All prices are all-inclusive — driver, fuel, ERP, and parking included. No hidden fees added after quoting. Prices shown are starting rates; your exact quote depends on route, distance, and timing.
| Coach Size | Per Trip | Airport Transfer | Hourly (Min 4 hrs) | Full Day (8 hrs) | Monthly Contract |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23-Seater Minibus | From SGD 85 | From SGD 100 | From SGD 50/hr | From SGD 400 | WhatsApp us |

| 49-Seater Coach | From SGD 120 | From SGD 130 | From SGD 70/hr | From SGD 560 | WhatsApp us |
That's as low as SGD 2.44 per person on a 45-seater — cheaper than a Grab ride for most group sizes.
Per-Person Cost Breakdown
| Coach Size | Per Trip Rate | Max Passengers | Per Person Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23-Seater Minibus | SGD 85 | 23 | ~SGD 3.48 |
| 45-Seater Coach | SGD 110 | 45 | ~SGD 2.44 |
| 49-Seater Coach | SGD 120 | 49 | ~SGD 2.45 |

What's Included in Every Quote
No line-item surprises. Every quote we send covers all of the below — unless something genuinely unusual changes your route.
- Professional, experienced driver
- Fuel (petrol, diesel, or CNG — whichever the vehicle runs on)
- ERP toll charges island-wide
- Parking at pickup and drop-off
- Air-conditioning throughout the journey
- SMS / WhatsApp driver contact 30 min before departure
- 45 minutes free waiting time at Changi Airport arrivals
- LTA-licensed, fully insured vehicle
What's not included? Extra stops beyond the agreed itinerary (SGD 10–20 per stop), midnight surcharge for trips between 11 PM and 7 AM (SGD 20 flat), and public holiday surcharge (SGD 30). Malaysia trips have a cross-border permit fee — see the cross-border section below.

Surcharges: What Can Change Your Price
Three situations add to the base rate. All are fixed amounts — no percentage multipliers, no hourly guesswork.
Midnight Surcharge
+SGD 20 flat
Applies to any booking that starts, operates through, or ends between 11 PM and 7 AM. Predictable — no hourly multiplier.
Public Holiday Surcharge
+SGD 30 flat
Applies on Singapore public holidays. Covers CNY, Deepavali, Hari Raya, Christmas, and all statutory holidays on the MOM calendar.
Extra Stop Charges
+SGD 10–20 per stop
Point-to-point only: SGD 10 for stops ≤5 km from route; SGD 20 for stops >5 km. Hourly bookings include unlimited stops — no extra charge.
Waiting Time (Beyond Grace Period)
SGD 15 per 15 min
Airport arrivals: 45 minutes free waiting from flight landing. Departures and transfers: 15 minutes free. Beyond that, SGD 15 per 15-minute block.
Fair enough — here it is in plain English: book an hourly charter and you eliminate extra stop charges entirely. If your event has multiple pickup points or a flexible schedule, hourly almost always works out cheaper.
Per-Trip vs Hourly: Which Works Out Cheaper?
Quick rule of thumb: if your event has 2+ pickup points or you need the bus to wait more than 20 minutes, hourly is usually better value. Here's the straight comparison.
| Scenario | Per-Trip | Hourly (4 hrs) | Better Choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single airport pickup, straight to hotel | From SGD 100 | From SGD 200 | Per-Trip |
| Corporate event with 3 pickup locations | SGD 85 + SGD 40 extra stops | From SGD 200 | Hourly |
| School excursion (morning departure, evening return) | 2× trip cost | From SGD 280–400 | Often Hourly |
| Wedding (ceremony → dinner → hotel) | Multiple trip rates | Full day from SGD 400 | Full Day |
| Island-wide conference shuttle | Multiple trips required | From SGD 200/coach | Hourly |

