Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical cost for hiring MICE transport in Singapore?

Professional limousine services for MICE events start from $70 per hour for basic MPV transfers. Specialized VIP keynote transfers, such as a one-way Mercedes S-Class airport transfer, are priced at approximately $240.

Which vehicles are recommended for VIP and executive conference delegates?

For VIPs and keynote speakers, a Mercedes S-Class or Toyota Alphard is recommended to ensure comfort and professional service. For executive groups of 3-7 delegates, a Mercedes V-Class or Toyota Alphard is ideal for efficient hotel-to-venue shuttling.

How far in advance should I book transport for a large corporate conference in Singapore?

It is recommended to begin your transport planning and request RFPs from providers 3 to 6 months before your event. Booking luxury vehicles like the Mercedes S-Class early is crucial due to limited availability for high-profile delegates.
