Cruise transfers between Garden Island Cruise Terminal and Bankstown, quoted as one fixed fare from $99. Embarkation mornings and disembarkation queues are what we plan around.
Tolls & GST included • Fixed price
Passengers travelling between Bankstown and Garden Island Cruise Terminal book with us for the same two reasons: the fare does not move, and the vehicle is sized for cruise luggage rather than a weekend bag.
The drive between Garden Island Cruise Terminal and Bankstown usually takes 35-55 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.
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.
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.
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 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.

On the return leg your driver tracks the berthing time and meets you at an agreed spot away from the worst of the kerb.
The Garden Island to Bankstown 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.
The fare buys the vehicle: $99 Sedan, $119 Large SUV, $149 People Mover, $199 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.
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.
Passengers with mobility needs should say so at booking. Folding wheelchairs, walkers and assistance animals travel at no charge, and the driver will meet you closer to the terminal door.
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.
Card with EFTPOS (a 1.8% surcharge applies), cash to the driver, or PayID with no surcharge. Payment is due on the day of travel and no deposit is held.

Up to eleven in one Mini Bus. Larger groups run as a convoy under a single booking so everyone arrives in the same window.
Parking here is limited — shared with the Naval base — which is the usual reason passengers book a transfer instead of driving and leaving a car for the length of a cruise.
In the terminal's designated pick-up zone. Your driver messages you before you walk out and will nominate a specific spot — the kerb directly outside is usually the slowest option.
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.
