Possible to take taxi from Changi airport to Senai airport?
-
Hi, we're a family of four from Perth, Australia. We'll be arring at Changi airport next month. I was wondering if the taxis in Changi airport will take us directly to Senai airport in Johor Bharu? If yes, what's the approximate cost?
If not, what's the quickest way to Senai airport from Changi airport?
Thank you

Hi.. Welcome to Singapore!
Taxi Drivers usually dont have such a practice. But you can try..
The meter fare from Changi Airport to Woodlands is about $16. Add that to surcharges of $5, + flagdown $2.40, thats already $24.
On the other hand, i heard of a scheme, which travellers from Johor to any location in singapore, pay S$30 per taxi ride. So from Changi, this may be $40 instead due to surcharges
However Singapore Taxis will NOT bring you to Senai Airport. Instead, they only bring you to a place in Johor Bahru Town Centre, aka "Kota Raya". At Kota Raya, Malaysian Taxis will bring you to Senai Airport (30-50mins ride) for RM30 (about S$14.00).
So add these 2 up, total fare may be S$40 + S$14 = S$54.
So, in other words, theres really no direct method to Senai from Changi on Public Trasnport. Minimum is to change taxis at JB Kota Raya.
hope this helps -
No direct service available like that !
1st Option : take a taxi from Airport to Queen's Street near Bugis , then hire a Malaysian register taxi , $10/per head , to Johor Larkin Terminal or Johor Jaya terminal , Johor Jaya i think . Then from there , take another taxi or buses to Senai A/port .
Unless that first M'sia taxi are willing to take u to Senai , at a different rate , maybe $40/per head , unless .........
2nd option : take a taxi directly to Woodlands Checkpt and M'sia checkpoint , hire a taxi from just outside the m'sia checkpoint to Senai A/port . Just need to be careful about prices , they see foreigner they overcharge anyhow .
Last option ..... no taxi , take a Coach directly from Copthrone orchid hotel to Senai a/port direct !!
Cheaper and hassle free . -

No. Most S'porean cabbies do not carry their passports with them unless they are doing the SIN-JB route.Originally posted by webmal:You mean any Singapore taxi from Changi airport will take me directly to Kota Raya? In other words, all Singapore cabbies carry passports?

The easiest way is to spend a few days in Singapore, then get to Queen Street and try asking the yellow Malaysian-regged taxis if they will bring you up to Senai. Beats rushing around with luggage. -
engage a taxi driver and tell him to bring his passport.

I think this is a great idea! If you're a cabbie or if you know a cabbie; I'm arriving on 16 Apr at 4:45 PM via QF077 at terminal 1 Changi, I offer you S$100 to take my family directly to Senai Airport. Let me know if you're interested. My offer closes on 28 Feb at 5 PM as I need to make alternative arrangement if this offer is not taken up.Originally posted by sinicker:engage a taxi driver and tell him to bring his passport. -
No..... No.... No....
Even if cabby bring along their passport , they still cannot go in as they like .
Only those cabbies registered with JB Traffic department can be allowed to go into JB .
Even if u engage an cabby with a "Singapore-JB" license , they have to stop only at a designated point , ie Kota Raya as said , or Larkin Terminal .
No way Sinagpore registered taxi can be allowed into Senai A/port .
Or else those M'sia cabbies are in trouble . The Johore state has to protect their own people's interest .
Got the logic ? -
The only thing is , u take a taxi to a road called Queen St , then u take the Malaysian Cab , Yellow In colour.Originally posted by webmal:I think this is a great idea!

okay maybe i was too vague. engage a singaporean taxi driver driving a singapore-registered taxi who has a valid Singapore-JB license.
and he can only bring you to the designated locations he is entitled to in JB. -
Best i think is take to Queen street (about $18 meter fare), then take those JB taxis ($10/head) to Johor Bahru

Perhaps you can engage a private chauffeur for this purpose? They will be using private cars which are not bound by Johor regulations. It will be more hassle free as well.

That's a good idea but where can I hire a private chauffeur that's willing to take us directly to Senai airport? Do have any links?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Perhaps you can engage a private chauffeur for this purpose? They will be using private cars which are not bound by Johor regulations.

Singapore drivers usually will not be tempted into doing this ... for some reason , whatever money is involve . Trust me .
Too risky la , how if u are a drug syndicate , trying to smuggle drugs into JB ?
For nothing he kena jail or worst death sentence .... for just wanting to earn that few hundred bucks .
Ya la , that's what i trying to say , stranger afterall is stranger
, right ?
Best advice ..... take a taxi ftom the a/p , tell the driver : Queen's Street malaysia taxi stand .
Before booking a taxi to Johor , try negotiate a price with that M'sia driver , for a trip to Senai .
ASK . All u need to do is ASK . U'll never know the answer if u don't ASK .
