Changi Airport to Holland Village is 26 km and 28 to 40 minutes, running the Pan Island Expressway west and dropping down through Farrer Road or Commonwealth. Holland Village is a residential and expatriate district rather than a hotel belt, so most arrivals here are people moving in, coming home, or staying in a serviced apartment for a few weeks.
Fares start at S$90, fixed, and the address detail matters more than on a hotel route, because condominium security will not admit a car on a name alone.
