Sydney → Sydney CBD (city centre): key facts

A private transfer from Sydney Airport (SYD) to Sydney CBD (city centre) costs €75 per car for 1–3 passengers and €110 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 12 km via M1; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at: for international flights at the Meeting Point in the T1 Arrivals hall, after customs and baggage reclaim; for domestic flights in the T2 or T3 arrivals area by the baggage reclaim exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

The airport lies on the northern shore of Botany Bay in Mascot, about 10 km south of the city centre. From the international terminal the usual route follows Southern Cross Drive and the Eastern Distributor, a motorway with a toll for northbound traffic, which ends on the edge of the CBD near Darlinghurst and William Street. From the domestic terminals the route is similar. In weekday morning and evening peaks the Eastern Distributor and the streets around Central are often slow, and the CBD itself has many one-way streets and light rail along George Street.

The CBD stretches from Central Station in the south to Circular Quay on the harbour, with George Street, Pitt Street and Elizabeth Street running north to south. Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building and the Pitt Street Mall shopping area lie in the middle, Hyde Park on the eastern side, and Darling Harbour, Barangaroo and the convention centre on the western waterfront. George Street between Bathurst Street and Hunter Street is reserved for light rail and pedestrians, and Pitt Street Mall is pedestrian, so cars stop on the nearest cross street open to traffic.

Public transport instead: Sydney Trains train T8 Airport & South Line from International Airport station (T1) or Domestic Airport station (T2/T3) to Town Hall station (via Central, Museum, St James, Circular Quay and Wynyard on the City Circle), frequent, every day from 5am to midnight.
