How do I call a cab in Singapore?

You can call the taxi operators directly, or use their apps:
  1. 6552 1111. iOS | Android.
  2. 6363 6888.
  3. 6778 0808.
  4. 6555 8888.




In Singapore, you can call or book a cab using three primary methods: apps, phone calls, or taxi stands. The most popular and efficient way in 2026 is using apps like Grab, Gojek, or CDG Zig (the official ComfortDelGro app). These apps allow you to see the fixed fare upfront and track your driver in real-time. If you prefer to call, the common "hotline" for the largest fleet is +65 6552 1111 (Comfort & CityCab), though there is a small booking fee for phone requests. Unlike many other cities, "street hailing" is only allowed in specific areas and is increasingly rare; it is far more common to queue at a designated Taxi Stand, found at all shopping malls, hotels, and MRT stations. Note that "Electronic Road Pricing" (ERP) tolls and peak-hour surcharges will be added to your final meter fare. For a stress-free experience, the CDG Zig app is highly recommended as it accesses the largest number of "standard" taxis, which are often cheaper than the "Private Hire" cars found on other apps during high-demand periods.
