5 Things to Know Before Booking an Airport Transfer in Singapore

Make Your Changi Arrival Smooth From the Start

Singapore is one of the easiest countries in the world to navigate — but getting your airport transfer right sets the tone for the entire trip. These five things will help you arrive relaxed and on schedule.

1. Share Your Flight Number, Not Just Your Arrival Time

This is the single most important thing you can do. A flight number allows your driver to track your flight in real time — including delays, early arrivals, or gate changes.

If you only share a time ("arriving at 3pm"), your driver has no way of knowing if your flight is delayed by 90 minutes. With a flight number, everything is tracked automatically and your driver adjusts without you needing to do anything.

When you WhatsApp us to book, always include: flight number, arrival terminal, destination address, date and number of passengers.

2. Book at Least 24 Hours in Advance

While we accommodate last-minute bookings when possible, booking at least 24 hours ahead guarantees your preferred vehicle is available. Premium MPVs like the Toyota Alphard and Mercedes Viano are particularly popular for families and book up quickly around Friday evenings and public holidays.

3. Know How Long Immigration Actually Takes

• Off-peak (mid-morning, early afternoon): 10–20 minutes from landing to arrivals hall
• Peak times (Friday evenings, Sunday nights, holidays): 30–60 minutes
• Long-haul flights arriving in clusters: Can be longer

We account for this automatically. Your driver tracks the actual process and waits as long as needed — no extra charge.

4. Understand What "Meet and Greet" Means

A proper meet-and-greet service means your driver enters the arrivals hall and holds a name board with your name on it. You do not need to find a taxi stand, download an app, or navigate to a pickup bay. You walk out of customs and your driver is there.

This is particularly valuable if you are arriving late at night, travelling with children, or have heavy luggage.

5. Always Confirm Your Fare Upfront

Always confirm the exact fare before your transfer. Metered taxis and surge-pricing apps can result in significantly higher costs than expected — particularly late at night or in heavy traffic.

With Singapore Airport Pickup, your fare is fixed and confirmed before we send your driver. No airport surcharges added on top, no surge pricing if it rains, no meter running in traffic.

A great airport transfer is invisible — it just works. You land, your driver is there, you arrive. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
