How Other Options Compare

Taxi Pricing

Sydney taxis charge: $3.60 flag fall + $2.19/km + $0.94/min waiting + $4.60 airport surcharge + tolls. A CBD trip typically costs $45-75 depending on traffic. Night rates (10 PM-6 AM) add 20%. No fixed pricing means no cost certainty.

Uber/Rideshare

Base fare $25-40 to CBD during off-peak. During surge pricing (rain, peak hours, events), the same trip can cost $60-100+. Airport pickup fees apply.

Save With Return Bookings

Booking a return transfer (pickup + drop-off) saves 10% compared to two one-way bookings. For a CBD return trip, that's a saving of $13 on a sedan transfer.
