How long does the drive take?
The airport lies in the north of the island, so the drive depends on where your hotel is. As a guide: Mai Khao and Nai Yang are ten to fifteen minutes from the terminal, Bang Tao and Surin about half an hour, Kamala, Patong and Phuket Town forty-five minutes to an hour, and Karon, Kata, Rawai and Nai Harn an hour or a little more. Late-afternoon traffic around Patong and Phuket Town can add to that; for the way back to the airport we set the pick-up time with a margin.
Where the driver meets you
After an international flight, your driver waits outside Exit 2, in the area for representatives, with your name on a sign. After a domestic flight the driver stands inside the arrival hall, opposite the PP Mart. Give us your flight number when you book, so the driver knows when you land.
Book ahead or take a taxi at the airport?
You can also take a taxi from the counters in the arrival hall, and for a couple with light luggage that works. A transfer booked ahead gives you certainty: the price is agreed in writing, the driver knows your flight and your hotel, a family of six fits into one vehicle with its suitcases — and after a twelve-hour flight nobody has to queue or negotiate.
From the airport beyond Phuket
The same fixed-price transfers run from Phuket Airport to the mainland: Khao Lak for ฿2,040 (see Phuket Airport to Khao Lak), Krabi and Ao Nang for ฿4,200, the entrance of Khao Sok National Park for ฿4,980, and Donsak Pier, where the ferries leave for Koh Samui, for ฿7,140 — per vehicle and way in Classic.
Extras: guide and fast track
An English-speaking guide can ride along: ฿1,200 per vehicle and way. A German- or French-speaking guide is ฿2,160 and on request. For international arrivals there is a fast-track service at ฿2,160 per person: you are met on arrival, taken through the immigration fast track and accompanied to baggage claim and on to your vehicle. It can only be booked together with a transfer.
How to book

We confirm in the chat, usually within a few hours. Book at least 72 hours ahead; a transfer cancelled 24 hours or less before pick-up is charged in full.
