Pick Up and Other Information

Sydney airport to Balmain: the duration of your journey

One of the first things you need to know is your travel times. On average, your journey will take 32-35 minutes. But in peak hour, this can vary a little. Usually, it takes 22-45 minutes getting to Balmain during peak periods, and 24-50 minutes getting to the airport. Off peak, the times relax a little with travel times of 18-30 minutes to Balmain, and 22-30 to the airport. But regardless of the traffic conditions, your personal Car Australia chauffeur will be sure to take the most efficient route possible.

Sydney airport: where to go for pick ups and drop offs

When you arrive at the Sydney airport, there are a few places you can go for collection. In the international terminal, you can go to the express pick up section in the P9 car park. In the domestic terminals, you can choose between the kerbside pick up spaces, the priority pick up section, the express pick up section, or the blue emu pick up section. When you make your decision, it’s worth noting that the priority pick up section is the closest – although it does incur a fee starting at $4. When you go from Balmain to Sydney airport, you will have a few drop off options too. For the international terminal, you can go to the departure level where there is an abundance of drop off spaces, including designated disability areas. The same applies for the domestic terminals, where you can find drop off areas on the departures levels. However, you will need to prepare for immediate drop-offs, because security requirements prohibit standing for more than a minute or two.
