 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming from Singapore for a quick weekend getaway, we quickly realized that public transport like ride-hailing apps isn't available around the island outside of the main resorts. Booking a private driver was easily the best decision we made.

Our driver was punctual, super friendly, and spoke great English. They picked us up right on time and crafted a completely flexible itinerary!

They knew all the hidden local spots, shared great stories about the island, and never made us feel rushed. If you are visiting Bintan, don't just stay cooped up at the resort, book a private car charter. It completely made our holiday!
