Singapore To Desaru Coast By Taxi
Despite the various modes of travelling to Desaru, going by car still remains the preferred choice for most tourists.
Of course, every car transport to Desaru from Singapore option has its own pros and cons.
So how do you choose?
For the record, a private car taxi is always the best choice for family or group trips with more than 3 people. (We’ll get to that soon.)
For your convenience, I’ll break down each car transport option for you in this guide, which you can survey and compare to make the best decision.
1. By SGMY Private Taxi
SGMYTAXI is a private car service that will take you doorstep-to-doorstep from Singapore to Desaru. And trust us, it’s a lifesaver.
Its sheer convenience, flexibility, and relative affordability makes it a clear winner from the rest.
You’ll appreciate these advantages especially when travelling with kids, elderly folks, or in a group.
Why You Should Choose SGMYTAXI:
- Doorstep pickup from Singapore to Desaru Coast
- A luxurious and comfortable MPV vehicle at an affordable price
- Flexible pickup time
- No need to get down at SG-MY Checkpoints
- No need to alight with luggage for custom clearance and scanning
- You can bring all your belongings with you (not practical on public transport)
- You save energy for your holiday in Desaru instead of wasting it at customs checkpoint
- You don’t have to drive!
- Plenty of positive feedback from customers
2. By Singapore Taxi
Another way to get to Desaru Coast from Singapore is by Singapore taxi.
You can take a taxi from Ban San Street (aka Queen Street) Taxi Terminal, Singapore to Larkin Bus Terminal, JB. The fare should cost about SGD 60.
Alternatively, you can take a Malaysian taxi from Ban San Terminal. But It cost you more than SG60, the price would be I think SGD100.

3. By Taxi In Larkin Or Grab Car
Once at Larkin Bus Terminal, you can choose to hail a Grab Car or taxi. Tell the driver to drop you off at your resort’s lobby in Desaru.
A taxi ride from JB Sentral to Desaru can cost around RM 250 -350. You are free to get an estimation of the price from the service counter at Larkin.
I think this method of travelling is quite tedious. A private car service from Singapore direct to your hotel in Desaru is a faster, simpler choice, especially during weekends and public holidays.

4. By Self Driving
Now, if you’re renting or have your own car, self-driving is a perfectly great option—after the private car taxi, of course.
By self-driving, you’ll get more flexibility to travel around.

For instance, I’ve always taken the opportunity to explore nearby areas such as Bandar Penawar and Sungai Rengit when I drive to Desaru.
The unknown adventure is always the best part of a holiday.
5. Conclusion: Best Option
By a long shot, the SGMYTAXI private car taxi service is the MOST RECOMMENDED way to travel from Singapore to Desaru Coast.
For perspective, a ferry ticket can cost SGD108 per person, and it’s not exactly that convenient.
Whereas for about SGD 300, SGMYTAXI will give you a comfortable ride, doorstep-to-doorstep convenience, and hassle-free travel.
All you and your family have to do is sit back and relax. Before you know it, you’ll have arrived at your destination.
