Category: Corporate Travel | Fuel Prices | Car Service Sydney Airport Published: March 2026
As fuel prices climb sharply in March 2026, finding a reliable car service to Sydney Airport with fixed pricing has become a top priority for corporate travellers and the Executive Assistants who manage their logistics. While rideshare apps adjust their pricing dynamically and operators across the country pass rising costs on to passengers, Cars on Demand is holding its rates firm. Here is what is happening, why it matters, and why now is exactly the right time to switch to a professional private transfer service for every Sydney Airport trip.
While rideshare apps increase surge pricing as fuel costs rise, Cars on Demand has committed to zero price increases for our Sydney Airport car service until fuel hits $3.00 per litre.
Fixed pricing. No fuel surcharges. No surprises.

The trigger is geopolitical. US and Israeli military action against Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which approximately 20 per cent of the world’s traded oil passes. The market reaction has been swift. Brent crude surged from around US$67 per barrel in late February 2026 to close to US$80 per barrel in early March, its highest level in over a year.
For Australian motorists, the pass-through is already being felt. Petrol in Sydney currently sits at around $1.98 per litre. AMP economist Shane Oliver has warned that a US$40 per barrel spike could add 40 cents per litre at the pump. In extreme scenarios, a 30 per cent increase from current levels could push Unleaded 91 past $2.50 per litre in some regions.
The Reserve Bank is watching closely. RBA Governor Michele Bullock has acknowledged that $3 per litre fuel prices would create significant challenges for consumers and monetary policy alike.
Australia’s position is uniquely exposed. The country imports roughly 90 per cent of its liquid fuel, meaning world crude oil prices transmit directly to the forecourt with very little buffer.
Fuel prices do not just affect what you pay at the pump. They ripple through the entire travel ecosystem. Airfares are under pressure. Logistics costs are rising. And ground transport operators who rely on dynamic or surge-based pricing are already adjusting upward.
For Executive Assistants managing travel programs and senior leaders who depend on seamless logistics, this is the moment to think carefully about where your ground transport budget is going and what you are actually getting for it.
Rideshare and taxi pricing is surge-based by nature. During periods of rising fuel costs and peak demand, that pricing becomes even less predictable. You may find yourself paying significantly more for a service that offers no duty of care, no fixed fare, and no professional chauffeur.
For EAs, our Sydney Airport car service provides the duty of care and reliability that anonymous rideshare apps simply cannot match. When you book with Cars on Demand, you know exactly who is picking up your executive, what they will be driving, what it will cost, and that they will be there on time.
Here is the commitment we are making right now: Cars on Demand will not raise prices until fuel hits $3.00 per litre.
While others are already passing rising costs on to passengers, we are absorbing them. Our pricing is fixed at the time of booking. There are no fuel surcharges added after the fact. No dynamic pricing that spikes when demand is high. No surprises on your invoice.
