Free Airport Pick Up and Transfer Service

Jolly Swagman Backpackers Sydney Hostel Pick up

Jolly Swagman Backpackers Sydney Hostels guests can receive a FREE Airport pick up as part of the service.

However there are a few rules and steps that need to be followed so that the pick up service runs smoothly, and you are not left waiting at the airport.

Here are the conditions for the airport pick up:

• You must book to stay with us for a minimum of 2 nights.
• Pick up service is available between 5am and 8.30pm (outside these times you must make your own way to the hostel - there are other shuttle buses and trains operating) If you qualify for the FREE pickup be aware that you DO NOT PAY THE DRIVER! They will drop you off and we organise the rest.
• On arrival to the airport you must CALL Jolly Swagman Backpackers Hostel to let us know you have arrived.

Click on the links below for more information on the different terminal pickup procedures.

International Airport - click here for "The Meeting Point" details.

Domestic Airport (Terminal 2) - servicing 'Jetstar' and 'Virgin Blue' domestic flights.

Domestic Airport (Terminal 3)  - servicing only 'Qantas' domestic flights.

• You must then make your way to the designated meeting point.  There is a different meeting location for each terminal of the airport.

There are strict rules enforced at the airport for shuttle drivers which means they can only enter and meet people at these very specific locations.  You must be very careful to go to the right place, and try to avoid the temptation to go shopping, etc as the driver can't go looking for you if you are not in the correct location!!  (If you do want to go shopping or sit down and have a drink before being picked up - no problem - just call us when you are ready to go.)

IF you have any problems to find the location or don't get picked up in time - try asking an airport employee for assistance, or call the hostel once again so that we can find out the problem.
