IMPORTANT UPDATE 1 July 2025
After 4 years some prices have gone up (a bit)
​
Prices and services are of course subject to change at any time, but what you find here is likely to be correct until the next scheduled review date 30 June 2026
PRICE LIST AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFO
-
Unlike densely populated areas, in small country towns there simply isn't enough call for someone to sit in a car waiting for a job. I'll always do what I can to accommodate immediate requests, but do understand if I can't cover short notice bookings.
​
-
Being an Iluka-based service, all trips are priced as though they are starting or finishing in Iluka. So if you're in Woombah and want to go to Maclean, the fare will be the same as if starting in Iluka.
​
-
ALL trips are priced to cover the time and mileage to return to the Iluka base. A small surcharge is applied if you're joining me for the trip back.
​
-
This service is predominantly offered during daylight hours. As of 1 July 2025 I deleted specific hours and pricing for 'Night' and 'Late Night' services.
-
Want to book ahead for a late night run? I drive most days and will not drive if fatigued. If I do accept your trip, it may require not taking on something earlier in the day - a suitable surcharge will apply.
-
A night sleeping rough, in even in the dead of an Iluka winter, might be uncomfortable, but you won't die.

'The Insanity Special'
You're either stinking rich, out of your mind, or both. Either way, you're sick of the whole east coast thing and that annoying Pacific Ocean.

I'll wait on you hand and foot, I'll feed you and find you somewhere nice to stay for 10 glorious days. Hey, I'll even bring you back for free! What the heck? It's only money!
Just in case this were ever to happen, so you know, it won't be Beluga caviar on wagyu beef with a side of lobster Thermidor for breakfast lunch and dinner. 'Somewhere nice' will be of my choosing.
