Maroubra to the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and back, at a price agreed before you travel — from $79, roughly 25-40 min, with room for cruise luggage rather than carry-on.
Tolls & GST included • Fixed price
Between Maroubra and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay we operate a private door-to-door service at a fixed fare. No meter, no surge pricing and no shared seats — the car that arrives is yours for the journey.
Expect 25-40 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.
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.
Nothing is payable up front. On the day you can settle by card on the in-car EFTPOS terminal, which carries a 1.8% surcharge, or by cash or PayID, which do not.
Once the booking is in, you will have it in writing by email. Your driver then calls ahead of the pickup to fix the meeting point precisely — useful at Circular Quay, where 'out the front' means very little on a busy morning.
Loading is the driver's job, not yours. Book the larger classes if you are travelling with full-size cruise luggage, because the difference between a Sedan and an SUV here is measured in suitcases.
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.

Collected at your Maroubra address and delivered to the Circular Quay passenger drop-off — luggage handled at both ends.
A Circular Quay to Maroubra 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.
The fare buys the vehicle: $79 Sedan, $99 Large SUV, $129 People Mover, $169 Mini Bus. A family of four with four cruise cases needs the SUV, and booking it now costs less than sorting it out on the kerb.
Booking both legs at once is the small decision that saves the most trouble — one reference, one confirmation, and a vehicle already assigned for the day you step off the ship.
If you are combining the cruise with a flight, tell us both. We run the airport side of this business every day and can hold the same fixed-fare arrangement across the whole trip.
This is a pre-booked private service. The vehicle is assigned before the day, the fare is in writing, and no algorithm reassigns your driver while you are standing at the kerb with four cases.
Simply visit our online booking page, enter Overseas Passenger Terminal (Circular Quay) as your pickup and Maroubra as your drop-off, select your vehicle and confirm. You will receive email confirmation immediately.
