At a glance
What you get with a Singapore airport transfer

You see the full quote before you pay. Your chauffeur is named before pickup, and the booking desk tells you where to meet.

What your quote depends on
Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking. These are the things that move it. Nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Tolls, where they apply, are either included in it or shown in it as an additional charge, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
Your landing time
Changi lists the last MRT connection towards the city at 11.18pm, so if you clear arrivals after that, the way into the city is by road. Any late-night charge is set out in your quote before you pay.
Where on the island you are going
A run along the East Coast Parkway to Marina Bay or the business district is a different journey from one to the far west or north of the island. The destination address shapes the quote.
Road pricing on the route
Singapore charges tolls electronically through ERP gantries on several expressways, and the charge depends on location and time of day. Where ERP charges apply to your route, they are either included in the quote or shown clearly in it as an additional charge, not added after you book.
Class, vehicle, notice and holidays
The class you choose, and a sedan, SUV or van chosen to fit your group and luggage. Short-notice bookings and Singapore public holidays can carry a charge, which is shown in the quote.
When you land
Landing at Changi
Changi's automated immigration lanes are open to all travellers, and Singapore asks for an arrival card before you land. The part worth knowing in advance is the layout. There are four terminals, one of them off the Skytrain, and Jewel sits in the middle of the other three.
-
01
Before you land
Submit your SG Arrival Card within the three days before arrival. It is free, and Changi advises using only the official ICA e-Service or the MyICA app. Check which terminal your flight arrives at, as Terminal 4 is separate from the others.
-
02
Immigration
Changi says all travellers, including first-time visitors, can use the automated lanes with no prior enrolment, provided they hold an ICAO-compliant passport.
-
03
Baggage and customs
Collect your bags at the baggage claim area, then take the Green Channel if you have nothing to declare, or the Red Channel if you do.
-
04
Meeting your chauffeur
The booking desk gives you your chauffeur’s name before pickup and tells you where to meet. Keep your phone on: a passenger who has not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted is treated as a no-show.
-
05
On the way
The East Coast Parkway runs along the south-east coast from the airport towards the city, crossing the mouth of Marina Bay on the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.
Changi's terminals and Jewel
Terminals 1, 2 and 3
Linked by the free Skytrain in both public and transit areas, running from 5am to 2am, and by link bridges on foot. Changi puts a transfer between them at five to ten minutes.
Terminal 4
The one terminal not on the Skytrain. A free public shuttle runs from 6am to midnight from T1 Departure Central Kerbside and T2 Arrival Pick-up Door 1, with a midnight loop every 19 minutes until 6am.
Jewel
A public, landside complex opened in 2019. Its North entrance connects to the Terminal 1 Arrival Hall on Level 1, and it is a five to ten minute walk from T2 and T3 by the Level 3 link bridges.
The MRT
Changi Airport station (CG2) is linked directly to T2 and T3. From there you change at Tanah Merah for the East West Line, or at Expo for the Downtown Line.
Changi's own rules do not let vehicles wait at the arrival kerbside or pick-up points. If you land at Terminal 4, say so when you book, because that terminal has its own arrival hall and pick-up doors.
SIN
Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)
Changi lies at the eastern end of Singapore island. Terminal 4 opened in 2017 on the site of the former Budget Terminal, and Terminal 2 fully reopened in November 2023 after three and a half years of upgrading.
Terminals Changi has four terminals in use. T1, T2 and T3 are linked by the free Skytrain and by link bridges, with Jewel standing between them, while T4 stands apart from the other three and is reached by a free shuttle bus. A fifth terminal is under construction and expected by the mid-2030s. Tell us which terminal your flight uses, and especially whether it is T4, when you ask for a quote.

Questions
Singapore airport transfer questions
How long will my chauffeur wait at Changi?
Your chauffeur waits 30 minutes from your flight's actual arrival time. Waiting beyond that can carry an additional charge. If you have not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted, the booking is treated as a no-show, so keep your phone on once you land.
I land at Terminal 4. Is that different?
Yes, a little. Terminal 4 is not on the Skytrain, and Changi links it to T1 and T2 by a free shuttle bus, so Jewel and the MRT station are a bus ride away rather than a walk.
Do I need to fill anything in before landing in Singapore?
Yes. Singapore requires an SG Arrival Card, submitted within the three days before arrival. There is no fee; submit it only through ICA’s own SGAC e-Service or the MyICA app. Automated immigration lanes are then open to travellers with an ICAO-compliant passport, including first-time visitors.
Can I spend time in Jewel before my transfer?
Yes. Jewel is in the public area, on the landside of the terminals, so you can walk in once you have cleared immigration and customs. If you plan to stop there, tell us when you book so the pickup time fits, because waiting beyond 30 minutes from your flight’s actual arrival time can carry an additional charge.
Why book a private transfer when the MRT reaches the airport?
The MRT from Changi usually means changing trains at Tanah Merah or Expo, and the last connection towards the city leaves at 11.18pm. A private transfer takes you and your luggage from the airport to the door, at any hour, with a full quote agreed before you pay.
Waiting time, changes, cancellations and refunds are set out in full in our Terms & Conditions.
