Is private taxi hire cheaper than a metered taxi?

It is more predictable. A metered taxi or ride-hail fare moves with distance, waiting time, peak-hour surcharges, an airport surcharge and ERP — and can surge in rain or at events. Private taxi hire is a single fixed fare quoted before you travel, with ERP and airport surcharges already absorbed. On airport runs, peak hours and bad weather it is usually the cheaper of the two; on a short off-peak trip a meter can be lower. You always know the price up front.

What Is Private Taxi Hire in Singapore?

A private taxi is not the same as a street-hail cab or a ride-hailing app. It is a pre-booked, dedicated service with fixed pricing — your car and driver are confirmed in advance, and the fare is agreed before the journey starts. There is no meter running, no peak-hour surcharge, and no uncertainty about availability.

Private taxis have grown popular in Singapore because they offer predictability, comfort, and value — the reliability of a limousine with more flexibility, at a price agreed upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a private taxi hire different from Grab?

Private taxi hire means you pre-book a specific vehicle at a confirmed fixed price. Grab and metered taxis use dynamic pricing — your fare changes based on demand and traffic. With Platinum, the price is locked when you book. No surprises.

Can I book a private taxi for an airport pickup?

Yes — that is one of our most popular services. Fixed price with real-time flight tracking — your driver adjusts their arrival for delays. Choose from 4-seater Mercedes to 13-seater Hiace.

Is private taxi hire available 24 hours?

Yes. We operate 24/7, including public holidays and midnight. A midnight surcharge of $10 applies for pickups or drop-offs between 23:30 and 06:15.

Do you have vehicles for groups larger than 7?

Yes. Our Toyota Hiace 13-seater accommodates up to 13 passengers and 8 large suitcases. For groups larger than 13, we coordinate multiple vehicles. WhatsApp us with your group size.
