Spacious vehicle, we were picked up in a (still private) van instead of a sedan. Safe driver, was at our hotel even earlier than requested.

Our driver Mr Weekend was super punctual and very friendly. We made a short stop on the way to go to the toilet and buy a coffee or Thai tea. We arrived in aonang in the predicted time. Everything was perfect.

We wanted to be picked up earlier than I had reserved. This was no problem, good sevice! The car was comfortable. The driver unfortunately did not speak English. I pointed out to him that he was driving with two fingers on the wheel instead of two hands. Then he neatly kept his hands on the wheel. But this should be the standard!
The driver did not drive in a hurry nor was he overtaking all the time, which many cabs do. He did sometimes drive very fast through a curve. One time he did not brake and then we drove 120 km/h. I also said something about this. In short, still room for improvement to make the cab ride a safe one by this driver. Basic English is necessary to give a customer service, I think.

Wij wilden eerder opgehaald worden dan ik had gereserveerd. Dit was geen probleem, goede sevice! De auto was comfortabel. De chauffer sprak helaas geen Engels. Ik sprak hem erop aan dat hij met twee vingers aan het stuur reed i.p.v. twee handen. Daarna hield hij netjes zijn handen aan het stuur. Maar dit moet de standaard zijn!
De chauffeur reed niet gehaast en was ook niet de hele tijd aan het inhalen, wat veel taxi’s wel doen. Hij reed soms wel erg hard door een bocht. Hij remde een keer niet af en toen reden we 120 km/u. Ook hier heb ik iets van gezegd. Kortom, nog ruimte voor verbetering om de taxirit een veilige rit te maken door deze bestuurder. Basis Engels is wel nodig om een klant service te verlenen, vind ik.

Travelling by taxi essentials
To ensure you are picked up when required, book your taxi transfer in advance. It is vital to plan your journeys early if you are going to travel during the busiest periods – high season or just rush hours. Sometimes it will be impossible to book a long ride with the immediate departure – in the best-case scenario you will have to wait for hours, in the worth one – to postpone or cancel your trip.
Make sure you have clearly agreed on pick up and drop off locations prior to the trip. If getting to your location requires special instructions – e.g., road closures, non-resident cars are banned from entering your compound, etc. – let the driver know it in advance.
If you need to make a detour or are planning any stops during your taxi ride, want to check any tourist attractions or pick up additional passengers in locations other than your pick up point, inform your taxi company beforehand. Extra fees may be charged – or may not, depending on your route, the car type, and the company’s policy. Anyway, it is always better to confirm everything before your trip. If you fail to do so, your driver may not be able to meet your request enroute due to his further schedule – he may be assigned for another trip.
Not all the taxi drivers in any country are able to speak English. If you require an English-speaking driver, inform your taxi company about it in advance and get their confirmation. If your trip does not require any additional stops or deviations from the route, you can most probably survive it even with a non-English-speaking driver, can’t you?
If you have any other special requirements, e.g. a car seat for your kid or baby, a female driver, no car perfume, etc. require in advance. Additional fees may apply. Do not hesitate to ask your driver to switch off the music or stop talking if you do not feel like chatting – it is totally ok, just do it politely.
The majority of cars on offer are non-smoking, yet your driver can be a smoker and smoke outside the car, e.g. during the stops. If it is of importance to you, do not forget to mention ‘a non-smoking driver’ in comments or special requirements section.
It is usually prohibited to drink alcohol while in taxi – yes, even if you are just a passenger. The same refers to smelly foods or foods in general. In some Asian countries you will not be allowed to have durians in your luggage, either.
It is compulsory to use seat belts for all the passengers in a car no matter whether you occupy a front seat or rear seats. Locate your safety belt and fasten it even if your driver does not insist on it.
As a rule, there is a short waiting period included into your taxi rate quoted, especially if you travel from/to the airport or train station. Often it does not exceed 15 or 30 minutes. If longer waiting time is required, you will be charged extra after the trip. Check the rates your company offers before the trip.
