At the terminal

Taxi and rideshare

Dedicated taxi and rideshare pick-up areas are directly outside the terminals and signposted; the passenger pick-up and drop-off zone is at the front of the departures terminal. South West Taxis (1300 68 16 16) covers Busselton, Vasse, Dunsborough, Quindalup, Yallingup, Cowaramup, Gracetown and Margaret River, and DiDi is listed as a registered operator. The airport is about 10 minutes from Busselton town centre and 45 minutes from Margaret River.

Pre-booked transfers

Transfer operators meet you in the arrivals hall or at the pick-up zone in front of departures. Book before you fly and give them your flight number; most track the flight and adjust for delays.

No bus

No scheduled coach calls at the airport. South West Coach Lines states its express service does not include Busselton Airport, and Transwa's SW1 stops in Busselton town, not at the terminal.

Uber

Busselton & Dunsborough

Uber has operated in Busselton, Dunsborough and Bunbury since 2018 and its Busselton page advertises UberX pickups from the airport. The driver pool is small: expect a wait outside peak times and do not count on a late-night ride. Margaret River township was still waiting on its Uber launch as of July 2026, with Uber recruiting drivers. DiDi also operates in Busselton. The airport has a signposted rideshare pick-up area outside the terminal.
