I booked the drive about an hour after the planned arrival time to be sure that we wouldn’t be too late. But to our suprise when we came out the gate half an hour after the arrival the driver was already there and we could start 30 min earlier which was really nice. He drove safely and was very polite.

We entered our destination address when we made the booking, however when the taxi driver collected us he had no idea where he had to drive us. He took him 45minutes to work it out, using our phone and google map to take us to our hotel.

Best experience. Boh is a great driver, knows the roads, drives very save during the evening and good communication about the environment as well. He also made a pitstop at 7/11 store, so that we could stack up and eat some snacks during the journey.
