The two principal things which make travelling by van so attractive are a wide choice of destinations and affordable prices. Not all vans offer top comfort, enough legroom, or luggage space, but these two points compensate. Besides, it is always vans that launch new routes to emerging destinations paving the road to big bus operators if necessary or remaining the only means of transport to bring you there. Very often, vans offer faster service than big buses, more flexible timetable, and more readily adapt to travellers’ needs in the sense of schedule – if there is a temporary growth in demand due to long weekends or national holidays, vans add more vehicles to their daily fleet easier than other operators. Note though that sometimes vans operate from their own van stations or terminals or have a dedicated section in bigger bus terminals. Always check your van's departure and arrival point as it is not necessarily located at the main bus station.
Call Me Taxi is one of the operators to check if you are going to travel by van. They provide reliable van service and offer tickets with easy and secure online booking.

Call Me Taxi Top Destinations
Some of the most popular routes on Call Me Taxi’s route map include but are not limited to:
Opposite to trains or bigger buses, vans rarely offer you a choice of ticket class. All the seats are the same – call it standard, VIP, or whatever. What can differ, though, is the type of the van itself. Some vans seat only 9-10 passengers. For travellers this means wider seats, more space, and a more comfortable trip. Vans which accommodate up to 15 passengers are also ok but be ready to sacrifice on space for your legs and elbows and very often – for your luggage, too. Sometimes it can be a good idea to buy two seats instead of one to ensure a more comfortable ride – yet it pays to check with the operator if they allow this on your route. Before you book your van ticket, read reviews on Call Me Taxi van service to see what to expect.
Travel by Van: Pros & Cons
Pros of VanTravel
Vans can be the only way to reach some of the most remote destinations, smaller towns or villages which are connected neither by big buses nor trains.
Vans can also take you to some islands connected with the mainland by large car ferries which do not take big buses but take vans on board, too.
Due to a smaller size compared to big buses, vans are more maneuverable on the road. It sometimes results in shorter travel time, especially if your destination is not far away.
While vans do have an official stop enroute, they can also get you off at a more convenient point – no need to go to the terminal, just ask your driver. Note that it is not always possible, but in many cases, they will cooperate. It can save you both time and money you would have otherwise spent getting off the terminal on foot or by taxi.
Cons of Van Travel
Vans accommodating more passengers may feel quite cramped. Expect limited space for your legs and elbows. Some vans limit the luggage for one ticket to one piece. If you have more bags, suitcases, or backpacks, you may be asked to buy a separate ticket for your luggage, which makes the trip twice as expensive.
Not all vans run on schedule. On certain routes, vans leave only when full. Do check it with your operator before buying your ticket, otherwise, you may end up waiting much longer than expected until the van fills up.
If there are more reckless drivers on any other means of transport than on vans, we are unaware of it. Some companies install speed control units on their vehicles, but it is not a rare case to hear this unit beeping the whole trip through with the driver not paying attention to it. Always remember to buckle your seatbelt while travelling by van. Though sometimes you will need to make an investigation to find out where your seatbelt is.
For those prone to motion sickness there is a good piece of advice: take your medicine half an hour before your van trip, especially if your route includes winding stretches. You are more likely to feel motion sick travelling by van than by bus.

We had a pick up from the hotel and were leaving with the van from a central point in Koh Sok. This point was just new, clean, comfortable and offered drinks like coffee. All seats in our van were full but still the trip was rather comfortable. The driver was driving correct and give us in the middle a coffeebreak. I can recommand this transfer.

The cab picked up passenger for different city too thereby took a long detour thereby journey got extended by additional two hours and didnt reach the destination at promised time. Also have to find the driver of our own at unknown place. There was no call from the driver if he has come or not nor was the meeting point mentioned on the voucher.

He was a good driver but he told me hes gonna drop me off first, wo i knew when we areive and told the air bnb person. Then out if nowhere, he passed where I would stay and made me sit in the van for another 35 minutes to drop people off that lived much further away. Just so he could save 2 minutes for himself- he said he lived where I stayed so it was on his way home… caused me problems because the person that should have let me in was gone by then. I was quite angry.

The ferry boat was excellent: well organized, comfortable seats.
But the taxi ride was not pleasant at all: well organized were cramped with 11 people in one van. I had to sit in the back, between the suitcases and I felt trapped. The driver was also speeding so I was afraid the whole time.

A point to point transfer was complicated by having to tell different drivers 5 times our destination. We had van swaps, 3 different drivers, forced waits at different points and no one who really even knew where we had paid to be transferred to. Ferry was great. Call me taxi was not.

Nowhere did it say we will stop in Khao Sok to drop people off and pick more people up. Adding an extra 2 hours to the trip. My Airbnb host was very upset that I was so late and almost did not let me in for the night. Also, I have back problems and the extra time sitting was VERY BAD!

The driver arrived late, only 5 minutes but there was no communication. However the main issue was driving through phuket checkpoint on the way to the pier the driver was pulled in, he threw a bag to the rear and said "sorry" landing under the seat in front of me, this was a private transfer for myself, husband and two children. The driver was searched and then the van was searched and they found the bag, I do not know what was in the bag but assume drugs of some description, he then had to drive to the nearest atm to get cash to pay the fine back at the checkpoint

Long waiting time at Sura thani port 1,5h.
After arriving at the port at 12:30pm all other passengers left with the buses. I was the only one who walked down the peer to the minivan pickup. Start of the Minivan was scheduled at 2pm. We actually started 20 min before time because i was the only one. We picked up another passenger at the other port.
Driver went really fast and tries to overtake whenever possible.
Event without any traffic we arreved at 4:30pm, 1h later then scheduled. So the scheduled time ist not realistic at all. I would not recommend this trip.

The driver arrived an hour late; there was no explanation or apology, he was very rude and didn’t even say hello. The driver was driving far too fast. And there was no further information about the schedule, ferry departure times and so on; they just handed us the ferry ticket. Up until now, all the transfers we’ve booked with you have gone smoothly, but this time we were unlucky.

the 10 people shared van was a very practical choice for getting straight to the airport from Khao Lak to Phuket. Driver picked me up 10 mins before the agreed time but i was already waiting- the driver was kind and respectful- The van was almost full and there was space just for a small hand luggage. Comfortable seats and air conditioning in the van!

It would have been good to know in advance when the bus would stop and how many times. The driver was really friendly but it would be good if they could speak a little more English or at least give you a brochure so you know what's going on and who will be staying at each stop.

I paid for a hotel transfer, but 12Go said my hotel is outside their delivery zone.
Why don’t you clearly mark the area where hotel transfers are available?
It’s not okay to take the money first and then say, “Sorry, your hotel is out of the delivery area.
Therefore a very disappointed experience with this company.
