Arriving by air?
We plan your pickup around your flight — waiting time included.
Fixed fare quoted upfront · Nothing added on the day
Wollongong and the wider Illawarra sit outside the metropolitan area, so these journeys are arranged rather than booked against a standing rate. Tell us the date, the pickup and where you are going, and we confirm a fixed fare in writing.
Airport connections are the most common reason for the trip. A chauffeur from the Illawarra to Sydney Airport removes both the drive and the cost of leaving a car parked for the length of a trip, and on the return leg we watch the flight so a delay moves the pickup rather than ending the booking.
The rest is point-to-point work in both directions — into Sydney for business or an event, and back again afterwards. Where a group is travelling, the larger classes carry the people and the luggage in one vehicle.
The area
Wollongong, the northern villages and the coast south.
The Illawarra runs a long way down the coast: Helensburgh and Stanwell Park at the northern end, then Thirroul, Bulli and Corrimal into Wollongong, and on through Shellharbour to Kiama.
The northern approach is the Grand Pacific Drive and the Sea Cliff Bridge, which is the scenic route rather than the quick one. The M1 through the ranges is the faster way, and which we use depends on what the journey is for.
Why this service

- Flight-aware arrivals, with waiting time included
- A fixed fare on a journey outside the metro area
- One vehicle for a group and its luggage
How it works
Airport connections are the usual reason.
Most Illawarra bookings are a connection with Sydney Airport in one direction or the other. It is roughly ninety minutes each way, which is long enough that leaving a car parked at the terminal for a week stops being the cheaper option.
Arrivals are planned around the flight so the waiting is already accounted for. Because the region sits outside the metropolitan area, these journeys are arranged on request and quoted as a fixed fare before you travel.

Questions
Wollongong & Illawarra questions.
How far is Wollongong from Sydney?
Around 85 kilometres south, generally an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half by road depending on traffic and the route.
Do you transfer from Sydney Airport to Wollongong?
Yes, as a direct one-way transfer with a fixed fare quoted before you travel.
Which route do you take?
Usually the motorway south. The coastal route through the escarpment is slower but far more scenic — worth asking for if you are not in a hurry.
Do you cover the wider Illawarra?
Yes — Shellharbour, Kiama and the surrounding areas are all served, with distance reflected in the fare.
Can you collect for an early flight out of Sydney?
Yes, and it needs planning: from the Illawarra an early departure means leaving well before dawn, which is exactly when pre-booking matters.
