per-bag charges and no airport-style extras.
For disembarkation, expect the kerb to be congested — everybody leaves at once. Your driver messages you before you walk off and nominates a meeting point that is reachable rather than merely close.
Flying either side of the cruise? Tell us both legs. Airport work is the core of what we do, and the same fixed-fare arrangement covers the whole itinerary.
We hold NSW Booking Service Provider authorisation and every driver is CPV-accredited and police-checked. Cruise work is repeat work for us, and the terminals are known ground rather than an address in a satnav.
