QF Chauffeur in Sydney, can you book pick-up earlier than 5 hours?

[Bindibuys]

Hi all,
we are booked on QF1 BUT arriving into Sydney (from Hunter Valley) by train. Plan to be at Strathfield railway station at 9:45am for say a 10am chauffeur pickup.

Qantas booking system has earliest pickup at 11am (5 hours prior to flight)
Called Qantas, spoke to Chelsea, and was told can only be booked using the Qantas site, which means a 1 hour wait for the car. - not the way I wanted to start our holiday.

I asked could the booking be made directly with the car company?
Was told NO, only by the QF system.

Anyone been able to book their car earlier than 5 hours?
If so.... how?

Not something I would necessarily advertise, but the car company is meant to telephone a day or two prior to re-confirm.

What you negotiate with them is entirely up to you... FWIW, I've only moved my booking around within the allowed time period, but based on the tone of voice I would expect you could ask for an earlier pick up on the same day.

Alternative HUACA with QF, but I doubt they would budge.
