The catch
How we work it out
- Parking comes from each airport's own booking site, checked on 20 October 2026 for stays in January 2027. Both bill in 24-hour blocks, so a part day counts as a full one.
- Driving counts fuel at 26 cents a kilometre and tolls on the way to Sydney Airport. Times are off-peak.
- Rideshare is a typical off-peak fare: base, distance, time, tolls and the airport fee.
- Train to Sydney Airport includes the station access fee. WSI's metro fares aren't confirmed yet.
- Time is shown beside the cost, never added into it. We also give a figure that values your time at A$30 an hour, for when cost and time point different ways.
These are estimates to help you choose, not quotes. Prices change with the date you book, so check the airport's own site before you pay. We're independent and not part of either airport.
