justluv2cruisewithhubby Posted August 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2017 can anyone recommend a good reliable shuttle service. A cab is too small for us as we have 3 adults with 3 large bags. Looking for shuttle from airport to hotel then from cruise to airport. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftygrandma Posted August 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Similar question, 2 adults, 4 large bags. Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted August 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I suggest you get a maxi taxi from the airport. It will have more space than you need. With three people I doubt that a shuttle would be any cheaper and we have found that the shuttle wastes too much time. They don't leave the airport until they are full then they go from hotel to hotel dropping people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted August 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2017 There is a train station at Sydney airport. Very convenient and the train stops at circular quay which is where some cruises depart from and a lot of good hotels are based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted August 14, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2017 There is a train station at Sydney airport. Very convenient and the train stops at circular quay which is where some cruises depart from and a lot of good hotels are based. I know a lot of people use the train, but for a few extra dollars we prefer the convenience of door-to-door and not having to get our luggage onto the train then off again at the other end. The cost in a taxi to either circular quay or White Bay would be around AUD$60 (around US$48). The rail fare is AUD$18 per adult. For the couple with four large bags (and presumably some smaller items), a maxi taxi would be much easier. I cannot imagine struggling with that much luggage onto and off a train, then walking a distance along the street. Just to save a few dollars.

The_Big_M Posted August 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2017 For Sydney, the main shuttle companies are Redy2go, and Kingsford Smith airport shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted August 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2017 For Sydney, the main shuttle companies are Redy2go, and Kingsford Smith airport shuttles. We have had a couple of bad experiences with Kingsford Smith Transport. We had long waits for pick-up then a tour of Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it seems like a lot of bags, but we will be on 4 legs and 5 days of land. 60 days total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I was not commenting on the amount of luggage. That is totally up to you. :) We usually travel with two large cases plus four pieces of hand luggage (two 'hand luggage' size, one computer bag and one large purse) and we wouldn't be bothered trying to manage on the train.

2016USAHoliday Posted August 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 19, 2017 We have used redy2go on numerous occasions. Were fantastic at getting hubby to the airport from the ship for a 10am flight. They knew he would be pushing it, so were there ready and waiting and left straight away. Then on arrival at opt, after travelling for 4 months, our 12 bags were not an issue. (1 large case, 1 carry on case & 1 small bag x 4 people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
