Fixed-Fare Transfers, Garden Island to Chatswood
This is a private, pre-booked transfer between Garden Island Cruise Terminal and Chatswood. You book the whole vehicle, the price is agreed in writing at the time, and the driver is allocated in advance rather than matched at the kerb on the morning.
35-55 min is the normal running time between Chatswood and Garden Island. 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.
You pay the driver at the end of the trip — card via EFTPOS (1.8% surcharge), or cash or PayID with no surcharge. Nothing is charged when you book and no card details are stored.
From Booking to Kerbside
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.
Your driver deals with the bags at both ends. When the count is high, the sensible move is to size up to a People Mover or Mini Bus; it costs less than a second vehicle.
The Return Transfer
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.

Garden Island to Chatswood — What to Expect
The Garden Island to Chatswood 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.
Expect $99 for a Sedan, $119 for a Large SUV, $149 for a People Mover and $199 for a Mini Bus. One fare, one vehicle, no per-bag charges and no airport-style extras.
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.
Mention any mobility requirement when you book. Folding wheelchairs, walkers and assistance animals carry no surcharge, and the driver will meet you nearer the terminal entrance.
Our dispatch desk is in Sydney and staffed 24 hours. If your ship berths late or you clear the terminal early, the person answering the phone can see your booking and your driver.
