Kuala Lumpur to Mersing Jetty private transfer
My Little Taxi provides a Kuala Lumpur to Mersing Jetty private transfer for RM750. The transfer is arranged for your group only, normally up to four adults, with petrol and road tolls included. The drive normally takes about 5 to 5.5 hours, depending on your departure time and traffic conditions. This journey is part of our private intercity transfers from Kuala Lumpur.
If you are catching a morning ferry on a normal weekday, we can usually leave Kuala Lumpur very early on the same day.

Pickup
Pickup in Kuala Lumpur
We can collect you from an agreed hotel, residence or suitable address in Kuala Lumpur. Your exact pickup point and time will be confirmed before travel.
For accommodation with several entrances, restricted vehicle access or a separate lobby and residence entrance, provide the clearest available meeting instructions. This helps the driver locate you without delaying the departure.
Planning your departure around the ferry
Three simple steps to plan your Kuala Lumpur to Mersing Jetty private transfer around your ferry departure. Once we have your ferry details, we’ll plan the rest for you.
- 01
Send us your ferry details
Send your ferry operator, departure date and scheduled departure time with your enquiry. Check that your booking is for Mersing Jetty, as Mersing and Tanjung Gemok are different mainland terminals.
- 02
We plan your pickup time
For a morning ferry on a normal weekday, a very early same-day pickup from Kuala Lumpur is usually practical. The normal drive takes about 5 to 5.5 hours, and we plan the pickup around your ferry time and expected traffic.
- 03
Arrive before boarding
Under normal traffic conditions, we plan to reach Mersing Jetty at least one hour before the scheduled ferry departure. This gives you time to collect your boarding pass and Marine Park permit, freshen up and get something to eat or drink before boarding.
PLANNING FOR MAJOR PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
During Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Aidiladha and Chinese New Year, we normally allow about 6.5 to 7.5 hours when planning the journey because road traffic can be heavier than usual.
If you have a morning ferry during one of these busy periods, staying overnight in Mersing town the day before is usually the more comfortable option. We’ll plan your Kuala Lumpur pickup with extra time in mind, while allowing for normal changes in traffic and road conditions.
Mainland terminal
Drop-off at Mersing Jetty
For a direct jetty drop-off, your road transfer ends at Mersing Jetty, the mainland ferry terminal for your onward journey to Tioman Island. On Google Maps, the terminal is listed as “Mersing Jetty Interconnection to Tioman Island”.

Check your ferry terminal
Choose the jetty that matches your Tioman ferry schedule
Mersing Jetty and Tanjung Gemok Jetty are different mainland ferry terminals for Tioman Island. Which one you use depends on the ferry schedule that suits your travel date and preferred departure time. Check the available ferry sailing first, then arrange your road transfer to the same terminal shown on your ferry booking.

|---|---|
| Mersing / Mersing Jetty | Mersing Jetty — this Kuala Lumpur to Mersing Jetty page applies |
| Tanjung Gemok / Tanjung Gemok Jetty | Tanjung Gemok Jetty — tell us your ferry details so we can check the correct road transfer and quotation |
When you enquire, send us your ferry operator, travel date, departure time and terminal. We use these details to plan the correct road endpoint and pickup time.
Overnight in Mersing
Staying overnight in Mersing before your ferry?
If you prefer to travel from Kuala Lumpur the day before your ferry, My Little Taxi can drop you at an agreed hotel in Mersing town for the same RM750 fare. Most hotels in the town area are within walking distance of Mersing Jetty, making this a practical option for an early-morning ferry.
Send us your hotel name and ferry details when enquiring so we can confirm the drop-off and help you plan the journey.

Who provides your transfer
Who provides your transfer?
Anuar is the licensed taxi driver and the person behind My Little Taxi. Before each Kuala Lumpur to Mersing Jetty transfer, he reviews the ferry details you send, including the departure time and terminal, together with the expected traffic conditions for your travel date. These details are used to plan a suitable pickup time from Kuala Lumpur.
The aim is to reach Mersing Jetty with enough time before your ferry without leaving you waiting at the terminal much longer than necessary. Under normal traffic conditions, we plan to arrive at least one hour before departure, giving you time to collect your boarding pass, complete the Marine Park requirement and get some food or drinks before boarding.
Anuar may drive the transfer himself or assign another suitable licensed taxi driver when needed. The assigned driver receives the same confirmed pickup, agreed Mersing drop-off and ferry-timing details so the journey follows the agreed plan.

Common questions
Kuala Lumpur to Mersing Jetty private transfer FAQs
Answers to common questions about ferry schedules, Mersing and Tanjung Gemok terminals, overnight stays in Mersing, luggage and diving equipment, travelling with children, return transfers and ferry-connection planning.
Can I book the transfer before the Tioman ferry schedule is released?
Yes. You can book your private transfer in advance even if the final ferry time for your travel date has not been released yet. Tioman ferry schedules depend on the tide and passenger demand and are normally released monthly. Send us the confirmed ferry time when you receive it, and we will review your hotel pickup time around the scheduled departure.
How do I know whether to use Mersing Jetty or Tanjung Gemok Jetty?
Choose the ferry schedule that suits your travel date and preferred departure time first. Your ferry booking will show whether the departure is from Mersing Jetty or Tanjung Gemok Jetty. This page covers the road transfer to Mersing Jetty. If your booking shows Tanjung Gemok Jetty, send us the ferry details so we can check the correct road endpoint and quotation.
Can you drop us at a hotel in Mersing instead of Mersing Jetty?
Yes. If you prefer to stay overnight before your ferry, we can drop you at an agreed hotel in Mersing town for the same RM750 fare. Send us the hotel name when enquiring. Transport from your hotel to Mersing Jetty the following morning is separate unless specifically included in your written confirmation.
Can we travel with diving equipment and luggage?
Yes, subject to the actual loading combination. The normal guidance is up to four adults, four check-in bags and two hand-luggage bags. Diving equipment, large suitcases, strollers, child seats and other bulky items are considered together, so send us the approximate bag and equipment details before confirmation.
Can you arrange a child seat?
A baby seat or booster seat can be requested in advance, subject to availability. Send the child's age when enquiring so the seating and luggage arrangement can be checked before the transfer.
Can we book a return transfer from Mersing Jetty to Kuala Lumpur?
Yes. The Mersing Jetty to Kuala Lumpur private transfer is also RM750, including petrol and road tolls. Send us your ferry arrival date and scheduled arrival time, together with passenger, luggage and Kuala Lumpur drop-off details, so the return pickup can be planned around your arrival.
Can you guarantee that we will catch the ferry?
So far, My Little Taxi has not had a traveller miss the ferry when the transfer was planned around the confirmed departure time. We normally plan to reach Mersing Jetty at least one hour before departure under normal traffic conditions. However, a ferry connection cannot be guaranteed. Unexpected traffic, accidents, road repairs, severe weather or delays during the journey can still affect the arrival time.
