How do I book a bus charter in Singapore?

Booking is quick and easy. First, gather your trip details like the date, pickup point, number of people and timing. Then get a price using our instant quote calculator or by messaging us on WhatsApp, confirm the booking, and your bus and driver will arrive on the day. Everything is handled by our team, so first-time bookers do not need any special knowledge.

Book Your Bus in a Few Simple Steps

Follow these four steps to go from an idea to a confirmed booking.

Step 1: Gather your trip details

Write down the date, the pickup and drop-off points, the time you need to leave, and how many people are going. Note if you want a one way trip, a return trip, or the bus to wait and bring your group back. These details help us pick the right vehicle and give you an accurate price.

Step 2: Get your quote

You can get a price in two quick ways. Use our online quote tool for a fast estimate, or send your trip details by WhatsApp and we will reply with a full price. To see how charges work before you ask, take a look at our pricing details, which are all-inclusive with no GST.

Step 3: Confirm your booking

Once you are happy with the price, let us know and we will lock in your date and vehicle. We will confirm the pickup time, the meeting point and the driver details so you know exactly what to expect. Keep this confirmation handy for the day of your trip.

Step 4: Pay and lock it in

Pay by PayNow, bank transfer or cash. A deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due before or on the trip date. For same day bookings the full amount is due before we confirm. Companies can book against a PO and settle one invoice, so tell us your PO number or cost centre when you book.

On the Day of Your Trip

Here is what happens once your booking is set and the trip day arrives.

Meet your vehicle and driver

On the day, your chosen bus arrives at the agreed pickup point at the booked time. Every vehicle is air conditioned, fitted with seatbelts, and driven by a licensed vocational driver. Your group boards, gets comfortable, and you are on your way.

Stay in touch on the day

Keep your phone nearby in case you need to reach the driver or our team. If your pickup point is tricky to find or your plans shift by a few minutes, a quick message keeps everything smooth. You can always reach us through our contact details.

Know what the price covers

There are no surprise fees at the end of your trip. Your all-inclusive rate already includes the driver, fuel, ERP charges and parking. This makes it easy to plan your budget before the trip even begins.

First time? You are in good hands

If this is your first booking, do not worry about getting every detail perfect. Our team has helped many first-time groups and will guide you through anything you are unsure about. We hold a 4.8 star rating across 184 Google reviews, so you can book with confidence.

What can be added to your quote

Four surcharges exist and nothing else. Each one is itemised on the written quote before you confirm, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.

Midnight, SGD 20 per vehicle

Applies to any trip running between 11pm and 7am. It is a flat fee, not an hourly one, so a twenty minute run and an hour long run carry the same SGD 20.

Gazetted public holiday, SGD 30 per vehicle

Charged on the holiday itself. It is separate from the midnight surcharge, so a trip in the small hours of a public holiday carries both.

Extra stop, SGD 20 each

Each additional pickup or drop-off on a point-to-point booking. On hourly hire extra stops are free within the booked time, which is one reason multi-stop days usually suit hourly.

Waiting, SGD 15 per 15 minutes

Only beyond the free allowance, which is 15 minutes on most trips and 45 minutes on airport arrivals. After three blocks it converts to a four-hour minimum hire.

The base rate already covers the driver, fuel, ERP and parking, and there is no GST. There are no peak-season loadings and no rush fee for booking at short notice. The full list is on the pricing page, and the instant quote calculator applies the midnight surcharge and extra stops for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book?

It is best to book as early as you can, especially for busy dates and large groups. Even so, we will always try to help with shorter notice, so message us and we will check what is available.

What sizes of bus can I choose from?

We have a 23 seater minibus, a 45 seater coach and a 49 seater coach. Tell us your group size and we will suggest the best fit.

How much does a bus charter cost?

Prices depend on your route, timing and vehicle. Coaches start from SGD 85 per trip, and hourly hire starts from SGD 50 per hour with a four hour minimum. Try our instant quote calculator for a quick estimate.

Do you travel outside Singapore?

No. We operate within Singapore only and do not run cross-border or Malaysia trips. We do cover all Changi terminals and industrial areas like Tuas, Jurong Island and Changi Business Park.

Is there any GST or hidden charge?

No. Our prices are all-inclusive of the driver, fuel, ERP and parking, and there is no GST added on top. The price we confirm is the price you pay.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancel 72 hours or more before pickup and you get a full refund of everything you have paid. Between 24 and 72 hours it is 50%, and inside 24 hours there is no refund. Rescheduling counts as a cancellation and a re-booking, so tell us 48 hours or more ahead and we will try to move your date without penalty. The full schedule is in our terms and conditions.

What surcharges could be added to my booking?

Four, and nothing else. A trip running between 11pm and 7am adds SGD 20 per vehicle, a gazetted public holiday adds SGD 30 per vehicle, each extra stop on a point-to-point booking adds SGD 20 and is waived on hourly hire, and waiting beyond the free allowance is SGD 15 per 15 minutes. Every one that applies is itemised on your quote before you confirm.
