About Sarah Transport Laos
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?
Sarah Transport Laos 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 Sarah Transport Laos?
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.

Van Minivan + Sleeper Bus, Sarah Transport Laos, Sep 22, 2026
We booked our night drive from Vang Vieng in Laos to Pakse through Sarah Transport. They were responsive and informed us on whatsapp about our journey which was nice.
Unfortunately we were dropped off outside of Pakse centre which was not the drop off point as mentioned on the digital ticket that we got from 12go. Thus we had to take an additional taxi into town which costs us extra. I informed Sarah Transport about it on which they responded that the drop off on the ticket was not the right one.
It is the fact that they did not deliver on what is promised on the ticket that I'm giving them an average score. Also after mentioning this to the company they did not respond back anymore. Not even an apology for the inconvenience.
The bus also didn't feel very VIP-like although I'm not sure what the standards are here. I wouldn't book again. It felt overpriced.
Safe travels!

Confirmation was immediate and it was easy to find the departure point. Van was nicer than others I recently booked in Laos. We arrived on time with one short stop (2 hr trip Vang Vieng to Vientiane). There is very little legroom since the seats recline, but at least it is more comfortable for your back.

Bus was old and a bit broken but confortable enough. No proper stop to go to the toilet on a 7 hour bus ride (toilet on the bus not good at all and only a quick stop in a field!!!)

(This is for the Vientiane -> Vang Vieng bus/van). It was okay. It was not the same van/bus as the picture, it was much older. But it worked so I don’t really care. Our hotel was out of the pick up area so we went to the sarah transport office (near veintiane night market area) 30min before the time it was scheduled for like we were told. We didnt end up getting picked up until 30min after the initial time we were given - so we were there waiting for almost an hour. Didn’t bother us, but that information just wasn’t clear. We were fine waiting there though, there was outlets to charge our phone and it was cool in the building.

Information was clear. Tour operator office was easy to find, there was a waiting area, toilet, and the woman running it spoke good English. Left and arrived on time. The minivan was comfortable enough, although not a lot of leg room. One toilet stop just before arriving in Vientiane.

Driver of the first leg of the journey wasn't great. (Speeding, playing on his phone whilst overtaking) However the communication and service by Sarah company was excellent. There was a car waiting for us at the 1st drop off point which took us to our bus. The lady collected our tickets for us and checked which bus we would be boarding. She made sure we had everything we would need, and if we had any questions before leaving. Excellent service, let down only by the 1st driver.

We booked two trips with Sarah Transport (Vientiane -> Vang Vieng and Vang Vieng -> Pakse via overnight bus). Both times everything worked well. For the night bus trip there were long waiting times at the office of Sarah Transport in Vientiane and again at the bus terminal. But these were communicated clearly beforehand and we knew what we signed up for. We were a bit nervous about the night bus but they did a good job explaining everything. They brought us to the bus station and walked us to the bus we needed to take. The night bus itself was an adventure, for sure. IF YOU ARE A SOLO TRAVELLER be aware that you'll share your bed with another person. The beds are quite small and I doubt it's possible to sleep in there without physical contact. If you don't mind, you're good. In case that's a problem for you, you might want to find yourself a travel companion beforehand that you don't mind spooning for the 10h you'll be on that bus (we arrived at 7:00am, scheduled arrival was at 8:00am). We travelled as a married couple so that was fine.

This could have been at least 1 hour shorter. We waited a long time for other people at pickup and then again for the same people at the toilet break.
At some point you have to leave people behind/not take them, I am sorry. What other sense does a pickup time make?

Everything was well organized and I always received quick feedback. They also give us a car instead of a van since we were only three people in the group.

We arrived at our destination eventually but there were multiple (unannounced) car swaps with no further explanation. Also one of the drivers was driving quite recklessly.

As there were only four of us on the journey the bus left once we had all assembled, twenty minutes early.
The bus was comfortable, aircon worked fine and the road between Vientiane and Vang Being was good and clear.

The price is not as it is listed as you have to pay extra for the toll. Just bear that in mind if your considering your options as you’ll have to pay 140,000 extra

It Was Ok. We arrived late and even after that the driver didn't know where to go. So I was actually guiding him to final destination with Google maps.
Overall it was fine.

Overall good. The process was easy and the staff were super helpful.
However, I wish I was given information more upfront. I did not know where I was going and what the next steps were. Most importantly, 12GO should have made it very explicit that the sleeper bus to Pakse from Vientiane is shared. If I had known, I would have booked for both seats and not shared with a stranger.

It arrived late about 8 hours. It was said to be at 2.30 pm and it arrived at 10 pm. The driver in Cambodia was very unpolite. He was doing some small business during the journey he stopped very often and we waited. We had to seat with our backpacks on our feet. The wind screen in the car was half broken.

Van Minivan + Sleeper Bus + Minivan, Sarah Transport Laos, Feb 5, 2025
The sleeper bus was VIP and great and the lady at the terminal was extremely friendly, assisting us to get our tickets and take us to the correct bus.
Once you cross the border you are told to wait at a coffee shop, however it’s non functional and we waited best part of an hour here. You are then put in a minivan which takes you to a restaurant. We had to wait here for two hours, and was told we’d be on the first bus to Siem reap. Of course, more and more people turned up and we saw people getting on buses to Siem reap before us despite our group being left at the restaurant over an hour longer than those.
Once we arrived in Siem reap we were told we would get a free Tuktuk to our hotel but BEWARE as the guy who got us in his tuktuk(once we had loaded all our bags and were sat waiting to go) wouldn’t stop trying to sell us his other tours and then said we needed to cover 3 USD for his gasoline for the ten minute journey. After a 24 hour travelling day this is NOT what we needed.
