About this route

New South Wales adds a small airport-pickup surcharge to fares starting at Sydney Airport; that surcharge is already baked into the A$54.05 typical meter shown above. Saturday-night trips into North Sydney on the late-night tariff settle near A$63.91 — useful to know if your flight or event lands after the band kicks over. Account for around A$9.50 in tolls if the driver takes the standard route into North Sydney. The toll-free option is slower but cheaper.
