A new service is taking on the route between Canberra and Sydney, offering timely and cost-effective transfers, without the risk of delays and cancellations.

Road Jet offers private, door-to-door transfers between the two cities, operating 24 hours a day, all in your own comfort and privacy and you can even stay connected, with no airplane mode required.

On top of this they are serving Canberra to Wagga Wagga, Batesman Bay and Cooma with all surrounding areas.

Co-owner Fiza Ijaz was inspired to start the business back when she was living in Canberra, and commuting to Sydney often.

"I used to do the trip two times a week, usually by air, and there were always so many cancellations and delays, especially during the winter months because of the fog," she said.

"We wanted to give people a more reliable option."

There are three Road Jet options - the standard service in a family sized sedan, which can be booked for one to four people, the XL service with room for one to six people with extra luggage space, or the premium service for a trip in a luxurious vehicle.

"To go by air, you pay a premium price flying in or out of Canberra because it is a capital city, and if you have to go urgently, the prices get even higher," she said.

"With our transfers, you can split the cost when more than one person is travelling."

There is also a customised service to those who have undergone surgery interstate and are unable to travel by bus or plane and need to return home in comfort and privacy.

The Road Jet service is a great option for those travelling internationally out of Sydney.

The 24-hour service eliminates the need for overnight hotel stays which are required to catch flights that are booked for the next day, saving you both time and money with the one stop travelling service.

"People often fly up to Sydney a day early if they've got a morning international flight to ensure they avoid cancellations or delays which could mean they miss their flight," Fiza said.

"Instead, you could just be driven up on the morning of your flight, and Road Jet is a 24-hour service, so we can get you there no matter what time the flight is."

Road Jet is registered with Access Canberra in the ACT and Point to Point in NSW, currently employing 20 drivers in Canberra and 30 drivers in Sydney, and all drivers have had their required background checks.

Fiza said that when you do the maths, it's actually one of the fastest ways to get between Canberra and Sydney.

"While a flight may only take 55 minutes in the air, when you add in the hour minimum you need to be at the airport beforehand, plus the travel time to the airport, and then to your destination at the other end, you're looking at approximately three hours or more," she said.

"Even though a bus trip is similar driving time but total travel time is longer because you first need to get to the bus station and further arrive approximately 20 to 30 minutes prior to departure. Even then it only takes you to the airport or Central Station - then you have to make your own way to your final destination.

"We provide a door to door service, whether that's your home or office or wherever is convenient for you which saves you unnecessary travelling and queuing time, focusing on getting you to your destination faster"

So why wouldn't you travel with Road Jet for a stress free travelling experience!
