Journey: Sydney Airport To Darling Harbour

Darling Harbour is one of Sydney’s most iconic areas. Positioned adjacent to the Sydney CBD, it is about 25 kilometres from the airport. Getting between the two is pretty straightforward as well. You can choose from a range of public transport options, including trains and buses. Or you could choose between other services like taxis and hire cars. But these transport options simply don’t offer the convenience, efficiency, and comfort of a Car Australia transfer or shuttle. Public transport in Sydney can take a while to work out, and the journey itself is not very direct. Taxis are expensive and don’t always accommodate large groups. On top of that, the price you pay doesn’t necessarily reflect the service you receive. Then there are hire cars, which might seem like a good idea until you need to find a park in inner-city Sydney.

Your best option for getting from Sydney airport to Darling Harbour is always going to be a transfer from Car Australia. We offer door-to- door service, all day and all night. So regardless of when you’re travelling, we can help. With one of our transfers, you also get to choose from a range of premium and luxury vehicles.

Sydney airport to Darling Harbour: Navigating pick up and drop off sections at the airport

Another thing Sydney is known for is its massive airport. Sydney airport is Australia’s largest, and it has one international terminal and two domestic terminals. Then there are the pick up and drop off zones that service all terminals. Fortunately, it’s not as busy or confusing as it sounds. If you’re arriving at the international terminal, simply go to the arrivals road for kerbside pick up. Or, better still, go to express pick up in the P9 car park. If you’re departing from the international terminal, all you need to do is go to the departures road. There, you will find plenty of kerbside spaces, including some disabled access zones. If you’re arriving at one of the domestic terminals, you have a few more pick up and drop off options. If you’re in a bit of a hurry, we recommend priority pick up. It’s only four minutes’ walk from the terminal, but it does cost money – the fee starts at $4. You also need an e-Tag to pay. If you want to beat that charge, you can go to express pick up, which is an extra four minutes’ walk from priority.

Then, finally, there’s the blue emu pick up section. That section is connected to the terminals by a shuttle bus, which leaves every fifteen minutes. There are also kerbside pick up spaces on the arrivals road, and kerbside drop off spaces on the departures road.
