Skip the taxi queue and ride straight to your hotel

A private transfer from Kota Kinabalu International Airport to your hotel (or the reverse) in an air-conditioned sedan or minivan, with your driver waiting at the airport and hotel pickup included. The vehicle holds up to seven passengers, and you pay in advance and show your voucher when you land. The driver allows 90 minutes from touchdown to meet you at baggage claim.

The experience

When you land at Kota Kinabalu International Airport, your driver is already waiting. You show your voucher at baggage claim, find your vehicle in the pickup area, and settle into air-conditioned comfort without negotiating a fare or wondering if the meter is running fairly. The sedan or minivan depends on your group size: up to seven passengers fit in one booking. You've paid in advance, so there's no transaction at the end of the ride.

The driver allows 90 minutes from the time your flight touches down to meet you, which covers deplaning, collecting luggage and clearing the terminal. If you're traveling the other way, from your hotel to the airport, the same vehicle picks you up on schedule and delivers you to the departure hall. Each transfer is one way, so a round trip means two separate bookings. The vehicle options range from sedan to minivan to larger models depending on which option you select at checkout. All are air-conditioned and driven by a professional chauffeur.

Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and child safety seats or booster seats are available for a small fee paid to the driver if you request one when booking. Luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per person. The service operates on a per-person price structure based on seven passengers sharing the vehicle, so the cost per head drops as your group grows.

What’s included

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off.
  • air-conditioned vehicle (sedan or minivan depending on group size).
  • professional driver.
  • 90-minute wait time at the airport from flight landing.

Top questions

How long does the transfer take from the airport to the city?

The transfer takes approximately one hour from Kota Kinabalu International Airport to hotels in the city center, depending on traffic and your exact destination.

What happens if my flight is delayed and I land later than expected?

Your driver waits up to 90 minutes from the time your flight lands, giving you time to clear customs, collect baggage and reach the pickup area. If you're delayed beyond that window, contact the service with your new arrival time.

Can I book a transfer for just one person, or do I have to fill the whole vehicle?

You book per person, not per vehicle. The price is calculated based on seven passengers sharing one vehicle, so a solo traveler pays one share and rides alone or shares the ride with other passengers on the same route.

Do I need to arrange anything special for a child safety seat?

Child safety seats and booster seats are available for a small fee paid directly to your driver. Request one when you make your booking so the driver can have it ready when you arrive.

What's included in the transfer price?

The transfer includes hotel pickup and drop-off, transport in an air-conditioned minivan or sedan, and your driver meeting you at the airport. Gratuities are not included and are left to your discretion.
