Booking Basics: How to Book a Maxi Cab Online or by Hotline

What’s Included? Luggage, Stops & Extra Charges
Planning for Luggage, Shuttle Stops & More
We recognise that group travel usually means baggage, detours and special needs. When booking, please ensure you let us know if you have additional bags or need wheelchair-friendly transportation, because we do offer adequate vehicles on request.
Short in-between stops on your route (up to 2km) can be arranged for SGD10, while longer detours (after 2km) will be a SGD15–SGD20 charge, each. The maximum allowable stops are two, and the maximum extra distance should not be more than 10km.
There are extra cost implications during peak hours, public holidays or airport pickups. For example, there is a midnight surcharge of SGD12 between 11:30 PM and 6:30 AM, and public holiday surcharges could cost SGD10. At times of super peak, fees could jump 50% – 100%.
Payment Methods: What to Expect
Credit Card, Portal Payments & More
When you book a maxi cab or minibus, you can choose from several secure payment methods:
- Credit card (online or in-vehicle)
- Booking through the portal
- Contactless mobile payment
All maxi cab fare transactions are handled securely, giving you peace of mind whether you’re paying in advance or after your ride.
If you’re using the hourly booking service, note that there’s no outskirt surcharge, making it a smart option for long-distance or multi-stop trips.
Best Times to Book & Common Use Cases
Big taxis are often in high demand during key times—think wedding seasons, weekend getaways to Sentosa, Singapore airport transfers, and hotel check-ins or check-outs. Booking at least 24–48 hours ahead ensures you secure the best availability and vehicle type.
If you are organising a limousine service for a corporate event or getting ready for island-wide travel with friends, the availability of a dependable taxi service will be an absolute game-changer. MyMaxiCabSGP offers flexible timing and dependable service for any occasion.

Need to cancel your booking? No problem. Inform us by sending a WhatsApp or email 12 hours prior to pick-up to avoid full charges. Cancellations less than 12 hours before will attract a 100 fee.
