Sydney Airport taxi bookings

Request a taxi to or from Sydney Airport. Choose your terminal, add your flight number for a pickup, and see a fare estimate before you send the request.

Who this suits

  • Arriving passengers who want a cab arranged before they land rather than joining the rank queue.
  • Departing passengers who want the trip booked ahead for a specific time.
  • Travellers with luggage who need to know the vehicle size before booking.
  • Anyone who wants an indicative fare in writing before committing.

How to request it

  1. 1

    Choose Airport booking on the home page, then pick whether it is an airport pickup or drop-off and select T1, T2 or T3.

  2. 2

    Add your pickup and destination, passenger and luggage numbers, and your flight number if we are collecting you.

  3. 3

    Review the fare estimate and payment option, then send the request. You will get confirmation once dispatch has reviewed it.

Availability

  • Booking requests can be sent at any time. Dispatch confirmation depends on availability.
  • Adding a flight number helps dispatch account for a changed arrival time, but it does not guarantee that a driver will be held.
  • For terminal layouts, pickup zones and current airport access arrangements, check the official Sydney Airport website before you travel.
  • Submitting the form sends a booking request. It is not an accepted ride until dispatch confirms it, and a fare estimate does not guarantee that a driver is available.

Fares and payment

Airport trips use a minimum fare: $45 for a recognised airport pickup and $40 for a recognised airport drop-off. A recognised airport pickup also includes an airport pickup toll.

The booking flow shows an estimated range before you submit. The server recalculates the exact fare from your route and options before any payment is authorised, so the estimate and the confirmed fare are always shown as separate things.

You can pay the driver, use Cabcharge/TTSS, or pay online by card where eligible. A non-cash payment surcharge of up to 5% (incl. GST) may apply. It applies only to website-processed card payments — no website surcharge is added to Pay to Driver or Cabcharge/TTSS.

Full detail is in our fare pricing policy and payment policy.

Common questions

Can I book an airport pickup in advance?
Yes. Choose Book for Later and set the pickup date and time in Sydney time. Advance requests can be sent up to 90 days ahead.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Add your flight number when you book so dispatch has it on the request. If your arrival changes significantly, call us on the number above so the booking can be updated. We cannot guarantee that a driver will wait for an extended delay.
Is the fare I see the final price?
The figure shown while you are filling in the form is an estimated range. The exact fare is recalculated by the server from your route and options before payment is authorised, and that confirmed amount is what applies.
Which terminals can I choose?
T1 International, T2 Domestic and T3 Domestic. Select the terminal in the airport panel when you start an airport booking.
Can I pay online for an airport booking?
Online card payment is available for pickups within the next six days, because card authorisations are time-limited. For a pickup further ahead, choose Pay to Driver or Cabcharge/TTSS.
Where do I meet the driver at the airport?
Dispatch will confirm the arrangements for your booking. We do not publish terminal meeting points here, because airport pickup arrangements change — check the official Sydney Airport website for current information.
