How much does a Sydney to Canberra chauffeur cost?

Fixed rates start from $420 for an executive sedan, with premium sedans and SUVs available for larger groups or extra luggage.

Is it cheaper to fly or take a private chauffeur?

Flights are often cheaper per seat, but a chauffeur becomes cost-competitive for groups of 3+ once you factor in airport transfers, parking, and luggage — plus you get door-to-door service with no security queues.

Can I stop along the way?

Yes. Popular stops include Goulburn and Lake George. Let us know when booking and we'll build stops into the schedule.

Do you offer the return trip, Canberra to Sydney?

Yes, the same fixed-rate service runs in both directions, including to Sydney Airport.
