Circular Quay / OPT to Penrith Cruise Transfer

Private Shuttle from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay to Penrith

Prime Rider Shuttle is a Sydney private-hire operator. For Penrith 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.

65-90 min is the normal running time between Penrith 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.

You will never be charged above the quoted fare, regardless of what the roads do on the day. Tolls and GST are covered and there are no booking fees.

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.

What to Expect on the Day

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.

Luggage handling is included — your driver loads and unloads. For large suitcases, or more than two per person, the People Mover or Mini Bus is the class to choose.

The Return Transfer

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: 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.
