Airport taxi rank vs pre-booked airport taxi
Sydney Airport has official taxi ranks at T1 International and T2/T3 Domestic. Under the NSW Government trial that started in November 2025, rank taxis to the Sydney CBD trial zone are capped at A$60, or A$80 for a requested maxi taxi. Outside that zone the meter runs, and you may queue at busy times.
A pre-booked SkyMiles airport taxi gives you a set price to any suburb, no queue, a driver tracking your flight and the right size car for your group, luggage and child seats. See our airport taxi fare guide for a full comparison.
