Arriving for orientation week
Orientation week is when airports fill with new students hauling everything they own. Wollongong is roughly 85 kilometres from the airport, so this is not a quick hop. Booking ahead means you do not need to work out trains and buses with heavy luggage, jet lag and an unfamiliar city. Leaving? See University of Wollongong to Sydney Airport taxi.
Book before you land
Enter your flight arrival details and your accommodation address in the booking form. We send the fixed fare to your phone and email, and a secure payment link confirms the ride. Have your phone able to receive messages, or use an email you can check at the gate. If your flight is late, contact us and we adjust where we can.
The regional fixed fare is quoted individually for the trip. It is not shown as a price on this page, and it does not change with traffic.
Where you might be going
Students stay in campus accommodation, shared houses in Keiraville and Gwynneville, apartments in Wollongong city and nearby areas such as Fairy Meadow. Have the full street address ready. If your accommodation has a check-in office with limited hours, check the time before you fly so the driver is not dropping you at a closed door.
For other Illawarra destinations see the Sydney Airport to Wollongong page.
Luggage and vehicle size
New arrivals usually have at least two large suitcases. Two large bags plus a carry-on tends to need a premium SUV (Kluger, Lexus RX, RAV4 or similar). Three or more large bags, or a group, may need a people mover (Kia Carnival or similar). The car is assigned by passengers, luggage and availability, so declare your bags when you book.
Meeting your driver
The driver contacts you around the time you land using the phone number you gave. Meet-and-greet at arrivals is available as an optional extra on request. We do not promise a particular driver or car in advance, since dispatch assigns them nearer the time.
Your first hours in Wollongong
After you arrive, plan for the basics: getting your keys, connecting your phone, and finding food. Many students book the car for the evening after a mid-afternoon landing, so that they arrive during accommodation office hours. If your flight lands very late, check whether your accommodation supports late check-in, or arrange a short stay in Sydney for the first night.
Australian SIM cards and a working phone number help enormously on arrival, because your driver will contact you at the terminal. If you cannot receive texts, use an email address you can check on airport wifi and tell us when booking.
Before you book

Yes, and we recommend it. Book before you land so your ride is arranged, and give us your arrival terminal and flight number.
Let us know using the contact details in your booking message. We allow for delays where we can, subject to driver availability.
Regional bookings outside Greater Sydney can carry a 12-hour minimum hold, which we confirm 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.
