Tips for this route

Making your airport carpool smooth

Search by your flight date

Airport rides are date-specific. Filter by your travel date in the app — don't just browse nearby rides for airport trips.

Confirm T1 or T2

Tell your driver which terminal you need when you send the ride request. T1 and T2 have separate drop-off points — confirm in advance.

Mention your luggage

Let your driver know how many bags you have. Most cars handle standard check-in luggage easily — just confirm upfront.

Allow buffer time

Add your check-in window on top of travel time. Peak-hour journeys take longer — don't cut it close on airport trips.

Return trip too

Flying back? Post a ride request for your arrival date and terminal. Drivers heading back to the Northern Beaches can offer you a seat.

No ride on your date?

Set a ride alert. You'll be notified as soon as a driver posts a matching ride for your travel date.
