Leichhardt to Overseas Passenger Terminal Taxi — Fixed Fare from A$65

Fixed-fare Leichhardt to Overseas Passenger Terminal

Sydney Fixed Fare Taxi offers a transparent, fixed-fare taxi service between Leichhardt (2040) and Overseas Passenger Terminal (Circular Quay). From A$65, your fare is quoted before pickup — not after a metered ride with surprise tolls and surcharges added at the end. We're the alternative to metered silver service taxis for travellers who want to know the price before they get in the car.

Why a fixed fare from Leichhardt matters

A trip from Leichhardt to Overseas Passenger Terminal on a metered taxi can land anywhere between A$53 and A$90 depending on traffic, route choice, time-of-day multipliers, and tolls. With our fixed-fare service, that number is A$65. Full stop. If your driver hits unexpected traffic, that's our problem, not yours. The fare quoted is the fare charged.

What's included in your A$65 fare

Your fixed fare covers the entire driver run from your pickup point in Leichhardt to Overseas Passenger Terminal: distance, time, tolls, the airport-rank access surcharge (where applicable), and GST. No additional charges are added at drop-off. Cancellation more than 60 minutes before pickup is free.

About the Leichhardt pickup

Pickups in Leichhardt are dispatched from our local driver network. We typically have a driver within 5-10 minutes of any address in Leichhardt (2040 and surrounding streets). You'll receive a text 10 minutes before pickup with the driver's name and the vehicle's plate — so you know who's arriving.

About Overseas Passenger Terminal (Circular Quay)

Overseas Passenger Terminal (Circular Quay) handles all major cruise lines departing Sydney. On embarkation day, taxis surge into the area between 11am and 2pm — pre-booking a fixed fare guarantees both a vehicle and a known price. On disembarkation day, share your scheduled disembarkation time and we'll position a driver in the taxi rank just outside the terminal so you can roll your luggage straight in.

The vehicle that arrives

Our bookings are dispatched in clean, late-model premium vehicles — typically a Lexus or Toyota sedan (Lexus ES, Camry or similar). For 3+ passengers or extra luggage we send a premium SUV (Kluger, Lexus RX or similar); for groups and cruise transfers, a Kia Carnival people mover. The specific vehicle is assigned by dispatch based on passengers, luggage and availability — we don't promise a specific year, colour or registration. The fixed fare and the standard are the promise. The driver is uniformed, ID-visible, and carries a card reader for in-vehicle payment if you prefer not to settle via the card we have on file.

How payment works

A small Stripe deposit confirms the booking when you submit your details. The balance of the A$65 fixed fare is settled at the end of the trip — by card on file, EFTPOS in the vehicle, or cash. The total you pay never exceeds the quoted fixed fare.

Fares by vehicle class

Prices are fixed for standard sedan bookings with normal luggage. SUV and people mover options may cost more depending on passengers, luggage and pickup requirements. All fares include the airport access/rank surcharge and tolls estimate. The fare quoted at booking is the fare charged — no meter, no surge, no surprises.

• What about cruise terminal pickup on disembarkation day?
  Disembarkation can take 60-120 minutes depending on the ship. Send us your scheduled disembarkation time when you book and we'll position a driver to meet you in the taxi rank just outside the terminal. If clearance takes longer than expected, we wait — no late-fee surprise.
