Skip the airport counter

Airport car rental desks charge premium rates and surcharges. By picking up in Chippendale instead, you avoid those costs. The drive to Sydney Airport takes about 15 minutes via the M1, or you can take the train from Central to the airport and pick up the car for your return.

Getting from the airport to Chippendale

The Airport Link train runs from both the domestic and international terminals to Central Station, which is a 5-minute walk from our Chippendale pickup locations. The trip takes about 15 minutes. Alternatively, a rideshare from the airport to Chippendale costs around $20-30.

Vehicles suited for airport trips

For airport runs with luggage, we recommend our mid-size sedans or SUVs which offer ample boot space. If you are picking up family or a group, consider our people movers or vans.
