Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Colin is the ultimate Professional. He did everything he said he would and on time every time. I was so impressed with his service I will be recommending him to everyone I know who needs to get to the airport or any other destination. His car is immaculate and he is just an outright lovely person ... Thanks Colin

The epitome of friendliness and professionalism! Colin was a dream to organise our travel requirements with and his vehicle was spotless, roomy and coped with six peoples luggage extremely well. There were phone chargers on board, plastic cups for drinks and a bin for any rubbish. It was a smooth comfy ride between Sydney airport and Newcastle. Recommend Highly! Great price too!

We absolutely recommend Colin's services. He picked up our son, daughter in law and two grandchildren from the international airport and safely dropped them off to the Central Coast yesterday. Colin was prompt answering my questions, his vehicle was spotlessly clean and the family reported they felt at ease with Colin's driving. We will be booking him again for their trip back to the airport. He even made a call to let us know that he had made the pick up and gave us an eta, which was very reassuring.

Wish I could give 10 Stars !
As a Travel Agent for the past 28 years I have dealt with numerous transfer companies but the calibre of service from Colin is second to none ! We have used DriveUNow constantly for our personal airport transfers - not only do they offer everything from bottled water, phone chargers, breath mints, hand sanitizer and umbrellas I have always felt completely safe with Colin in the drivers seat.
We recently went on a Hunter Valley Tour with friends visiting from Victoria and can only describe the service as magnificent. We were collected from our front door taken to all the wineries we requested including a lovely dessert cafe, Hunter Village shops and a beautiful chocolate shop recommended by Colin. At the end of the day we were surprised and delighted to be sent photographs to our phones that Colin had taken throughout the day. We had a great drive home with music we hadn’t heard in years and it made our day ! We loved it so much Colin sent us the Playlist !
Honestly, couldn’t be more impressed with Colin and DriveUNow.

Colin is our go-to driver for transfers between the Central Coast and Sydney Airport. We find that he is very friendly and professional and his car is always well presented. Colin is a reliable safe driver who is very familiar with the roads and conditions on our route and can be relied upon to get us to our destination in good time (Important if you have a plane to catch!).
Colin has excellent communication skills and always confirms our details prior to our trip. On arrival at the airport on a return journey it is always reassuring to receive a text from Colin to advise us that he is waiting outside. We can unreservedly recommend the excellent service that Colin provides.

I couldn’t ask for better she was so sweet and even gave me a mint chocolate which was like to cherry on top.

I was impressed with the exceptional service provided by the driver who picked us up. From the moment we met, he demonstrated outstanding communication skills by providing us with clear and concise directions to his car. Moreover, he graciously assisted us in loading our luggage into his vehicle, making our experience hassle-free.
Throughout the entire trip, the driver maintained a strong commitment to safe driving practices, which contributed to an extremely pleasant ride. I felt completely at ease knowing that our well-being was his top priority.
Based on this positive experience, I would not hesitate to book an airport transfer with Drive U Now again in the future. Their high level of professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction has left a lasting impression on me.

From Collin to get us to the airport to Shane who got us home again. So professional but so personal all in the one package. We stepped into the car and was so stunned to see fresh bottled water, mints, and phone chargers; it’s the little things. We got stuck in Bali for an extra 4 days which was out of our control but that was no issue for this company, Shane was there waiting for us without any fuss at all, we were driven straight home, not having to drop everyone else off before us.
Cannot recommend this company enough. We will be using them for all future transfers.

We used this service recently for the first time and were very pleased.
We were picked up on time even though our flight had landed early. Dennis was waiting for us and drove us from Sydney airport to our home in Newcastle. Dennis was friendly and professional and we were very happy with the service. After a long overnight flight it was a relief to relax in a comfortable car and not to have to wait for trains or risk driving ourselves when tired.
