A van carries up to 14 passengers and about 10 suitcases in Langkawi. See the transfer price from RM140, the Starex and MPV options, the day hire price and how to book for a group.
When a group travels together, one big car is easier than three small ones. A van transfer in Langkawi carries up to 14 passengers and about 10 suitcases in one vehicle, with one driver and one fixed price. This guide explains the vans and large cars, how many people and bags they take, what a group transfer costs and how to book for a family reunion, a tour group, a wedding party or a company trip.
Which vehicle for your group?
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | Examples | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MPV | up to 7 | 4 | Toyota Veloz, Innova Zenix, Nissan Serena | A family of five to seven |
| Luxury MPV (9) | up to 9 | 6 | Hyundai Starex or Staria | Two small families or a group of friends |
| Van | up to 14 | 10 | Toyota Hiace, Nissan Urvan | Tour groups, big families, weddings and company trips |
Luggage means the number of suitcases the vehicle takes. If you also have golf clubs, equipment or large sports bags, choose the next size up. A group of more than 14 can book two vehicles, and each has its own driver.
Van transfer prices from the airport

- Return trip: a return transfer is twice the one-way price.
- Peak season: on school holidays and public holidays the price is higher, and the page shows the exact price for your date before you pay.
- Early and late flights: a pickup before 7:00 AM or after 11:00 PM has an odd hour charge, and it is included in the total you see before you pay.
Hire the van with a driver for the day
A group can also book the van with a local driver for 4, 8 or 12 hours, and the driver takes everyone to the sights. Petrol for your trip around Langkawi island is included, and the price is for the whole van.
| Vehicle | Seats | 4 hours | 8 hours | 12 hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Van (Toyota Hiace, Nissan Urvan) | 14 | RM500 | RM700 | RM800 |
| Hyundai Grand Starex | 7 | RM500 | RM700 | RM800 |
Tips for a group transfer
- Count the bags, not only the people. Fourteen people with fourteen suitcases need two vehicles.
- Put the flight number in the booking. The driver knows which flight to expect. If it changes, message us on WhatsApp and we tell your driver.
- Add a meet-and-greet sign so the driver waits in the arrival hall with a name, which helps a big group find the vehicle.
- Book early in the holidays. School holidays and public holidays have a peak season price, and big vehicles are popular.
- Add child seats for the small ones when you book.
