Sydney Airport is situated in the suburb of Mascot and is around 8 kilometres south of the city centre. Katoomba is the principal township in the city of the Blue Mountains and sits approximately 102 kilometres west of Sydney. Given the considerable distance between the Airport and Katoomba, approximately 113 kilometres, reliable and cost-effective transport is essential. There are a few options including trains and buses, however, these two options are incredibly time consuming and can take almost double the time of a journey by car. It’s for this reason that we highly suggest a private transfer with Car Australia. We offer door-to-door service in one of our many comfortable and modern fleet vehicles and we can get you there in around 1 hour and 30 minutes. For a service that is both convenient and time-friendly, we are by far the best option.
