Circular Quay to Cronulla — Private Cruise Transfers
Prime Rider Shuttle is a Sydney private-hire operator. For Cronulla passengers sailing from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay, that means a booked vehicle at a set price, with the timing built around your boarding window rather than a guess.
35-55 min is the normal running time between Cronulla 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.
Fares are quoted per vehicle and locked in at booking — tolls and GST included, no booking fee, no per-bag charge and no airport-style extras added at the end.
Settlement happens on the day: EFTPOS card payments attract a 1.8% surcharge, while cash and PayID attract none. No deposit, no stored card, no charge at the time of booking.
What Happens After You Book
A confirmation email lands straight after booking. Closer to the time, the assigned driver phones to agree exactly where to meet, whether that is your door in Cronulla or the passenger exit at Circular Quay. Nothing else is required of you.
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.
If plans change: cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Once the driver is on site, 50% of the fare applies, and the driver will wait 10 minutes at non-airport pickups.

The Practical Detail for Cronulla Passengers
Most Cronulla passengers could technically drive to Circular Quay. The question is what happens to the car for the next fortnight, and what the kerb looks like when four thousand people arrive inside the same two hours.
The four fare bands are $99, $119, $149 and $199. Cruise cases are larger than airline cases, so the class that fits your group on a normal trip is often one size small here.
If you are flying the same day, build in more margin than feels necessary. Disembarkation runs late more often than it runs early, and an afternoon flight is a much calmer plan than a morning one.
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.
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.
Circular Quay / OPT to Cronulla Transfer FAQ
Yes, if the dates are known. Disembarkation is the harder direction to arrange late, and booking both legs together gives you one reference and a pre-allocated driver.
We follow the vessel schedule and adjust the pickup at no charge. If you are held up in the terminal, message your driver and they will wait.
Yes. Multiple pickups in Cronulla and nearby suburbs can be sequenced into one booking and quoted as a single fixed fare.
Yes — airport transfers are our main business, and many cruise passengers book the terminal transfer and the airport run together.
Parking here is wilson Parking Circular Quay — which is the usual reason passengers book a transfer instead of driving and leaving a car for the length of a cruise.
The berth handles all major international cruise lines. Your driver is briefed on the terminal layout whichever line you are sailing with.
