We had already been gone for 30 mins and the driver turned around to pick up 2 people who had not respected the meeting point, 2 other people were due to stop at the airport but changed at the last minute and the driver agreed.... As a result, in addition to the traffic jams on arrival in Phuket, arrival Time was past 7:30 pm instezd of 6:30 pm.

Der Wagen, der uns am Hotel abgeholt hat, hatte eine Panne. Innerhalb von 10 Minuten war ein Ersatzfahrzeug vor Ort und hat uns weiter gefahren. Sehr professionell und freundlich. The car that picked us up from the hotel broke down. A replacement vehicle arrived within 10 minutes and took us on our way. Very professional and friendly.

Very professional Very good value Very online although they do have a reasonable hotline if required .. Make sure you get it right first time as I made a small error when initially booking at even though I contacted them within 2 minutes to advise the change after receipt of their confirmation, they insisted I pay a rebooking charge… this was a little annoying. They should have a small cooling off period for any slight errors on booking on THEIR portal that I was using for the first time.
