• WhatsApp your chauffeur when ready to leave — they pull up to the entrance within 5 minutes

Departure

Casino Transport Pricing

MBS Casino (Marina Bay)

RWS Casino (Sentosa)

All prices include Sentosa island entry toll for RWS trips.

Late-Night Casino Transport

Both casinos operate 24 hours, which means late-night transport is a common need:

The Ride-Hailing Problem

• Grab availability drops significantly after 2am
• Surge pricing can reach 2–3x during late-night hours
• Driver cancellations are common, particularly for short trips
• Casino crowds leaving simultaneously create demand spikes

The Chauffeur Solution

• Pre-booked chauffeur is positioned at the casino entrance at your requested time
• Fixed rate — no surge pricing regardless of the hour
• Discreet pickup at the VIP entrance
• Direct drive to your destination — hotel, residence, or airport

Late-night surcharge: Some operators apply a 10–20% surcharge for trips between midnight and 6am. VenQ's pricing remains consistent 24/7 — always confirm at booking.

Casino-Hopping: MBS to RWS

Some visitors like to experience both casinos in one evening. The drive between MBS and RWS takes 15–20 minutes:

• MBS → RWS: S$65 (E-Class) / S$75 (V-Class)
• RWS → MBS: S$65 (E-Class) / S$75 (V-Class)

Book an hourly disposal (minimum 3 hours) to allow the chauffeur to wait at each casino.

Responsible Gaming Transport

If you or someone you know needs to leave a casino and would prefer not to return, a private chauffeur provides a discreet, judgment-free departure. VenQ chauffeurs are not associated with the casinos and provide confidential transport to any destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay the S$150 casino entry levy?

Only if you're a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. Foreigners enter free with a passport.

Can my chauffeur wait at the casino while I play?

For hourly bookings (minimum 3 hours), yes. The chauffeur waits in a designated holding area and returns to the entrance when you WhatsApp them.

Is there a dress code for Singapore casinos?

Smart casual. No singlets, flip-flops, or shorts after 6pm. Jackets are not required.

Can I book transport for a late-night casino departure?

Yes. Both casinos operate 24 hours, and VenQ offers 24/7 service. Pre-book for guaranteed availability, or WhatsApp +65 9122 1317 for on-demand late-night pickup.

Which casino is better, MBS or RWS?

Both are excellent. MBS is larger and more centrally located (Marina Bay). RWS is on Sentosa Island, which offers the added attraction of Universal Studios, S.E.A. Aquarium, and beach clubs nearby. For pure gaming, MBS has a slightly larger floor and more table games.

For casino visitors, a private chauffeur is about more than transport — it's about discretion, reliability, and a premium experience that matches the venue. Whether you're a high roller or a casual player, arriving by chauffeur sets the right tone.
