Pricing Details – How Much a Maxi Cab Costs

Transparent Rates by PlatinumMaxiCab.com

At PlatinumMaxiCab.com, we believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing. Whether you’re booking a standard transfer, airport pickup, or hourly charter, our pricing model ensures clarity and fairness for all rides across Singapore. 

Below is a detailed breakdown to help you understand exactly how much a maxi cab in Singapore costs and what additional charges may apply depending on your trip type, time, and special requirements.


Standard Transfer Charges

For regular point-to-point transfers, our rates are straightforward with no hidden fees. 

A typical one-way transfer within Singapore is included in the base fare, with prices varying based on the vehicle you choose. 

Our 6-seater, 7-seater, and 9–13 seater maxi cab Singapore services are ideal for group travel, family trips, and corporate rides.

Airport Drop-Off or 1-Way Transfers come at no additional surcharge, and the fare includes travel to or from your designated location. 

This is the most commonly used service for customers heading to events, hotels, and residential areas.


Airport Pickup Charges

For arrivals at Changi Airport, we offer two flexible options.

If you choose the Driveway Pickup, a $10 surcharge applies. 

Your driver will monitor your flight and contact you by Call or WhatsApp as soon as your flight lands.

You’ll then be guided to the appropriate pickup point, such as the basement or coach bay, ensuring a smooth exit from the terminal.

If you prefer a more personalised experience, the Meet & Greet service at the Arrival Hall includes a $20 surcharge. 

Your driver will be waiting at the designated area with your name on a placard, ready to assist you directly from the airport gate. Both pickup types include one hour of complimentary waiting time from your flight’s official landing. If the wait time exceeds this, a $10 charge applies for every 15-minute block thereafter.


Midnight Surcharge

If your ride falls between 23:45 and 06:00, a midnight surcharge of $10 will be added to your total fare. This applies to all ride types including airport transfers, hourly charters, and regular pickups. 

The surcharge ensures fair compensation for night shift drivers and seamless 24/7 availability of maxi cab Singapore services.


Extra Stops and Detours

Adding a stop along your route? A stop within 2 kilometers is charged at $10 per stop, while stops more than 2 kilometers away are charged between $15 and $20, depending on the distance. 

These fees apply to detours for picking up or dropping off other passengers, or if you’re splitting the ride between multiple destinations.


Waiting Time Policy

For standard pickups (non-airport), we provide 10 minutes of complimentary waiting time

After this grace period, a charge of $10 per 15-minute block is added to your fare. For airport pickups, as mentioned, 1 hour of complimentary wait is included after your flight lands.


Wheelchair Access Surcharge

If you’re booking a wheelchair-accessible maxi cab, a $10 fee applies for use of the hydraulic ramp. 

Our ramp-equipped vehicles allow guests to board and alight without needing to leave their wheelchair, making it a comfortable and dignified choice for passengers with mobility needs.


Area Surcharges

Additional charges may apply depending on the location of your pickup:

  • $5 surcharge applies to areas such as Admiralty, Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Woodlands, and Sentosa Island.

  • $10 surcharge applies to locations like Boon Lay, Jalan Bahar, Jurong East/West, Kranji, Lakeside, and Lim Chu Kang.

  • $20 surcharge applies for pickups from restricted areas like Jurong Island and Tuas.

These surcharges account for travel time, restricted access areas, and increased operational costs.


Holiday and Special Event Pricing

During major events in Singapore such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix, New Year’s Eve, and public holiday eves, fares may see a 40% increase to reflect high demand. 

In such cases, we will always notify you in advance for reconfirmation before finalizing your booking. This policy ensures service reliability during peak times while keeping you informed.


Parking, ERP & Toll Charges

Any carpark fees, Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges, or tolls incurred during your journey will be added to your final fare. 

These are billed based on actual usage and will be transparently listed in your receipt or final quote.


Vehicle Availability Guarantee

If your selected maxi cab Singapore vehicle is unavailable, we will automatically upgrade you to the next higher capacity vehicle at no extra cost

However, if your booking specifies a particular vehicle model due to personal or business preference, please mention it clearly during reservation so we can reserve it accordingly.


Prepayment and Third-Party Bookings

For bookings made on behalf of guests (such as for hotels, businesses, or individuals booking for friends/family), full prepayment is required to confirm the ride. This ensures accountability and reduces no-shows, allowing us to allocate vehicles efficiently.
