49-seater bus rental in Singapore

Our largest single vehicle. It is the most people we can carry without putting a second bus on the road, which is usually the reason to pick it.

The short version

A 49-seater coach seats 49 passengers plus the driver and starts at $110 per transfer. It is the biggest bus we run. A group of 50 does not fit, and we will tell you that rather than sell you a seat that does not exist.

  • 49 passenger seats plus the driver
  • The largest under-floor luggage hold in our fleet
  • Air-conditioning throughout, seat belts fitted
  • LTA-compliant, fully insured, licensed vocational driver
  • Fuel, ERP and parking inside the quoted price

What a 49 seater works out at per person

At $110 for 49 people, a full 49 seater works out around $2.25 a head for a one-way transfer. The 45 seater at $100 for 45 people is about $2.22. The two are close, so the real decision is capacity and luggage, not price.

Where the 49 clearly wins is when you are near the ceiling. If your headcount might drift from 44 to 47, book the 49 and stop worrying about it.

49 is a hard limit

Seating capacity on a coach is a licensed figure. Standing passengers are not permitted and every passenger needs a seat with a belt. If your group is 50 or more, you need a second vehicle. See bus rental for 50 people for how we handle that, or 50 people and larger groups for larger events.

What does a 49-seater coach cost to rent

A one way transfer is $110, an airport transfer is $120, and hourly hire is $70 an hour with a four hour minimum, so $280 for a half day.

Booking typeRate
One way transfer$110
Two way transfer$220
Airport transfer, one way$120
Airport transfer, return$240
Hourly hire, per hour$70
Hourly hire, minimum 4 hours$280

Driver, fuel, ERP and parking are included, and nothing is added afterwards. This is our highest hourly rate, so if your group fits a 45 seater you will pay $10 an hour less.

What to check before you book a 49 seater

The 49 seater is bought for capacity, so the questions are about the edges: what happens at 50 people, whether the extra $10 is worth it, and what a second vehicle would mean.

Assuming 49 seats will stretch to 50 people
What we doIt will not. Capacity is a licensed figure and standing is not permitted, so 50 people means a second vehicle. We quote that openly rather than rounding your number down.
Ask this of any quoteIs 49 the licensed capacity, and what exactly happens if we turn up with 50?
Paying $10 more an hour than the 45 seater for no reason
What we doIf you have 35 people with day bags, the 45 seater is the better buy and we will tell you so. The 49 earns its extra when your headcount is near 45 or everyone is carrying a checked case.
Ask this of any quoteIs the larger vehicle actually needed for my group, or is the 45 seater enough?
Needing two coaches and getting two arrival times
What we doWhere we run more than one vehicle, departure is coordinated so the group arrives inside the same few minutes rather than trickling in.
Ask this of any quoteIf two coaches are running, are they timed to one arrival or does each leave when it is full?

Common questions about bus rental in Singapore

How much is a 49 seater bus rental in Singapore?

$110 per transfer, $120 for an airport transfer, or $70 an hour with a four hour minimum, so $280 for a half day. All figures include driver, fuel, ERP and parking.

What is the maximum number of passengers on the 49 seater?

49 seated passengers. Standing is not allowed on a coach, so 49 is a hard limit rather than a guide. Above that you need a second vehicle.

If your headcount is near 45, or everyone is carrying checked luggage, yes. If you have 35 people with day bags, the 45 seater is the better buy.

Can two coaches arrive together?

Yes. When we run more than one vehicle we coordinate departure so the group arrives inside the same few minutes.
