Travel Made Easy: Sydney Airport’s New Digital App Pairs Perfectly with Cars on Demand’s Airport Transport Solution

Travelling through Sydney Airport just became significantly more streamlined, and when combined with Cars on Demand’s comprehensive transport solutions, you now have the complete digital travel experience at your fingertips.

Sydney Airport Embraces Digital Innovation

Sydney Airport has officially joined the digital revolution with the rollout of Australia’s new digital arrivals card system. The Australia Travel Declaration (ATD) is now available for selected international flights arriving at Sydney Airport, marking a major step forward in modernising Australia’s border processes.

This digital transformation means international passengers arriving on specific Qantas flights from Auckland and Queenstown can now complete their arrivals declaration directly through the Qantas app, eliminating the need for that familiar orange paper card that’s been a travel staple for decades.

Two Apps, One Seamless Journey

Here’s where travel convenience reaches new heights: while Sydney Airport’s digital arrivals system handles your entry into Australia, Cars on Demand has already been providing the perfect solution for the other crucial part of your journey — getting to and from the airport in style and comfort.

Cars on Demand’s airport transfer services operate across the whole of Australia, ensuring that whether you’re flying into Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or any other major Australian airport, your ground transportation is sorted with just a few taps on your smartphone.

How Both Apps Enhance Your Travel Experience

Before You Fly

Use the Cars on Demand app to book your luxury airport transfers in advance. Our premium vehicle fleet ensures you arrive at the airport relaxed and on time, with professional chauffeurs who understand the importance of punctuality when it comes to flight schedules.

During Your Flight

Complete your Australia Travel Declaration through the airline app (currently available on selected Qantas flights), saving precious time once you land. No more fumbling with paper forms or queuing for assistance.

Upon Arrival

Present your digital QR code to border control, then seamlessly transition to your pre-booked Cars on Demand vehicle waiting to transport you to your final destination across Australia.

The Bigger Picture: Australia’s Digital Travel Evolution

This isn’t Australia’s first attempt at digitising the arrivals process — previous efforts in 2016 and a $60 million initiative in 2022 failed to deliver the seamless experience travellers expected. However, the current staged rollout suggests the Australian Border Force has learned from past mistakes, taking a more measured approach to ensure the system actually works.

The digital arrivals card trial began in Brisbane and is now expanding to Sydney Airport, with plans for broader rollout across other Australian airports and airlines. This methodical expansion mirrors Cars on Demand’s own strategic growth across Australia’s major cities.

Why This Matters for Business and Leisure Travellers

Corporate travel requirements are evolving rapidly, and the combination of digital border processing and premium ground transport creates significant efficiencies:

• Reduced processing times at airports
• Seamless booking and management through mobile apps
• Professional, reliable service from kerb to destination
• Comprehensive coverage across Australia’s major business centres

For leisure travellers, these digital solutions mean more time enjoying your destination and less time dealing with administrative processes and transport logistics.

Cars on Demand: Already Ahead of the Curve
