Strathfield taxi service: why book a private transfer
Strathfield station is one of Sydney's busiest rail interchanges, but taking the train to the airport means changing lines and paying the airport station access fee. With heavy luggage, children or an early flight, a pre-booked car is simpler. You get a confirmed driver, a fixed price and door-to-door service, which makes it a calmer alternative to a street-hail taxi.
Route and travel time
Depending on traffic, drivers use the WestConnex tunnels (M4 East and M8) or the surface route through Enfield, Belfield and Kingsgrove to the M5 East. Off-peak the trip takes about 28 minutes. On weekday mornings allow 45 to 55 minutes, and leave extra time on Friday afternoons.

How early to leave Strathfield
Strathfield traffic depends on which way you head out and when. As a guide:
- Domestic flights: a pickup about 2 hours before departure off-peak
- International flights: about 3 hours before departure
- Weekday mornings: add 20 to 30 minutes, because the M4 East and the roads around Liverpool Road and Coronation Parade fill quickly
For arrivals, give us your flight number and we'll set the pickup time from the actual landing. You won't pay for the driver's time while your plane circles.

Choose the vehicle that fits your group and luggage:
- Sedan: up to 3 passengers, 2 large and 2 small bags
- SUV: up to 4 passengers, 3 large and 3 small bags
- Maxi 7: up to 6 passengers, 5 large and 4 small bags

Students moving in for semester often bring two big suitcases each, so an SUV is a safe choice for two people.
