Private cruise transfer, Garden Island to Hurstville. From $79 for the vehicle, not per seat, with the pickup timed against your boarding window.
Tolls & GST included • Fixed price
Prime Rider Shuttle runs fixed-price private transfers between Garden Island Cruise Terminal and Hurstville — one vehicle, one fare, booked before the day rather than hailed on it. Both directions are handled the same way, whether you are heading out on a sailing or coming home from one.
25-40 min is the normal running time between Hurstville 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.
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.
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.
A confirmation email lands straight after booking. Closer to the time, the assigned driver phones to agree exactly where to meet, whether that is your door in Hurstville or the passenger exit at Garden Island. Nothing else is required of you.
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.
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.
Changes and cancellations: cancel more than 24 hours ahead at no cost. After the driver arrives, 50% of the fare is payable. Non-airport pickups allow a 10 minute wait.
Over 812 verified reviews, 4.95 stars and thousands of successful cruise terminal transfers across Sydney.
Baby seats for children up to 3 years and boosters for ages 4–7, fitted before pickup when you request them at booking.
Early-morning departures and late-night arrivals. Prime Rider dispatches around the clock.
Twenty-four hours' notice cancels the booking at no cost. Date changes are free.
Every tunnel and motorway toll on the route sits inside the price.
Written confirmation covers price, vehicle, timing and driver contact.
Card with EFTPOS (1.8% surcharge), cash to the driver, or PayID with no surcharge. No deposit.

Fill in the quote form with where you are going from and to, the date and time, and how many people and bags.
Our team checks the route and the right vehicle, then emails your fixed fare — usually within the hour. Tolls and GST included.
One reply accepts the quote and locks the booking in at that fare. A confirmation email comes straight back.
Fixed fare, luggage loaded for you, and the walk from the vehicle to the terminal door rather than from a car park.
The Garden Island to Hurstville 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.
Pricing from Garden Island to Hurstville 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.
Book both legs together where you can. One reference number, one confirmation, and a driver already allocated for the morning you step off — which is the harder of the two directions to arrange late.
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.
Prime Rider is a pre-booked private operator, not a rideshare platform. For a Garden Island run that matters: the vehicle is allocated before the day, the fare is agreed in writing, and nobody cancels on you while you are standing next to your luggage.
Yes. Multiple pickups in Hurstville and nearby suburbs can be sequenced into one booking and quoted as a single fixed fare.
Up to eleven in one Mini Bus. Larger groups run as a convoy under a single booking so everyone arrives in the same window.
The berth handles large international vessels when the OPT is at capacity. Your driver is briefed on the terminal layout whichever line you are sailing with.
Yes — airport transfers are our main business, and many cruise passengers book the terminal transfer and the airport run together.
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.
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.
