      Baggage Trolleys at Sydney Airport

      If you are departing via Sydney and need a trolley, make sure you have some change. Baggage trolleys will cost you A$4 per trolley (coins only). The hire stalls are located on the ground floor outside, before entering the terminal.

      For passengers arriving into Sydney, trolleys are located in the baggage reclaim hall following Customs processing, and are free of charge.

    Does this work for Bank issued AMEX cards?. It doesn't appear to be in the exclusion, but not sure if it falls under some other categories

  • Jacko3000 on 20/06/2014 - 13:30

    Does this mean that we only get ONE free trolley hire?

        Is american express giving away any "complimentary" English courses for JV ?

          No, you've got it all wrong, when you swipe your amex, the trolley tells you how much it likes your shirt

    Anyone want to hang out with me at the International Terminal for a few hours and push around our free trolley?

    I was just at the International Airport last 2 Saturdays in a row sending family off and the trolleys were free at the car park. They were all nicely lined up and were not attached to the coin machines.

    Weird, are these a different kind of trolley? I go overseas every two months and they have always been free, in arrivals and departures?

    Is Australia the only country that passengers have to pay for trolleys at airports ?

      First i've seen or heard of in my travels. pretty ridiculous.

      Yea it is. It's a joke - Sydney - one of the worst cities for rorting people.

    • drewbles on 20/06/2014 - 15:26

      No. You need to pay in the USA (LAX and BOS I know you do, as i've been forced to pay in the past recent months). Tip: go out to the kerbside and look, people leave them there, and you can often just grab one before your bags go around the carousel.

      They are free in SYD arrivals in T1, but not departures. You have to cough up there. Smarte Carte have a virtual monopoly world wide on these things, and most places they're pushing $5 a use now!

    • odysseus on 20/06/2014 - 16:46

      Agree with drewbles. Not just there, but it's pretty common to have charges for trolley hire outside the terminal; I'd say more common than not.

        Nice deal but also think its a rip that the trolleys are charged for in Australia

    I've never been anywhere that charges money to use trolleys at an airport. Wtf Sydney?

    • zone on 20/06/2014 - 17:51

      Looks like you have not been around much.

  • Cral42 on 20/06/2014 - 14:15

    Trolleys are free at international.
    They are $4 at the domestic terminals

      I think the OP should update his post then lol

      Trolley is not free at International departure, but you can collect them for free at car park or inside the terminal though. I still reckon it's a rip off to charge $4 to use the trolley.

    • Aemit on 20/06/2014 - 20:58

      not free at international

    Don't need a trolley as I travel with a carry on only, but my Ozbargain state of mind says I'm going to get one anyway ;)

    Free card skimming at Sydney airport!

    • slowmo on 20/06/2014 - 15:44

      would love to have my card skimmed at the airport because it would mean my duty free is free. ;)

    If you have a van or truck, take the trolley home with you as a memento of your travels

    Real OzBargainers don't use a trolly. We just walk our stuff there.

  • slowmo on 20/06/2014 - 15:43

    Good luck with that!

    3 of my amex cards from different banks don't work with the (2 different) machines.

  • matt_will_fix_it on 20/06/2014 - 15:48

    There are free trollyes at Adelaide airport too

    • Roary on 20/06/2014 - 17:07

        Impersonating jv requires a certain style, and a dose of sarcasm, a direct quote is not enough

  • ChronoSphinx on 20/06/2014 - 16:34

    At airports, I usually look around and find spare spare trolleys easily without paying.

  • cptzz on 20/06/2014 - 18:15

    What a shame they charge for using a trolley.

  • calinya on 20/06/2014 - 19:21

    Wow I didn't realise you need to pay for trolleys at Int'l departures. Like others have said, plenty of free trolleys in the car park

    Are you kidding me, this country is out of control. It goes to show you were greed gets you.
    Im sure many airports around the world offer free trolleys. Another scam from the system. Paying for a trolley unbelievable!!

    This should be posted to show how messed up Australia is.

    • Lord Fart Bucket on 20/06/2014 - 20:11

      So.. Should this be engaged than based on the fact that a Sherpa in Tibet is cheaper?

  • Aemit on 20/06/2014 - 21:00

    if at the departure terminal (not the carpark), True Ozbargainers will just get one of the friends or relatives to watch your stuff, go inside and grab one that are left by other people who might have paid to get that trolley

  • diannesa on 20/06/2014 - 21:05

    Definitely pay at LAX. Last time we were there we got our kids to grab an extra one than we paid for (for an extra bag) and the man who was collecting them went off. Thought it was a bit unfair as we were travelling with 4 kids so had heaps of bags but his job was to grab the trolleys as soon as people left them and put them back so people would have to pay again. He was doing it well lol.

  • zooter on 20/06/2014 - 22:19

    was about to post that it's ridiculous that we have to pay for trolley but see that many have beaten me to it…
