The lines in passport control were long and slow, I was afraid we would lose our booking. When we finally finished, we were happy to find our ride just where they said they would be. The wait was maybe five minutes for the car. The car was clean and well maintained. The driver was very safe. We were at our hotel in no time, cool and relaxed. I will use them again!

You get what you pay for

Kimberly_M, Mar 2026
We were given wrong directions and the information on meeting point is also incorrect causing delay in finding our driver. We initially received a message from the tour operator to meet at Exit A, our flight information to Phuket was an international flight. When exiting there is no Exit A option, this is domestic flights only. Additionally, the meeting point says to leave exit 3-4, however again, at the international terminal there is only an exit 7-8 and 1-2. We walked back and forth between international and domestic terminal and could not find any indication of our driver. Finally; someone at the airport called the number that was provided to learn that it was indeed international terminal and in exit 1-2. It appears the tour company on Viator contracts out to a different company to pick you up. When we finally found the company TUI, the women who greeted us Katie or Kate was very nice and wonderful but with all the misinformation given to us initially had already put us in a foul mode. I highly suggest to get this information corrected on Viator as well as whomever is corresponding in the messages. Only rating Low stars due to this logistical issue. Aside from that, the driver was safe and got us to our destination and for the price of it, this is what we get

Thailand on Rails

John_H, Nov 2025
The ride was long and at times a bit scary due to speed. The traffic in Thailand is like New York but at 80 miles per hour. Driver did a great job and was very helpful with baggage.

Adequate

Mark_S, Nov 2025
After figuring out where to find our guide we eventually had a driver take us and our luggage to the resort. Waited 15 mins outside the terminal per the instructions before we realized we were in the wrong place. Then waited another 15 mins for them to send a driver.

None

Very punctual driver. Finding the counter was difficult . Can have a counter at the airport. Thank you.

Transfer from HKT

Deena_D, Oct 2025
Good arrival instructions. Name board was where we were told it was. Only issue is that this is an extremely popular holiday destination so there were hundreds of name boards. Tour information also provided.

Consistently reliable

Deborah_L, Jun 2025
This is the third airport pickup I've done with destination services. They are always reliable and service is great. I recommend them highly.

I am happy I did not reserve the return trip

danchemyu, May 2025
Did not showed up at meeting point for 1 hour, unable to reach them, had to take different transportation and refused to give me a refund through viator.

Great Service

Dane_R, Feb 2025
Very punctual, clean new vehicle, very simple and convenient! After a 15 hour flight, all I wanted to do was get to my Airbnb… they made that happen with NO issues!

Sad airport pickup x 2 so far

Jim_B, Jan 2025
So far, 2 times arrival at airport problems. This time, girl had sign backwards at meeting point with company name showing. Everybody else, has signs with names. This delayed me by almost 30 minutes. Ride was fine but traffic was some of the worst I have ever witnessed in over 60 years. My pick up from the 2 hotels have been fine but their airport service is lacking

Taxi was a no show

Bryce_N, Dec 2024
We waited for more than two hours at the airport, exhausted after traveling for two days, and our taxi never showed up. We called the telephone number listed and nobody answered. We ended up having to get a private taxi to our hotel instead.

Transfer (reliable and budget friendly)

LG_NYNY, Nov 2019
Transfer from Phuket airport to hotel. Excellent value for a transfer. It was supposed to be a shared ride, but I was (happily) the only passenger. The company was in touch via WhatsApp, which I appreciated. My driver was there with a sign so I was able to find him quite easily. The ONLY thing that was very annoying, unnecessary and pushy/aggressive was how the woman from the company literally called the hotel upon arrival and asked to put me on the phone. I was in the middle of checking in, and she was attempting to get me to book a return transfer with them. EXTREMELY rude, overly salesy and turned me off from booking the return with them (and I found a much lower transfer back to the airport with another company). Rather than CALL the hotel (stalkerish) the SECOND I walked thru the door, she should've contacted me on Whatsapp.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Hi, thank you very much for your comment and feedback. Apologize for the rush for the return transfer and i'll make sure this does not happen so quickly in the future. Kind Regards, Pascal

Phuket International Airport Arrival Shared Transfer

Elsie_K, Aug 2019
Instruction to the pick up was clearly written out and it wasnt difficult to locate signage. Co-ordinator was already waiting even though it took me an hour to clear immigration. Service was good and on time. They even provide an envelope of good information!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback, we constantly try to make our customer experience as best as we can and we are glad to see it working. Looking forward to have you with us another time. Kind Regards, Pascal

Decent service

Alise B, Jul 2019
Though I gave it a five it was more like 4.5. I paid for my service which was good and organized. My issue was they scheduled me to talk with a rep of their company the next day, I was a little put off by that bc my time was limited and planned... I was only in the city for 3 days.

Kept us waiting for ages when we arrived then refused to take us because she couldn’t find us on the list so ended up having to pay for a taxi anyway. I don’t understand how we couldn’t be on the list when we booked it with viator who provided the shuttle company name. Even when shown the voucher
