I texted them the day before to confirm my pick up time and was told 8 to 8.30. Driver arrived at 8.35, picked up 3 others and arrived at the airport in Phuket around 10. Travel by mini van for 550 baht, much better than any pickup taxi for triple the price.

We were picked up on time, but later on we had to deviate from the itinerary because after the driver dropped off passengers at the airport, which was not right because we needed to get to Patong (your company should have only taken passengers arriving in Patong and not taken in additional passengers traveling to another destination, thus extending the trip), the driver picked up a large number of passengers who barely had room, and even with these passengers, he made another detour to the pier to drop them off, so that in reality a two and a half hour trip according to the reservation took about 5 hours until we reached our hotel in Patong.

They sent me a message two hours beforehand to tell me that departure time had been brought forward by an hour (5:30 p.m. instead of 6:20 p.m.). I had to hurry and arrived slightly early. At 6:00 p.m., a bus arrived that didn't look like the one in the photo. I asked if it was the right one, and they said yes, then no, then rushed me to put my bag on without confirming the destination... I finally arrived at the right place on time, so thank you for that, but it was unnecessary stress.

I thought I booked a private taxi all the way to Phuket AirPort, but halfway to Phuket I had to change over to a minibus full of other people. This vehicle stopped at a gas station for almost 15 mins, and no information was given why. On arrival at the airoport I was dropped off at Domestic Arrivals instead of Departures, and used considerable time finding my way to the check-in counters.

The driver come to my hotel 45 mins earlier than the scheduled time, so I suggest future guests to arrive at the pickup point eaelier enough (the guidelines also said it could be 45 mins ealier or later depending on the situations). We arrived at the airport exactly on time. So, there's nothing I want to complain about, but it would have been much more convenient if there was a temporary WhatsApp group to notify about the estimated time of the pickup. The driver spoke sufficient but limited English, so it might be too much to ask for.
