Cruise Transfers Between Circular Quay and Mosman
Our Circular Quay work is a large part of what we do. Transfers to and from Mosman are quoted as a single fixed fare, confirmed by email, and driven by someone who has used the terminal's pick-up zones before.
The drive between the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and Mosman usually takes 25-40 min, and traffic on a turnaround day is the main variable. Our drivers know the drop-off zones, the embarkation bays and the passenger pick-up areas at every Sydney cruise terminal.
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.
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.
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.
Booking Both Directions
Return transfers carry a 10% discount with the promo code . The service runs around the clock every day of the year, which matters when a ship berths at an hour nobody planned for.
Cancellation: free with at least 24 hours’ notice. If you cancel after the driver has arrived, 50% of the fare applies. Maximum waiting time at non-airport pickups is 10 minutes from the driver’s arrival.

How the Circular Quay to Mosman Run Works
Cruise passengers travel heavier than airline passengers. That single fact changes the vehicle you need for a Circular Quay to Mosman run, and it is the thing most on-demand bookings get wrong.
Pricing from Circular Quay to Mosman starts at $79 and steps up with the vehicle, not the head count — $99, $129 and $169 for the larger classes. Count the bags before you choose.
Coming home is the harder direction to time. Ships clear customs in waves, so your driver waits on your message rather than a clock, and meets you where you can actually reach.
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.
