Fixed-Fare Transfers, Garden Island to Rockdale
Our Garden Island work is a large part of what we do. Transfers to and from Rockdale are quoted as a single fixed fare, confirmed by email, and driven by someone who has used the terminal's pick-up zones before.
Allow 25-40 min for the journey, more on an embarkation morning when several thousand passengers arrive inside the same window. Knowing which approach is moving is the part that a familiar driver actually saves you.
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.
From Booking to Kerbside
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 Rockdale or the passenger exit at Garden Island. Nothing else is required of you.
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
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.
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.

Garden Island to Rockdale, in Plain Terms
A Garden Island to Rockdale transfer is worth pre-booking for one reason: on the day, the terminal kerb is the busiest place in the itinerary, and a vehicle that was allocated yesterday beats one being matched right now.
Expect $79 for a Sedan, $99 for a Large SUV, $129 for a People Mover and $169 for a Mini Bus. One fare, one vehicle, no per-bag charges and no airport-style extras.
Booking both legs at once is the small decision that saves the most trouble — one reference, one confirmation, and a vehicle already assigned for the day you step off the ship.
The fares, times and terminal notes on this page are published so you can check them before booking. If a quote you receive does not line up with them, say so and we will explain why.
Dispatch is Sydney-based and answers 24 hours a day. If the ship berths late, one call reaches somebody who can see both your booking and your driver's position.
