Read the waiting time & cancellation rules
  • • Free waiting starts the minute your aircraft is on the ground, not at your scheduled time: 20 minutes domestic, 30 minutes international.
  • • After the free window, waiting is charged at $0.80 per minute of idle time. No other late fees.
  • • If your flight is diverted, held in a holding pattern or badly delayed, we email you straight away with the extra waiting cost so you can hold the driver or release the booking.
  • • Cancel or change more than 30 minutes before landing and there is no charge. Once the driver is reserved inside that 30 minutes, a cancellation is 40% of the quoted fare.
  • • Severe weather, a major accident or a road closure can add time to the trip — the waiting rate is the only extra, and we tell you before it starts.

Airport pickup questions

Where does the driver meet me at Sydney Airport?
For an international arrival we meet you inside the T1 arrivals hall with your name. For T2 and T3 we meet you at the terminal pickup point, or at the priority/rideshare zone if you prefer. Your driver's details are sent to you before landing.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number, so the pickup moves with the aircraft. Free waiting time is included while you clear baggage and customs on international arrivals.
Can I pay with Cabcharge or a corporate account?
Yes. We accept Cabcharge card and FastCard, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, EFTPOS, Apple Pay, Google Pay and monthly corporate invoicing. Cabcharge trips are booked by phone on 1300 512 424.
Can I get a fixed fare before I book?
Yes. Enter your terminal and destination in the booking form and you'll see the fare including tolls before you confirm, and you can pay upfront by card.
Do you carry child seats and wheelchairs?
Child seats can be requested in the booking notes. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available — please call so we send the right vehicle.
How early should I book an airport pickup?
Pre-book any time up to weeks ahead. For early morning and late night arrivals we recommend booking the day before so a car is held for your flight.
