About Recaro Transport
While some travellers feel skeptical about vans, a good choice of destinations and competitive prices make vans one of the most popular means of transport for others. Vans are always more flexible than big buses. If there is a sudden request for rides to some new destinations, van operators are always the first to offer their service. Indeed, it is easier to launch a new route if you operate a vehicle of 10-15 pax capacity, isn’t it?
Recaro Transport operates van service and offers tickets with easy online booking. Check them if you are looking for options to travel by van.

What are the Vans Classes & Prices of Recaro Transport?
As a rule, it is not possible to choose a ticket class when travelling by van. Yet you can check with the operator and/or choose the type of van which serves your route. Some vans seat only 9-10 passengers, others accommodate up to 15 travellers. The former case means you may have more legroom, wider seats and a more comfortable ride, the latter – be ready for a limited space for your legs, elbows and your luggage.

Pros & Cons of Van Travel
Pros of Van Travel
- Vans often reach the destinations where neither buses nor trains travel. These include secondary towns and smaller villages
- In most cases vans are the fastest way to get to your destination if travelling to relatively short distances overland simply because they are smaller than buses and more maneuverable
- Vans can let you get off at a more convenient point enroute – not necessarily at the terminal, what actually can save you loads of time and money in some cases.
Cons of Van Travel
- Some vans can be quite cramped with limited space for luggage available. Well, actually almost all vans offer limited luggage space and if you have more than one bag, suitcase or backpack, it may be a good idea to buy a separate seat for your luggage – yes, you will pay double for your trip, alas
- It is worth checking if your van runs on schedule or leaves when full – in the latter case you may end up waiting too long as on several routes it can take quite a time for a van to fill up.
- You should know that van drivers are notorious for their speedy driving. Even the most reputable companies sometimes fail to persuade the drivers to respect the speed limits. Even if your van driver does not insist on it, always buckle your seatbelt while travelling by van
- If you easily get seasick and your trip includes winding stretches, chances to feel motion sickness are higher while travelling by van than by bus. Take your medicine half an hour before your trip to be on the safe side.

Really easy, can also book with them direct in Port Barton or PP. Van full but luggage well packed and driver was excellent. Arrived at El Nido in good time and would 100% use again!

Overall, the van ride went well. Very quick and smooth ride.
Unfortunately, there was some miscommunication between 12go and the fact that pick up from your hotel is included in ticket price. So we paid money to travel 20mins to get to the 'pick up' location which was slightly frustrating.

Some past reviews got me worried but this specific trip was good. The van would leave PP to Port Barton at 8:00am. I arrived at the Rocaro terminal around 7:15 am, they called someone, put me in an empty van, and drove me to a second van further up. This one had 4 other travelers inside. There was a quick stop for snacks/bathroom and soon we arrived in P. Barton. The trip was around 2 hours. It gets a bit bumpy sometimes but nothing too bad. Also, the driver was never too fast or reckless. In fact, he was super polite and helpful.

Los conductores van excesivamente rápido, conducen como locos, dando acelerones y frenazos. Si un animal se hubiera cruzado nos habríamos matado. Utilizamos este servicio dos veces para ir a lugares distintos y en ambos casos llegamos a nuestro destino una hora antes.
Por otro lado, puede salir mucho más barato contratandolo desde allí si negocias el precio.

Was nervous after reading some of the reviews but we had a great experience! Nice clean van, wasn't full, good music playing and didn't hit any dogs. The crew was very helpful and nice. We got in about an hour earlier then expected. They do drive a little crazy but nothing you wouldn't expect if you've been to southern Asia before

Left on time with a safe driver. A very crowded van built for Philippino sized people not western bodies cramped in. Luggage on roof.

La organización previa un poco caótica, hubo gente que se quedó fuera y tenían su billete. Pero buscaron alternativas. Nosotros teníamos reserva, llegamos con tiempo y pudimos coger los últimos dos asientos. Conductor al estilo Filipino, súper veloz, así que llegamos antes de la hora especificada.

Pro’s: The transport arrived 20 mns before as scheduled at the hotel in PP.
Con’s: The van was crowded, no safety belts. The driver drove like a maniac! Dangerous driving to pass other vehicles, in curves, in the villages on the highway. The Recaro should take more care about traffic safety instead of speed.

Van Regional 14pax, Recaro Transport, Dec 15, 2019
Personne n'est venu nous chercher à l'hôtel, nous avons dû nous rendre au terminal. En appelant la hotline, on nous confirme que ce service n'existe pas...
Le voyage s'est bien passé, le chauffeur nous a même déposé devant notre hôtel à Puerto Princesa. Malheureusement, un philippin qui avait payé deux fois moins cher que nous, voire moins, avait transporté du poisson dans de la glaçe, posé au dessus de tous les autres bagages. Résultat, toutes nos affaires sentent le poisson et on arrive toujours pas à faire partir l'odeur. Vu la quantité de vêtements ça va nous coûté très cher en frais de nettoyage. Entre 100 et 150 pesos le kilos, ça nous double le coût du voyage...

Is not the best ride I have made in my life, but not bad.

Not information about the arrival point. Which is very far from anywhere.

Good trip. Just a little worried about exceeding the loading capacity of the vehicle. We could clearly hear squeaking/creaking sounds throughout the journey with every turn and bump along the road. That is something that should be checked and attended to to help ensure passenger safety.

Trip went through smoothly. The only annoying part was when the driver decided to tune into an AM Station for a radio drama. It didn't help that the sound system was cracking.

There was no delay, we actually got to our destination early. But if you are a nervous person don't go with this company as they all drive super fast.

Driver drive to fast. The bus was over loaded and to cramped and too hot.
R
Van Regional 14pax, Recaro Transport, Nov 15, 2019
The driver drove way too fast everywhere. hit a dog along the way. Because the driver is driving so fast, you are shaken back and forth during the ride so you cannot sleep and you are shaken back and forth. The van we were transported in was completely full and almost no room for your legs.
Advice: pay a little bit more for a larger bus and hopefully also a safer fare.

Van Regional 14pax, Recaro Transport, Nov 6, 2019
Pros:
- Puntual
- only 3.5h
- friendly driver
Cons:
Cramped, like fish in a can, philippines style. If you are unlucky you get the shitty removable seat with no headrest or leg space.

Very fast! A bigger place to the luggage wouldn't be bad...anyway, it was supposed TO arrive to El Nido al 6 pm and we arrive at 4! Perfect ;)

Too many people on the van, no space for the legs, reckless driving and an alive rooster screaming on the back. The driver and the van from el Nido to port Barton were great. These were terrible.

Van Regional 14pax, Recaro Transport, Apr 17, 2019
We had several vans during our stay in Palawan. I think they are pretty much all the same : a lot of people in it (they add a "fake" chair to fit more people), too cold air conditionning, crazy driving... And sometimes also they are late (yet, not in this one). They give you no information about the place where they drop you at the end (I had the feeling the "final stop" depends on their mood/how well you negociate with them). The places behind the driver can be reserved, but they reserve it for 4 people as they are only 2 "nice" spots.
So for this ride, this way fine, but I almost believe this was luck... !

Très chargé, c'est péniblement que nous rejoindront el Nido.
C'est un peu la loterie. Ça dépend de l'état du van et de la taille de ton voisin
