Ways to get from the airport to Katoomba
A private transfer booked ahead suits travellers who want a driver arranged before arrival, families with luggage and visitors heading straight to their accommodation. A taxi from the rank is useful when you prefer to leave after collecting your bags, although availability and the fare should be confirmed at the airport.Public transport can suit independent travellers who are comfortable changing services and checking current routes, departures and disruptions. Allow for luggage and walking between connections. Check the airport and transport operator for current details before setting out.
A hire car is practical if you plan to visit several Blue Mountains sights or continue elsewhere in New South Wales. It gives you more freedom, but you will need to allow for collection procedures, navigation, parking and driving conditions.
Booking a private transfer
After collecting your luggage, follow the meeting instructions for arrivals and look for the driver or designated meeting point described in your booking. Have your booking details, accommodation address, flight information and a reachable phone ready.Tell the provider about late or delayed flights as soon as you can. Confirm how flight monitoring and waiting arrangements work, since policies vary. Share the amount and size of your luggage, including bulky items, and request child or infant car seats in advance if needed. Availability and fitting requirements vary, so confirm these details before travel.
