If you’re anything like me in the past, you’re on a mission to get your family from Johor Bahru to Mersing to soak up the beauty of the nearby islands.
Having taken this journey with my family several times, I’ve tested various transport options – some with great outcomes, others not so much.
In this article, let me pass on what I’ve learned so you can bypass the trial and error and jump right into your holidays!
1. Via Private MPV Taxi
Let’s cut to the chase – if you’re travelling in a group, with kids, or lugging around multiple bags, a private MPV taxi is your top choice.
With reputable private MPV taxis such as TaxiToJB:
- Booking is a breeze – just reserve your ride via WhatsApp in advance and your driver will pick you up directly from JB or even Singapore.
- You don’t need to trek to JB Sentral or Larkin to secure your ride. That means no wasted time and no fussing with public transport.
- If you’re taking the ferry from Mersing to Tioman, your experienced driver will be able to advise you on the best departure time from JB or Singapore to ensure you don’t miss your ferry!
This option is 100% our family’s preferred Johor Bahru to Mersing taxi option.

2. Via Grab Taxi
In my travels, I’ve found Grab taxis to be convenient yet costly.

With Grab taxis:
- The price you pay depends on how many people are using Grab at that moment.
- If you’re comfortable with the price changes, Grab is a viable Johor Bahru to Mersing taxi option.
- However, if you prefer a more consistent fare, alternative transportation might be a better fit for your budget.
3. Via Local Taxi
If time is of the essence, hailing a local taxi can be a quick solution to get you to Mersing.

However, do keep in mind that:
- These taxis are the regular ones you see around town, accommodating only up to four passengers.
- They might not offer the same level of comfort as private taxis but they serve the purpose of getting you from JB to Mersing in a pinch.
Conclusion
After trying all three Johor Bahru to Mersing taxi options, our family consistently prefers taking the private MPV taxi.
It’s undeniably the most comfortable and convenient choice, especially when travelling with a group, elderly, or kids.
