Where We Pick You Up in Singapore
We pick you up anywhere in Singapore — your home, condo or HDB block, your hotel lobby, or the arrival hall at Changi Airport — and drive you straight to your address in Ipoh. If your group is starting from two places in Singapore, we can stop at both; each extra pickup or drop-off point in Singapore is SGD10. For Changi pickups, give us your flight number when you book so we can follow your arrival. The first hour of waiting at Changi Airport is free, and your driver will contact you by phone or WhatsApp when you land.

Can a Singapore cross-border taxi take us to Ipoh?
No. Cross-border taxis can only drop off in Johor Bahru, Iskandar Puteri, Forest City, Kulai and Senai; to reach Ipoh door to door, book a private car that drives the whole way.

Each extra pickup or drop-off point in Singapore is SGD10, and waiting in Malaysia is SGD35 per hour for a Toyota Innova and SGD40 per hour for a Toyota Alphard / Vellfire or Hyundai Staria / Starex. Share your full itinerary when requesting a quote so we can confirm what's possible and allow for it in the driver's schedule.

Travelling with Children or Elderly Parents
Families are a big part of what we do. Tell us your children's ages when you book and we will fit child seats (SGD10 or RM35 per seat). Because you stay in the car through both checkpoints, there is no queueing with bags and tired children. Trips to Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands, Ipoh and Cameron Highlands include one free meal stop each way. Toilet stops are free and usually no problem — just ask the driver. If you are travelling with grandparents or anyone who finds walking hard, tell our team; door-to-door pickup means less walking than a bus or train.
