Up the Great Western Highway
The Blue Mountains towns stretch along the Great Western Highway and the railway line. Wentworth Falls, Leura, Katoomba and Blackheath are separate stops, each a bit further from Penrith than the last. Being able to be picked up from your address, rather than getting to a station, makes a difference when you have luggage, mobility needs or a schedule to keep.
See the arrival pages for Katoomba, Leura, Wentworth Falls and Blackheath.
Who books this route
Typical bookings include visitors staying at guesthouses, wedding guests, and groups heading up for a lookout or a weekend away. Penrith is also the meeting point for people who have arrived by train and want the last leg door to door, or who live in the outer west and are heading up for an event.
Weather, weekends and timing
Mountain weather changes quickly, and winter mornings can be cold and misty. Long weekends and good-weather Saturdays bring extra traffic on the highway, so we suggest choosing your pickup time with a margin, especially if you have a booking at the other end. Tell us the time you need to arrive.
For exploring the area by car with a driver, see the Blue Mountains day trips page.
Vehicles for groups and luggage
A premium sedan (Lexus ES, Camry or similar) suits one or two people. A premium SUV (Kluger, Lexus RX, RAV4 or similar) suits three or four with bigger bags, and a people mover (Kia Carnival or similar) suits five or more. Vehicles are assigned by passengers, luggage and availability, so tell us if you are bringing prams, bikes or other items.
Returning and airport links

Special occasions and events
Weddings, birthdays and anniversary weekends often bring people up to the mountains from western Sydney. If you are organising travel for a group, book early and give us the venue name, not only the town, because Blue Mountains venues can be hard to find on winding roads. Tell us the time you need to arrive and we work backwards from there.
Late finishes are common at events. If you need a pickup for the return trip after an evening function, book it in advance and tell us the expected finishing time. Nights and weekends are busy, so early booking helps.
We also handle pickups from local accommodation, so you can leave your own car at home and avoid the highway after a celebration.
Before you book
Wentworth Falls, Leura, Katoomba, Blackheath and neighbouring towns. Enter your destination in the booking form and we quote a fixed fare.
No. The fare is fixed in advance and confirmed in writing before pickup.
Yes. Book the return as its own fixed fare, or ask about it when you request your quote.
Regional bookings outside Greater Sydney can carry a 12-hour minimum hold. We confirm it with you when quoting.
No. We are Sydney Fixed Fare Taxi, an independent booking service. We are not affiliated with any silver service taxi co-operative. Some customers look for a silver service style ride, meaning a clean, well-presented car and a professional driver, and want the price locked in before they travel instead of watching a meter. That is the alternative we offer.
