Marloes KVery happy that they could pick us up from the hotel, but it felt like it was a livestock transport of tourists combined with a pick up point for locals..

Eveliina LShit information. They told us they will pick us up from the airport but we had to walk to their office. Nobody told us this before and some airport guy told us when we asked him. In the office we had to wait a lot and started our trip late. The trip took around 5 hours but we had to stay in the car over 6 hours.

Nicolas ADriver wasn't very friendly. He picked up my cousin and I along with another couple from the airport. He was on time and was waiting for at least one other person for about 15-20 minutes past the designated 5:30 pickup time. Then, he brought us to a nearby location where we were told to transfer to another van, which had people in it already. I'm guessing they just wanted to consolidate, which is fine but he should've at least told us that was the plan.
We were almost at maximum capacity when we left that second spot...but then we picked up one more person, who sat in the passenger side of the front. Then we went to the gas station to fill up. Why wasn't the van already full of gas?
We probably didn't get on the road until about 6:15pm. Even though he was on time as far as picking us up at the airport goes, we were still late in leaving Puerto Princesa.
I'll give the driver credit for driving FAST, especially since it was very dark. It felt like we were riding in a roller coaster!
We stopped at a restaurant as the halfway point for about 15 minutes.
We finally got to our destination but the driver didn't say much as far as info goes.
More than anything, the driver should've been more informative and friendly.

Travelling by van essentials
- Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
- There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
- Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
- There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
- Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
- It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
- Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
