Where We Pick You Up in Singapore

We pick you up from your address in Singapore — home, hotel, office or 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 the airport is free, and your driver will contact you by phone or WhatsApp when you land.

Prices are per vehicle, not per person, with fuel, tolls, parking, checkpoint entry fee and VEP included; waiting time, child seats and extra pickup points are charged separately as listed.
