KL to Johor Bahru
Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru
Johor Bahru sits at the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, about 330 km from KL along the North-South Expressway. The drive takes around 3.5 hours with a rest stop — a straight highway run that our drivers make regularly.
JB is the gateway to Singapore, home to LEGOLAND Malaysia, and a growing food and shopping destination. Whether you are heading south for business, connecting to the Causeway, or taking the family to the theme parks, we get you there without the hassle of self-driving.

Avoid Friday Evenings
The North-South Expressway gets heavy towards JB on Friday evenings as Singaporeans head home for the weekend. Leave before noon or travel on Saturday morning.
Rest Stop at Pagoh
The Pagoh rest area is roughly the halfway point. Good food court, clean facilities, and a natural break for the driver and passengers.
One-Way or Return
Book one-way if you are continuing to Singapore. For business day trips, return is more practical — your driver waits in JB and brings you back.