Monthly Contracts: How Pricing Works
For staff transport, school runs, and daily shuttle services — monthly contracts save you money and give you a dedicated driver who knows your route from day one.
For groups of 10+, a monthly bus contract saves approximately SGD 79,200/year compared to equivalent Grab Corporate spend — with a dedicated driver who knows your route.
| Contract Type | What's Covered | Typical Saving | Get a Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Staff Shuttle | Fixed route, fixed times, same driver daily | 15–25% vs ad hoc | WhatsApp us |
| School Contract | Term-time runs, LTA-compliant, MOE-aligned schedule | 20–30% vs hourly | WhatsApp us |
| Corporate Event Block | Dedicated coach + driver for multi-day events | Negotiable | WhatsApp us |
Monthly rates depend on your route distance, number of trips per day, and fleet size required. We'll build a custom route plan and quote after a brief WhatsApp or phone conversation. No obligation, no pushy sales call.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bus Charter Pricing Singapore
Straight answers to the questions we get most often. If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us — typical response time is under 15 minutes during business hours.
How much does a bus charter cost in Singapore?
Bus charter starts from SGD 85 per trip on a 23-seater minibus — all-inclusive, covering driver, fuel, ERP charges, and parking. A 45-seater coach starts from SGD 110; a 49-seater from SGD 120. Hourly rates start from SGD 50/hr (23-seater, 4-hour minimum). Airport transfers carry a separate starting rate from SGD 100. The final price depends on your route distance, number of stops, time of day, and whether a surcharge applies (midnight or public holiday). All quotes are firm and transparent — no surprises on the day.
What's included in the quoted price?
Every quote from Singapore Bus Charter is fully all-inclusive. That means driver, fuel, ERP toll charges, and parking are all covered in the price we send you. There are no line-item surprises added at checkout. The only charges that can be added after quoting are: extra stops beyond your agreed itinerary (SGD 10–20 per stop), a midnight surcharge for trips between 11 PM and 7 AM (SGD 20 flat), or a public holiday surcharge (SGD 30 flat). We tell you upfront if any of these apply to your booking.
Are your prices inclusive of GST?
Singapore Bus Charter is not GST-registered — which means there is no GST added on top of the prices quoted. The figure you see in your quote is the figure you pay. This is relevant for corporate buyers — you cannot claim GST input tax credits on our invoices, but it also means your total cost is exactly as quoted with no 9% addition. All prices are in Singapore dollars (SGD).
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayNow, bank transfer (FAST/GIRO), and cash. For corporate bookings, we can issue a formal tax invoice and process payment via bank transfer against a purchase order. Credit card payments are not currently available. For monthly contract clients, we invoice on a monthly basis with standard 30-day payment terms. To confirm your booking, a deposit is typically required — the amount depends on the charter type and is stated in your quote. Contact us at +65 9457 9785 or contactus@singaporebuscharter.com for payment queries.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Cancellation terms depend on the lead time before your trip. As a general guide: cancellations made more than 7 days before departure receive a full refund of any deposit paid. Cancellations within 3–7 days may forfeit 50% of the deposit. Cancellations within 48 hours of departure are non-refundable. For monthly contracts, a 30-day written notice is standard. These terms are stated clearly in every booking confirmation we send. If your event date changes rather than cancels, we'll do our best to accommodate a reschedule at no extra charge, subject to vehicle availability. Call or WhatsApp +65 9457 9785 to discuss.
How far in advance should I book?
For most corporate and event bookings, 3–5 days' notice is sufficient. For peak periods — Chinese New Year, Deepavali, National Day, year-end D&D season, and school-holiday weeks — we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead, as fleet availability fills quickly. Airport transfers can often be confirmed same-day for standard hours if you contact us before noon. Last-minute requests (under 24 hours) are possible but not guaranteed. If in doubt, WhatsApp us early — we'll tell you availability honestly rather than take a booking we can't service well.
Do your buses have seatbelts, aircon, and luggage space?
Yes to all three. All Singapore Bus Charter vehicles are fully air-conditioned and maintained to LTA roadworthiness standards. Every seat has a seatbelt — this is a mandatory LTA requirement for all licensed private bus operators in Singapore. Luggage space varies by vehicle: 23-seater minibuses have overhead storage and a rear luggage compartment suitable for small bags; 45 and 49-seater coaches have dedicated underfloor luggage holds suitable for full-size suitcases. If your group is travelling with large amounts of luggage (e.g. airport transfers with 40+ passengers), let us know and we'll advise on the right vehicle and configuration.
Per-trip or hourly — which is cheaper for my event?
Per-trip is cheaper when you have a single, fixed route with no extra stops and no extended waiting time — a straight airport pickup is the classic example. Hourly is better value when your event has multiple pickup or drop-off points, an uncertain schedule, or a long waiting gap between legs (e.g. a D&D where the bus waits 3 hours during the dinner). The crossover point is roughly 2+ stops or more than 20 minutes of waiting. See our comparison table above for specific scenarios — or WhatsApp us your itinerary and we'll recommend the cheaper option.
Is Singapore Bus Charter LTA-licensed?
Yes. Singapore Bus Charter holds an active LTA Private Bus Operator licence — a mandatory regulatory requirement for all companies offering paid group transport in Singapore. Our licence covers corporate events, school excursions, airport transfers, weddings, tours, and staff transport. We comply with all LTA vehicle roadworthiness standards and driver regulations on every trip. UEN: 53379842J. You can verify our operator status on the LTA OneMotoring portal if required for procurement compliance. Call +65 9457 9785 for documentation requests.
Do you do cross-border trips to Malaysia?
Yes — we run regular cross-border charters to Johor Bahru (JB), Legoland Malaysia, Johor Premium Outlets, and Kuala Lumpur. All cross-border trips require an LTA cross-border permit, which we handle on your behalf. Cross-border rates are quoted separately from Singapore domestic trips and include the permit fee, Malaysia tolls, and fuel surcharge for the longer route. For a JB day trip, rates start from approximately SGD 280 on a 45 or 49-seater coach. Kuala Lumpur overnight charters are quoted case-by-case. WhatsApp us your itinerary for a firm quote.
Can you handle large MICE and corporate events?
Yes — this is one of our core services. We regularly support MICE events at Marina Bay Sands, Suntec City, Singapore EXPO, Sands Expo & Convention Centre, and Resorts World Sentosa. For large events requiring multiple coaches, we deploy our fleet in a coordinated schedule with designated staging areas, driver briefings, and event-day contact on WhatsApp. We've supported MNCs, government agencies, and event management companies on events from 50 to over 400 pax. Contact us at +65 9457 9785 to discuss your event logistics — we'll put together a customised fleet plan.
