Combien coûte un taxi à Singapore ? (Guide 2026)

Structure tarifaire des taxis à Singapore, suppléments aéroport, péages ERP expliqués, et quand utiliser Grab à la place pour 2026.

Les taxis de Singapore sont efficaces et bien réglementés, mais la structure tarifaire est complexe : suppléments aéroport, péages routiers ERP, suppléments heures de pointe et frais de nuit s'accumulent. Voici ce que vous paierez réellement en 2026.

Tarifs de base des taxis à Singapore (2026)

Singapore taxi fares consist of three elements: the base metered fare, surcharges (airport, peak hour, midnight), and ERP tolls. The base meter runs from flag fall plus a per-distance rate. Surcharges are fixed amounts or percentages applied on top of the base fare. ERP tolls are electronic road pricing charges collected at gantries — the amount depends on your route, time of day, and the specific gantries passed. The driver cannot avoid ERP gantries on certain expressway routes, so ERP is always a legitimate add-on.

Sample Fares from Changi Airport (SIN)

The following estimates include the airport surcharge (S$5 off-peak, S$8 peak) and typical ERP toll costs. Midnight surcharge applies if departing between midnight and 6 am. Grab typically undercuts these totals by S$2–8 due to competitive pricing.

Grab vs Metered Taxi in Singapore

Grab dominates ride-hailing in Singapore and has largely displaced earlier competitors. For most journeys, Grab shows you a fixed upfront price that includes all surcharges and estimated ERP — no surprises at the end. This is the main advantage over a metered taxi where surcharges only become visible as they accumulate. For airport trips, Grab usually prices S$3–8 below the equivalent metered taxi total. For peak-hour city trips, the difference is smaller and occasionally Grab surges above the metered rate.

ERP Tolls — What Are They?

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) is Singapore's congestion charge for expressways and city-centre roads. Gantries charge automatically when a taxi passes through — rates vary from S$0.50 to S$6 per gantry depending on congestion. The most expensive gantries are in the CBD during morning and evening peak. The total ERP charge is added to your taxi fare and is always displayed on the meter. It is a legitimate charge that the driver cannot waive.

How to Pay for a Singapore Taxi

All licensed Singapore taxis accept NETS (local debit), Visa, Mastercard, and contactless payment (including Apple Pay and Google Pay). A S$0.30 card surcharge may apply on some meters. Cash (Singapore dollars) is always accepted. Grab and Gojek are cashless — payment via card or GrabPay wallet. If you're arriving without Singapore dollars, airport ATMs and money changers are available at all Changi terminals.

Finding a Taxi at Changi Airport

Official taxi ranks are at the basement (B2) of all four Changi terminals. Follow ground transport signs after clearing customs. During busy periods (peak arrivals, public holidays), queues can be 15–25 minutes. Grab and Gojek have dedicated pickup points at each terminal — check the app for the exact location as they differ by terminal.
