Getting from Sydney Airport to Sydney by Shuttle Bus

Shuttle buses can take you from a specified point in the city to the airport, or you can get a shuttle to pick you up right from your doorstep. Airport Connect is a shuttle that can cheaply get you from the CBD in Sydney to the airport and vice versa for as low as $12 one way by booking online, but it is good to know that you an also pay your driver personally when he comes by.

Besides Airport Connect, Star Shuttle offers transfer services to/from the airport and hotels, as well as to certain day trip and event shuttles. EasyShuttle can be an option to a number of suburbs around Sydney, but you will definitely want to have a group lined up or else the price can be quite expensive.

Getting from Sydney Airport to Sydney by Taxi and Car

Taxis from the airport are always a plentiful option. If you need a taxi, simply follow the signs to the sheltered taxi stations that are at each terminal. A simple ride into Sydney city will set you back in the 30 AUD range – probably closer to 40 AUD — depending on where exactly you are heading combined with the current traffic conditions.

Australian car rental companies are located at the airport for your convenience. Once you pick up your rental car, you can start the drive to the city center, which may run anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the traffic situation and route. There are a couple of routes you can take, the main route being 16 kilometers in length.
