What is included
- 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.
What changes the price
- The hours. 4 hours is a half day, 8 hours is a full day and 12 hours is a long day. A longer day costs more, but each hour costs less.
- The car. A sedan costs less than an MPV, a van or a luxury car. Choose the car by the number of people and bags.
- The date. School holidays and public holidays have a peak season price.
- The extras. Extra hours, a child seat, a meet-and-greet sign and snacks are added to the total.
4, 8 or 12 hours: which one?
- 4 hours (half day): two or three stops, such as a morning of nature or an evening at the beach.
- 8 hours (full day): the classic route with lunch and time at each place. See one day in Langkawi with a private driver.
- 12 hours (long day): a big day with the north coast, the sunset and dinner, without watching the clock.
Is the price per person?
No. The price is for the whole car and the driver, so a bigger group pays less each. A family of five in a Toyota Veloz for 8 hours shares the price of one car, which is often less than five separate tickets or two taxis for the same day.
Compare with other options
A taxi is paid trip by trip, so a day with several stops costs more than you expect. A rental car has a daily rate but you drive, park and pay for petrol. A private driver is one price for the hours you book. See car with driver or rent a car in Langkawi and car with driver in Langkawi: cars, prices and how it works.
