What the price covers
The price in the table includes fuel, tolls and the pick-up at the airport, where the driver waits at Gate 2 next to Exit 2 for international flights or at Gate A for domestic ones. He follows your flight number, so a delayed plane does not cancel the pick-up.
Payment is made when you book, by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Fast Track at the airport is optional and works on arrival only.
Why it is a price per car
The 40 km to Patong has a set price, so a slow evening on Patong Hill or a queue at the town entrance does not add anything to it. Passengers do not change it either. What changes it is the size of the car.
The cheapest car that fits your group
| Your group | Car | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 passengers with luggage | Sedan | 999 THB |
| 4 passengers with luggage | SUV / MPV | 1,199 THB |
| 5 to 9 passengers with luggage | Minibus | 1,499 THB |
| Up to 8, premium cabin | VIP Minibus | 1,999 THB |
A few sums help. Six people need either two sedans at 1,998 THB in total or one minibus at 1,499 THB, so the minibus wins. The booking is always priced per car, so compare cars, not headcounts.

Comparing it with other ways to Patong
Buses, shared vans, street taxis and ride-hailing all have prices that change with season, time of day and queue length, so check the current figure on the day rather than trusting an old number. When you compare, count the whole group and the luggage, and add the time you spend waiting and changing vehicles. The how-to-get page sets the options side by side.
