Hire a chauffeur in Langkawi for 4, 8 or 12 hours from RM250. See what a chauffeur service includes, the cars and prices, and how it differs from a taxi.
A chauffeur service in Langkawi gives you a car and a professional local driver for the hours you choose. You do not drive, park or find your way: the chauffeur meets you at your hotel, the airport or the jetty and takes you where you want to go. This guide explains how a chauffeur service works in Langkawi, what is included, the cars and prices, and how it differs from a taxi.
What is a chauffeur service?
A chauffeur is a driver who is hired together with the car for a set time. Unlike a taxi, which you pay trip by trip, a chauffeur waits for you and follows your plan: you decide the stops and the pace. The car is private, so it is only for your group. In Langkawi, the service is also called a car with driver or a private driver.
What you get
- Included: the car, a local driver for the hours you book, petrol for your trip around Langkawi island, and pickup and drop-off in Langkawi.
- Can be added when you book: extra hours, a child or baby seat, a meet-and-greet sign at the airport or jetty, and mineral water with snacks.
- Paid by you: tickets for attractions such as the SkyCab, and your own meals. You can also add attraction tickets in the booking and pay for them together with the car.
