The short version

A one way airport transfer is $100 on a 23 seater, $110 on a 45 seater and $120 on a 49 seater. An airport return is double that: $200, $220 and $240.

We cover Changi Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4, Jewel, and Seletar on request. Arrivals include 45 minutes of free waiting after landing. A run that starts at 11pm or later, or finishes between 11pm and 7am, carries the midnight charge of $20 per vehicle, the same as every other service we run.

How much is an airport transfer bus in Singapore

A one way airport transfer with SGBUS.sg is $100 on a 23 seater, $110 on a 45 seater and $120 on a 49 seater. A return covering both legs is $200, $220 and $240.

VehicleSeatsOne wayReturn (both legs)
23-seater minibus23$100$200
45-seater coach45$110$220
49-seater coach49$120$240

Book the return rate when we collect you on arrival and take you back for your departure flight, even if those are two weeks apart. It is one booking with two legs, not two separate jobs.

Why is the airport rate higher than a normal transfer?

An airport transfer costs $15 more per leg than the same trip elsewhere. That gap pays for the two things that make airport runs different: 45 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands, and a driver who is tracking the aircraft rather than working to a clock.

A word of warning on the numbers, because this trips people up. A standard two way transfer on a 45 seater is $200. An airport return on a 23 seater is also $200. They are different bookings that happen to cost the same. If either leg touches an airport, the airport rate applies to the whole job. The full comparison is on the rates page.

Arrivals, and what happens when the flight is late

A late flight is where group airport transfers usually fall apart. Two things stop that:

  • 45 minutes of free waiting after landing, which covers a normal walk through immigration and baggage reclaim.
  • We work off the real landing time. Give us the flight number when you book and the driver tracks the aircraft rather than the timetable.

If your group is clearing immigration on several different passports and you expect a slow queue, tell us when booking and we will build in more time rather than start the clock at 45 minutes.

How we time a departure pickup for a flight

For departures we work backwards from your check-in deadline instead of picking a round-number departure time. Give us the flight time and the number of bags, and we will set the pickup so the group reaches the terminal with room to spare, allowing for the roads at that hour.

Luggage decides the bus, not seats

A group of 40 on a day trip fits a 45 seater easily. The same 40 flying out with a checked case each needs more hold space.

GroupHand luggage onlyEveryone checking a case
Up to 2323-seater45-seater
24 to 4545-seater49-seater
46 to 4949-seater49-seater plus a second vehicle

Sizing up one step costs a lot less than adding a second bus.

Where the bus meets you

Coaches use the designated bus and coach bays, not the taxi stands. Your driver name and number are sent before the trip, and we tell your group which bay to walk to. Meet and greet inside the arrival hall can be arranged if you would rather someone was waiting with a name board.

Can we add a city tour to or from the airport

Yes, and it is one of the things people ask for most on an airport booking. It turns up in four shapes.

  • Landed early and cannot check in yet. Hotel rooms are rarely ready at nine in the morning. The coach collects the group, fills the gap with a few stops, then drops everyone at the hotel.
  • A long layover. Enough hours between flights to leave the terminal and actually see something, with the bags staying on board and the coach back at departures in time for check-in.
  • Corporate guests and visiting delegations. Collected at Changi and shown the city before the meetings start, or given an afternoon out on the day between sessions.
  • Departure day. Check out in the morning, a last couple of stops, then straight to the terminal instead of the whole group sitting in a lobby with their luggage.

It does change what you are booking, which is worth knowing before you compare quotes. An airport transfer is one movement to one drop-off point. The moment the coach starts waiting and making stops it becomes an hourly hire instead: four hours minimum at $200 on a 23 seater, $240 on a 45 seater or $280 on a 49 seater, with unlimited stops inside those hours and no waiting charges.

Send us the flight number and a rough list of stops and we will quote the day as one job rather than a transfer plus a separate tour. We check coach access and parking at every stop beforehand, because a number of attractions push coaches to a bay that is nowhere near the entrance. The stops groups ask for most, and how to add a guide, are on the tour bus rental page.

What is included in an airport transfer price

Everything needed to move the group from the terminal to the door. The figure you agree covers the driver, the running costs and the waiting time.

  • Licensed driver
  • Fuel, ERP and airport parking
  • 45 minutes free waiting on arrivals
  • Full vehicle insurance
  • Flight tracking from the number you give at booking

One thing does get added when the clock says so. A job starting at 11pm or later, or finishing between 11pm and 7am, carries the midnight charge of $20 per vehicle. Airport runs are not exempt from it, and a lot of flights land inside that window, so we quote it upfront rather than after the trip.

What to check before you book any airport bus

Airport runs fail in three specific ways: the flight lands late and the bus has gone, the group and the bags do not fit the vehicle that was quoted, or nobody can find each other in the terminal. Here is how SGBUS.sg handles each, and what to ask of any quote.

The flight lands late and the bus has already left
What we doArrivals carry 45 minutes of free waiting from the actual landing time, not the scheduled one. Give us the flight number at booking and the driver tracks the aircraft. If your group is clearing immigration on several passports, tell us and we build in more time from the start.
Ask this of any quoteIs the free waiting measured from the scheduled arrival or the real landing time, and what does waiting cost after that?
Everyone fits but the suitcases do not
What we doWe size on luggage, not just seats. Forty people on a day trip fit a 45 seater. The same forty flying out with a checked case each go on a 49 seater for the bigger hold, and sizing up one step costs far less than a second vehicle.
Ask this of any quoteWas this quote sized on headcount alone, or on headcount plus a checked bag each?
The group lands and nobody knows where the bus is
What we doCoaches use the designated coach bays, never the taxi stands, so we tell your group which bay to walk to and send the driver name and number before the trip. Meet and greet inside the arrival hall with a name board can be arranged.
Ask this of any quoteWhich bay does the coach use, and do I get the driver number before we land or only after?

Common questions about airport transfer bus rental

How much is an airport transfer bus in Singapore?

One way is $100 on a 23 seater, $110 on a 45 seater and $120 on a 49 seater. A return covering both legs is $200, $220 and $240. All include driver, fuel, ERP and parking. A flight landing or departing between 11pm and 7am adds the midnight charge of $20 per vehicle.

What is the difference between a two way transfer and an airport return?

A two way transfer ($170, $200, $220) is for trips that never touch an airport. An airport return ($200, $220, $240) is for a fly in and fly out booking. If either leg touches an airport, the airport rate applies to the whole job.

Can I book the outbound and return legs weeks apart?

Yes. It is still one airport return booking with two legs, even if the flights are a fortnight apart. Send both flight numbers and we will schedule each leg.

Which terminals do you cover?

All Changi terminals, including T1, T2, T3, T4 and Jewel. Seletar Airport on request.

What if our flight is delayed?

Arrivals include 45 minutes of free waiting after landing, and we track the actual landing time using the flight number you give at booking.

Can you meet us inside the arrival hall?

Yes. Ask for meet and greet when booking and someone will be waiting inside with a name board.

Can you do a hotel drop for several different hotels?

Yes, on an hourly booking. A single transfer covers one drop-off point, so multiple hotels is better handled as an hourly hire.

Flying in or out?

Send the terminal, the timing and how many people. Waiting is free for 45 minutes after you land.

Driver, fuel, ERP and parking are included, and no GST is added because we are not GST registered. Prefer the phone? Call +65 8065 3479.
