Tour bus rental in Singapore
You decide where to go. We supply the coach, the driver and the parking headache. A guide can come along if you want one.
A coach and a driver for a block of hours. Four hours is the minimum, and it costs $200 on a 23 seater, $240 on a 45 seater, $280 on a 49 seater or $320 on a 50 seater. You choose the route and the stops.
We are not a packaged tour operator. There is no fixed itinerary and no ticket bundle. If you want a guide on board, say so when booking and we will arrange one.

For one or two people, public transport wins. For a group, it stops making sense quickly. Everyone has to stay together through interchanges, nobody can leave bags anywhere, and the day runs on someone else timetable.
A hired coach fixes all three. Bags stay on board between stops, the group moves as one, and the schedule is yours.
How a tour bus day usually runs
You send the stops, we set a start time around anything time-bound, the coach stays with your group for the whole block with no waiting charges, and you extend by the hour if the day runs long.
- Send your stops. Even a rough list is enough. We check coach access and parking at each one before the day.
- We set a start time. Working backwards from anything time-bound, like a booked attraction slot.
- The bus stays with you. No waiting charges inside your booked hours, and bags stay on board.
- Extend if the day runs long. Extra time is billed by the hour at the same rate. Tell the driver early.
Stops we drive to often
Groups regularly ask for the same handful of stops. It is not a fixed route, just what comes up most.
- Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay and the Merlion
- Sentosa and the attractions on the island
- Singapore Zoo, River Wonders and Night Safari
- Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam
- Jewel Changi and the airport terminals
- East Coast Park and the older neighbourhoods
Some attractions restrict coach access to specific drop-off bays. We check that in advance and tell you where the bus can actually stop, which is not always at the front door.
Can you add a tour guide to the coach
Yes, on request, but not as standard. The standard booking is coach and driver. Your driver knows the roads, but a driver is not a tour guide and we will not pretend otherwise. If you want commentary and someone running the day, ask when you book and we will arrange a guide as an add-on. Tell us the language you need.
Which size coach to book for a tour
Go by headcount, with one exception: on a multi-stop city day the 23 seater is often the smarter pick even for a mid-sized group, because it parks where a full coach cannot.

Planning tips for a coach tour day
Four things that decide whether the day runs smoothly, all learned from days that did not.
- Allow more time at each stop than you think. Groups reboard slowly.
- Nominate one person as the driver contact. Several people giving directions goes badly.
- Book timed attraction tickets around the drive, not the other way round.
- Tell us if anyone needs step-free access so we can plan the drop-off points.
What to check before you book any tour coach
A tour day goes wrong in ways an airport run never does: the coach cannot stop where you assumed, the hours run over, or you were expecting a guide and got a driver. Here is how SGBUS.sg handles each, and what to ask of any quote.
- The coach cannot actually stop at the attraction
- What we doSeveral attractions restrict coaches to a specific bay that is nowhere near the entrance. We check access and parking at every stop on your list before the day, and tell you where the bus can really pull in.
- Ask this of any quoteHas anyone checked coach access at each stop, or am I finding out on the day where we can park?
- The day runs long and the price is anyone guess
- What we doExtra time is billed by the hour at the same rate you booked, not at a penalty rate. Tell the driver early and you will know the number before it is incurred.
- Ask this of any quoteWhat does an extra hour cost, and is it the same rate as the booked hours or higher?
- You expected a guide and a driver turns up
- What we doWe say plainly that the standard booking is coach and driver. Your driver knows the roads but is not a guide. If you want commentary, ask when booking and we arrange a guide as an add-on, in the language you need.
- Ask this of any quoteIs a guide included, and if so are they a licensed guide or is the driver doing the commentary?
