and the Resorts World Genting casino (21+ only).

Getting to Genting Highlands
How long does it take from Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands?
Typically around 60 to 90 minutes from central Kuala Lumpur, depending on traffic and your pickup location.
On weekends, public holidays and peak holiday periods, allow extra time because the mountain road can become congested.
How long does it take from KLIA to Genting Highlands?
Around 90 to 120 minutes from KLIA or KLIA2 to Genting Highlands, depending on traffic and the terminal.
Is there a cable car to Genting Highlands?
Yes. The Awana SkyWay is a cable car that runs between Awana Station (near Genting Premium Outlets) and
SkyAvenue Station at the top of the resort. It takes about 10 minutes and includes a stop at Chin Swee Caves Temple.
Can I drive myself to Genting Highlands?
Yes, but self-drive involves the winding mountain road, limited parking at the resort during peak times, and
tolls on the way up. Many visitors prefer a private transfer so they can relax and enjoy the view instead of driving.
Can I take a taxi or e-hailing service to Genting Highlands?
Yes, taxis and e-hailing services (such as Grab) can take you to Genting Highlands, but availability can be limited
during peak periods and surge pricing often applies. Pre-booking a private transfer gives you a fixed arrangement
and a dedicated driver.
Skylimo Transfer — What's Included
What is included in the transfer?
Your booking includes a private vehicle for your group, a dedicated professional driver,
pickup from your chosen location, drop-off at your chosen Genting Highlands destination,
bottled water, and (for round trips and overnight packages) the return journey at the agreed time.
Is this a private transfer?
Yes. The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group. You will not share the vehicle with other passengers.
Can we make a stop along the way?
Short stops can usually be arranged — for example at Chin Swee Caves Temple or
Genting Premium Outlets. Please mention any stops in the Special Requests field so we can plan the timing.
Do you offer continuous hourly chauffeur standby at Genting?
Yes. If you would like the driver and vehicle to remain with you at Genting Highlands for the duration of your visit,
this can be arranged as a continuous hourly chauffeur service, subject to availability and an additional hourly charge.
Is the journey suitable for passengers who get motion sickness?
The mountain road to Genting Highlands has many curves. If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend sitting
in the front passenger seat where possible and letting your driver know so they can drive more gently.
Where do you drop off and pick up at Genting Highlands?
We typically drop off and pick up at Resorts World Genting (the First World Hotel and SkyAvenue area)
and at Genting Premium Outlets (Awana). Let us know which one you need when you book.
Does the transfer include theme park tickets?
No. Transportation and theme park tickets are separate. Skylimo only provides the transfer service.
How do I get from Genting Highlands back to Kuala Lumpur?
If you have booked a round trip or an overnight package with us,
your driver will meet you at the agreed pickup point. If you have only booked a one-way transfer to Genting,
you can book a separate return transfer with us.
Premium Executive Van (Toyota Hiace, Pilot Seat) — 1–8 passengers · 6 bags
XL MPV (Hyundai Staria / Grand Starex) — up to 9 passengers · 6 bags
Excursion 14-Seater Van — 10–14 passengers · 10+ bags
Availability depends on your dates and luggage.
Which vehicle should I choose?
It depends on your group size and luggage. Small groups (1–4) are usually comfortable in a
Compact MPV / SUV (Perodua Alza). For premium comfort, choose the
Executive MPV (Alphard / Vellfire) or the Premium Executive Van
(Toyota Hiace with Pilot Seat). For larger families, the XL MPV seats up to 9.
Groups of 10–14 should book the Excursion 14-Seater Van.
Can I book a one-way transfer?
Yes. You can book a one-way transfer in either direction — Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands,
or Genting Highlands back to Kuala Lumpur, KLIA or another drop-off point.
Can I book a round trip?
Yes. A same-day round trip includes a morning drop-off at Genting Highlands and a return pickup later the same day.
You choose both times when you book.
Can I book an overnight or multi-day package?
Yes. If you are staying overnight at Genting Highlands, we drop you off on the first date and collect you on the
second date at your chosen time. Additional pickups can be arranged on request.
Can I bring luggage?
Yes. Please tell us in advance if you have substantial luggage or oversized items so we can arrange the appropriate vehicle.
When will I receive the driver and vehicle details?
Driver and vehicle information is provided 1 day before the scheduled pickup, according to the booking arrangement.
When is my booking confirmed?
A booking is confirmed only after payment has been completed.
A quote or booking request does not by itself guarantee vehicle and driver assignment.
Cancellation Policy
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation 24 hours or more before the scheduled pickup: 100% refund, no questions asked.
Cancellation less than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup: No refund, as the vehicle and driver
have already been reserved and assigned to the booking.
For multi-day bookings, the 24-hour period is calculated from the pickup time on the first day of the booking.

Yes. Tropical rain, mist and heavy traffic can affect journey times. Please allow additional travel time,
especially during the rainy season and on peak weekends.
