Booking a Garden Island to Epping Transfer
Between Epping and Garden Island Cruise Terminal 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 35-55 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.
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.
Settlement happens on the day: EFTPOS card payments attract a 1.8% surcharge, while cash and PayID attract none. No deposit, no stored card, no charge at the time of booking.
What to Expect on the Day
You receive an email confirmation as soon as the booking is made. Shortly before the pickup time your driver calls you directly to confirm the exact meeting point — at your Epping address, or at the Garden Island passenger exit. There is no app to download and no SMS chain to follow.
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.
The Return Transfer
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.
Getting from Garden Island to Epping
About Garden Island Cruise Terminal
The address is Garden Island, Potts Point NSW 2011. Garden Island Cruise Terminal is the overflow berth used when the OPT is full, and the approach road is the Domain Tunnel then Mrs Macquaries Road — worth knowing because the last few hundred metres are where an embarkation morning actually slows down.
Because parking is limited — shared with the Naval base, most passengers book both directions and leave the car in the driveway. It is usually cheaper than the terminal-area alternative and always simpler.
Ships here are large international vessels when the OPT is at capacity, and the terminal is ~3 km from the CBD. Short on paper; the traffic on a turnaround day is what the schedule has to allow for.
- Distance from CBD: ~3 km
- Berths: 1
- Transfer time to Epping: 35-55 min
- Fixed fare: from $99

Planning Your Garden Island Transfer
For Epping passengers, Garden Island Cruise Terminal is close enough to feel casual and far enough with four suitcases to be worth arranging properly. We quote it as a fixed fare so the arrangement is settled before the day.
Quoted fares are $99, $119, $149 and $199 depending on the class, fixed at the time of booking. If the Harbour Bridge is crawling on the morning, that is our problem rather than a line on your invoice.
For disembarkation, expect the kerb to be congested — everybody leaves at once. Your driver messages you before you walk off and nominates a meeting point that is reachable rather than merely close.
Travelling with a group from Epping? Multiple pickups can be sequenced into one booking and quoted as a single fare, so the party reaches Garden Island together rather than in instalments.
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.
