Penang Airport Private Transfers to George Town and Batu Ferringhi

Penang Airport to your hotel, whichever coast you are on

Penang International Airport sits at Bayan Lepas on the south of the island. George Town’s heritage core and the Gurney Drive hotels are about 40 minutes north via the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, and the beach resorts at Tanjung Bungah and Batu Ferringhi another 15 to 20 minutes along the coast road. The airport taxi coupon counter works, but the queue after an evening arrival can be long and coupon fares rise for the beach hotels. A pre-booked private car is one fixed price to any hotel on the island.

Where your driver meets you

Walk out of arrivals to Terminal Gate 3. Your driver waits there with a name board showing the booking name. The driver’s name and WhatsApp number are sent the evening before, and we track your flight so an early or late landing does not change anything on your side.

Which hotels and areas are covered

Any hotel, resort or address on Penang Island: the George Town UNESCO zone around Lebuh Armenian and Love Lane, the Gurney Drive hotel strip, Tanjung Tokong and Tanjung Bungah, the Batu Ferringhi beach resorts, and the Bayan Lepas and Queensbay business area near the airport. Enter the hotel name at checkout. Heritage-zone streets are narrow and some are one way; your driver knows which lane to use for each hotel so you are not dragging bags down a five-foot way.

The fare is per vehicle for up to 12 passengers. Enter your passenger and luggage count and we assign a sedan, MPV or van.

Penang hotel to Penang Airport

Book the Penang hotel to Penang Airport option and enter your hotel and flight time. Wait in the lobby 20 minutes before the booked time; the driver messages you on arrival. From George Town, a pickup two and a half hours before a domestic flight or three hours before an international one is comfortable. From Batu Ferringhi, add 20 minutes.

Penang Island to KLIA

If your trip ends in Penang but your flight home leaves from KLIA, the Penang Island to KLIA option takes you door to door in about five hours: across the Penang Bridge, down the PLUS expressway past Ipoh with a rest stop, and straight to the KLIA departure kerb. It is MYR 878 per car for up to 12 passengers, which for a family compares well with a connecting flight once you count the second check-in and the KLIA transfer at the other end. Our KL to Penang and Ipoh transfers guide covers the road in detail. For the reverse direction, see KLIA to Penang.
