Your driver for the trip
Escape Scenes is an owner-operated private touring business founded in 2019, led by someone who has worked in the Australian coach and touring industry since 2009. We run a private Canberra day tour from Sydney, so we know the route and the best times to leave. Our guests rate us five stars on TripAdvisor.
How it works
1. Choose your direction and time. Pick Canberra to Sydney or Sydney to Canberra, then a start time in the calendar below.
2. Book online or ask us. Standard times book online. Early starts and late departures are quoted first, because they need an overnight stay.
3. Travel door to door. We collect you from your address and take you straight to your destination. If you are flying in or out of Sydney Airport, we track your arrival and plan your pickup around your flight.
Price, times and area
A one-way private transfer between Canberra and Sydney is $1,295 per vehicle for up to five guests, with fuel and tolls included. Families and small groups share one fixed price.
Standard times
Standard transfers run in daytime and early evening hours:
- Sydney departures: about 6:00 am to 3:00 pm
- Canberra departures: about 9:00 am to 7:00 pm
Anything outside those hours, such as an early Canberra pickup (we travel up the night before), a late Sydney departure or a night drive, needs an overnight stay or driving after dark, so an extra charge applies and we quote it before you commit.
Standard area
The standard price covers Sydney Airport, the CBD and inner Sydney. Addresses further out, such as the Northern Beaches, add driving time and are quoted separately, so please include your address with your request.

Canberra to Sydney transfer FAQs
How long does it take to drive from Canberra to Sydney Airport?
It is about 285 km, roughly three to three and a half hours depending on traffic and your pickup point in Canberra. We plan your pickup time back from your flight and allow extra time on the Sydney side, so you reach the airport with room to spare.
Can you collect me from my home or hotel in Canberra?
Yes. We offer door-to-door pickup from your Canberra home, hotel or office, and we drop you at Sydney Airport, the CBD or inner Sydney as standard. Addresses further out are quoted separately because they add driving time. Tell us your address and flight time when you request your transfer and we will confirm your pickup time and price.
What times are available for a Canberra to Sydney transfer?
Standard transfers run in daytime and early evening hours. Departures from Sydney run from about 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, and departures from Canberra from about 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, at the standard price. Anything outside those hours needs night driving or an overnight stay, so an extra charge applies. Send us your time and we will confirm what is possible and quote any extra charge.
How much does a private transfer from Canberra to Sydney cost?
Each transfer is a fixed price per vehicle for up to five guests, with fuel and tolls included, so a family or small group shares one cost. The standard-time price is on this page, and early starts, late departures or addresses outside the standard area are quoted separately.
How many people and how much luggage can you take?
Up to seven guests fit in our Mercedes V-Class, but for a three-hour journey with luggage we recommend five or fewer, so there is room for everyone's bags. Tell us your group size and luggage when you request your transfer and we will confirm the vehicle suits.
Can I request a return trip, an evening return or a stop?
Yes. Return trips, longer waits and stops such as a coffee break or lunch in the Southern Highlands are quoted individually. Evening or night returns need an overnight stay or driving after dark, so they carry an extra charge. Tell us your dates, pickup address and plans, and we will send a clear quote before you commit.
Do you offer private tours outside NSW?
Yes. Alongside this transfer we run private day tours from Sydney and extended private tours across NSW, the ACT, Victoria and Queensland. If you need a longer one-way journey, send us your route and dates and we will quote it.
