Singapore to Desaru Journey Information
About 2.5–3 hours door to door, depending mostly on checkpoint queues. We use Woodlands or Tuas, whichever is faster on the day.
You normally stay in the car through both checkpoints — just have everyone's passports ready to hand to the officer at the immigration booth.
Goes where taxis can't — Desaru is in Johor, but cross-border taxis can't drop off there.
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 Desaru. 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.

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. 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.

Request a Desaru transfer quoteA Weekend in Desaru: How the Trip Works
Desaru is about 2.5–3 hours from Singapore, so most families book one trip there and another home a day or two later. One-way fares start from SGD160 for a Toyota Innova and SGD200 for a Toyota Alphard / Vellfire or Hyundai Staria / Starex; a return trip is SGD300 or SGD380. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, with fuel, parking, tolls and checkpoint entry fee included. We drive you to your resort or hotel door, so there is no transfer to arrange on the Malaysian side. Tell us your check-out time and we will set the pickup for the trip home.
