About  Sydney

First time visiting Sydney in a while? Here are some helpful insights around Australia's largest city.
About the Sydney Airport
Map of Sydney

Also known as the Mascot or the Kingsford Smith Airport, Sydney airport is the main airport serving the city and linking it to the outside world. It is also the busiest International airport in Australia handling anywhere from forty to fifty million passengers a year. The airport has three terminals, one international terminal and two domestic terminals. Sydney Airport is located just nine kilometres from Sydney CBD.

The airport is not a forgiving place if you don’t know your way around, and if you either pickup or drop a passenger in the wrong spot, the closed circuit cameras will pick up your licence plate number and send you a fine in the mail, so be careful and make sure to follow all signage and road rules.

Getting to the Sydney Airport

Getting to the airport should be relatively easy. That said, we’ve shared with you the ETA to the airport from the CBD and surrounding suburbs so you can plan your pick up times accordingly.

It shouldn’t take more than 35 minutes to get to the airport from the CBD. That said, you should give ample allowance time, in the event of anything. Newton has a similar ETA to the CBD. It will take you approximately 45 minutes to get to the airport from Manly, 35 minutes from Balmain, 30 minutes from Glebe, 20 minutes from Randwick, 45 minutes from Parramatta, 30 minutes from Cronulla, 20 minutes from Surry Hills and 20 minutes from Paddington.

We always recommend that during peak hour traffic you allow a bit of axtra time for all of your airport transfers. And speciffically on the week ends the entry to the international terminal can get quite busy, and the netry alone can take a good 15 to 20 minutes.

Getting our of the Sydney Airport

As in Melbourne, transport in Sydney should be hassle-free. There several ways to get to your destination. You could rent a car, although first-time visitors may have it rough on the roads. From the arrivals terminal, you can catch a train to the CBD. You could also use an airport shuttle service to catch a shuttle bus. Sydney buses are also available.  Please note that the train from the airport  will charge you a terminal access fee of 13.80 dollars per person, so if you have 4 passengers, it might be cheaper in one of our cars.

COD has considerable experience doing Sydney airport transfers. Our airport transfer service is at your disposal to ensure that you reach your destination in comfort and style. Our fleet comprises of luxury sedans both local and European for private transfers as well as 7-12 seater people movers (minibuses). More information on this below. Every 28 minutes we are dropping off a satsfied customer to or from and airport, across Australia.

Depending of what time of the day you arrive, mostly all of the lfights land between 6am and 930am, this causes very long queues at the taxi ranks so please factor this into your travel time, it can take up to 25 minutes sometimes just to get into a taxi after waiting in the long queues, sadly there is no shortage of taxis but the queue system is not very efficient.

Nothing beats getting off a plane after a long flight and being met by a professional chauffeur, who will take you to your destination in the fastest most direct route and without having to ask you for directions, you can just sit back and relax in the back of our cars and let us do the driving.Or attend to your urgent emails and phone calls. all of our drivers have signed a confidentiality clause and what is said in our cars stays in our cars.

Once a Penal Colony, Sydney has long since shaken off its checkered past, instead of emerging as of a beacon of hope and redemption. Located on the East Coast of Australia the city rises out of the pacific ocean, a fact that makes it an ideal living location. More than four and a half million people call Sydney home and for good reason too.

Sydney is one of the world’s most liveable cities. The city enjoys year-round sunshine, an aspect that is coveted world over.  Sydney serves as the capital of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW).

Once a place of exile, Sydney transformed itself into one of the most beautiful and iconic cities in the world. True to its past and heritage, expect to see exquisite Victorian architecture within the city. Home to some of the most iconic buildings of the world, the Sydney Opera House is instantly recognizable by anyone, anywhere in the world.

Well serviced public gardens such as Sydney Botanical Gardens are common around the city. Sydney boasts beautiful suburbs, from inner-city of Paddington to Rosebay and many beachside communities.

Frequently asked questions

Questions? Here are some answers.
What areas of Sydney do you service?

We cover all of the Sydney greater region and surrounds, but these are some of our most popular serviced suburbs:

- The Sydney CBD
- North Sydney
- North Ryde
- Chatswood
- Baulkham Hills
- Manly
- Newport
- Collaroy
- St Ives
- Bondi

Please note, because we only use real hire cars that have access to bus lanes, we do quite a bit of transfers to and from the north shore as bus lane access from those suburbs is crucial and in some cases can save up to 60 minutes of travel time.

Some of the most popular suburbs in Sydney for corporates are North Ryde where most of the tech companies are based as well as pharma companies. Then we have the business hubs of Chatswood and North Sydney.

But no suburb is out of reach and we also do lengthy transfers as far as Orange, Bathurst, and we have even taken some people to Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra when there has been dire delays and flight cancellations at Sydney Airport.

What if our flight is delayed? Or cancelled?

If your flight is delayed it's okay! Our driver monitors your flight information, and will have real time updates on your planes whereabouts.

If your flight is cancelled all you need to do is call us with your new flight details, or update them on your app.

Where do I meet drivers? What do I do if I can't see him/her?

We have meeting points all across Australia, these are listed in the confirmation of your transfer sheet, and most importantly please turn your phone on and you will get a text from the driver, any issues you can also contact us on our 24/7 hotline +61413905215

Can I book a guest and pay for it?

Yes you can, and the guest will not need to pay in the car, but it’s also a good idea to make sure that we have their contact number to make sure the transfer goes smoothly, and we also mask all phone numbers

We have both Android and iOS apps, and you can book through the app if you are the traveller, and track the driver and communicate with them as well through the app.
