Trains

There are rail stations located at both the International and Domestic Terminals. The Domestic rail station is located directly between T2 and T3 Terminals and is accessible from within the terminals from the arrivals level. The International rail station is located at the northern end of the terminal and is accessible from the arrivals level.
Airport Link is a fast and convenient way to reach the centre of Sydney. Trains run approximately every 10 minutes and the journey into the city takes only 13 minutes. The international and domestic rail stations link directly to the City Circle which means most city destinations are within a short walk of stations.

AVIS, Phone: 13 63 33

To Sydney Airport
Most routes to the airport have signs carrying the recognisable aeroplane symbol. The symbol will point which way to turn at each intersection. Follow these symbols as they show the most direct route to the airport. The symbols will bring you to both the International and Domestic terminals. As you get closer they will be highlighted as International or Domestic.

Remember to keep a street directory on hand if you are unfamiliar with Sydney.

For detailed driving directions visit www.whereis.com.au and select 'Airports' from the areas of interest menu. Sydney Airport is located in the suburb of Mascot, in the state of NSW.

Accessible Parking for mobility impaired persons is provided within all public car parks at Sydney Airport, located as close as possible to terminals and near lifts in the Domestic multi storey car park.

Taxis
Each terminal has its own sheltered taxi rank with supervisors on hand in peak hours to ensure a smooth flow of taxis for travellers.
Kerbside supervisors can also organise taxis with baby capsules, wheelchair access, 5 seaters, station wagons for lots of baggage, and maxi taxis for groups.
