OPT · Circular Quay · The Rocks
The Overseas Passenger Terminal sits at Circular Quay, under the Harbour Bridge and opposite the Opera House. We run fixed-fare transfers there from every suburb we serve, with the cases carried to the kerb.
The terminal
The Overseas Passenger Terminal is the one most large international ships use — at Circular Quay, on the Rocks side, under the Bridge and opposite the Opera House. It is the more central of Sydney's two terminals and the more congested: the heritage streets around it are heavily managed on a turnaround morning, when two thousand people arrive inside the same two hours. Kerbside drop-off is at the terminal doors, but we name a specific meeting spot on a pickup rather than saying "outside".
Check your ticket before you assume the OPT — the same cruise line uses both terminals depending on the ship, and White Bay is a long way across the harbour. Arriving at the wrong one on departure morning is the most expensive mistake a cruise passenger can make.
An OPT transfer is thirty dollars over the Sydney Airport fare from your suburb — the harbour CBD run is a little longer and harder than Mascot. White Bay is ten dollars less than that. Tolls, GST, luggage handling and waiting time are inside the number, and we size up the vehicle for cruise luggage by default. See every fare.

The fleet
Every transfer is a private, late-model vehicle sized to your group — never a shared van and never a stranger in the next seat. These are the four that run the range.
One or two passengers with cases. The default for couples and solo travellers on an early Mascot run.
Three or four with full-size cases. The step up when the sedan boot runs out before the party does.
Five or six travelling together, with room for cruise-sized luggage rather than cabin bags.
Seven to eleven seats. Extended families, wedding parties and work crews in one vehicle, one fare — not split across three cars.
Tell us the group size and what luggage is coming and the right vehicle is sent — prams, golf clubs, skis and wheelchairs travel at no extra cost.
These are our own transfers — the van at the Sydney Airport kerb, a full boot of the group’s suitcases, and customers dropped right at their cruise ship.
LithgowAirport Shuttle
Private, fixed-fare airport and cruise transfers from 65 suburbs across Lithgow, the western Blue Mountains and the upper mountains. Western Sydney Airport is the closer airport from every one of them — and sixty dollars cheaper. No surge, no late-night loading; paid in advance to lock in your vehicle.
