Taxi from the rank

Hire car



A hire car is worth considering if Parramatta is one stop on a wider trip or you plan to visit places outside the city. Check parking at your accommodation and allow for urban traffic. Rental desks and vehicle availability should be confirmed with the provider before travel.

Booking a private transfer



Your driver will usually meet you in the arrivals area at the agreed meeting point. Keep your booking confirmation, flight details, destination address and a reachable phone ready. Add your flight information when booking so the provider can advise how delays or a late arrival are handled, and contact them if your plans change.

Tell the provider about large, unusual or extra luggage before travel. Request any child or baby car seat in advance and confirm that it is suitable for the child travelling. Check the pickup instructions carefully, as meeting points can differ between providers.
