The full length of the peninsula in one van

Singapore to Penang is the longest transfer on our route list — roughly 680 kilometres and eight to nine hours on the road, running almost the entire length of peninsular Malaysia. It is a serious undertaking and we plan it as one: proper rest stops, a departure time chosen so the group is not arriving exhausted, and the same driver and vehicle from your Singapore door to George Town or wherever on the island you are headed. Doing this drive yourself in a hire car is possible; doing it with a group, luggage and a checkpoint at the start is a different proposition entirely.

Departure timing on a nine-hour run

On a drive this length, when you leave decides how the day feels. An early morning departure from Singapore generally clears the checkpoint before it builds and puts you in Penang by evening. Some customers prefer an overnight run, which is quieter on the road and gets you there for the start of the following day — we operate 24 hours, so either works. What we would not recommend is a late-afternoon start, which tends to combine the worst checkpoint window with arrival in the small hours. Tell us your date and we will suggest the departure that fits, and confirm the fixed per-van fare before you commit.

FAQ

Singapore to Penang van charter — FAQ

Questions we get asked most about this 8 – 9 hr journey.

Is an overnight departure available?

Yes. We run 24 hours and overnight departures are popular on the long northern routes because the road is quiet and the checkpoint is at its easiest. Tell us which you prefer.

How many rest stops on an eight to nine hour drive?

Two as standard, more if your group wants them. On a run this long we would rather stop than push through, and there is no extra charge for a reasonable number of breaks.

Does the fare change if we are eight people rather than four?

No. The rate is per van, not per person, so the headcount only matters for choosing which van fits you and your luggage comfortably.
