Arriving at TWU

Arrival at Tawau Airport

Terminals: Tawau Airport, run by Malaysia Airports, lies about 32 km by road east of Tawau town, beside the main road to Semporna. Domestic and international flights use the same single passenger terminal.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim (and immigration and customs on international flights), holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included and the first 60 minutes after landing are free waiting time.

Public transport to Tawau Town Centre: There is no rail link in this part of Sabah, and the airport operator does not list a scheduled public bus from Tawau Airport; the trip into Tawau town is by road.

Checked 31 Oct 2026. Airport information: malaysiaairports.com.my.

No queues, no language barrier — just a relaxed ride at a fixed price from the moment you land.

1

Book online

Pick your destination, date and number of passengers, then pay securely online by card. The confirmation arrives by email right after payment.

2

We meet you in arrivals

Your driver waits at the TWU arrivals exit holding a sign with your name. He helps with the luggage and speaks fluent English. We pick up at Tawau Airport (TWU) and drive to any address in Tawau — Sabindo, the waterfront, the ferry terminal and every district — and on to Semporna (boat jetty for Sipadan and Mabul), Tawau Hills Park, Balung, Merotai, Kunak, the Madai Caves, Lahad Datu and Kalabakan. Other trips in Sabah on request; the islands off Semporna (Mabul, Sipadan, Bum Bum) and Sebatik are reached only by boat, and Danum Valley and Tabin only on gravel roads — on request only.

A comfortable ride

A clean, comfortable car, checked before every ride. Bottled water, Wi-Fi and child seats on request. You pay online in advance by card.

FAQ

Everything you might want to know

Updated: October 2026 · Prices and answers verified by ShuttleHero

How does meet & greet work?

Once you have your luggage, head for the “Arrivals” exit — your driver is waiting there with a sign showing your name. Not found within two minutes? Message us on WhatsApp and we will walk you straight to him.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight in real time — there is nothing for you to do. If it is delayed we move the pickup automatically. At the airport the first 60 minutes after landing are free, at ports and train stations 30 minutes, at any other address 20 minutes. After that, waiting costs €6 per started 15 minutes (€9 in a van). Landed early? Your driver is already on the way.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. Cancel up to 24 hours before pickup and you get a full refund. Rescheduling is free until then too. If you cancel less than 24 hours before pickup or don't show up, the fare is not refunded. Just reply to your confirmation email or message us on WhatsApp.

Which payment methods do you accept?

You pay in advance when you book, on a secure Stripe payment page: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay or Google Pay. There is nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Do you have child seats?

Yes — infant carrier (0–13 kg), child seat (9–18 kg) and booster (15–36 kg), all to EU safety standards. Just add them when booking (€10 each) — they are fitted and ready.

What if I have a lot of luggage?

A car (1–3 people) takes 4 large suitcases plus hand luggage; our vans (4–8 people) up to 8. Travelling with skis, golf clubs or a bike? Tell us when booking and we will send the right vehicle.

How far in advance should I book?

Book at least 3 hours before pickup so we can assign the right driver. Shorter notice? Message us on WhatsApp and we will do our best.
