Allan IThe vehicle was old and vibrated all the way there. Which I suspect was an alignment problem or a crooked wheel. We never went over 70. He was keeping it at 60 65 to save gas. He spent more time looking at his phone and emails. Then looking at the road. He had to put the brakes on twice very hard because he didn't notice the traffic in front of him. This is my fourth time using 12 go. And every time I use it in Cambodia. It is not good when I use it in thailand the vehicles are new clean, not like here in cambodia

Shannon LSIMA Car was great! I accidentally booked the wrong pickup time do to the time change and they were able to send a car to pick me up early from the airport! The van was incredibly nice and clean and had seatbelts. The driver was great and I felt safe the entire time! I would highly recommend SIMA for any future transfer needs!

Jean-francois LThe car mechanical maintenance has been neglected. It stalled 6 or 7 times on the way (5 hour drive). Every time, it seems like it barely starts and it is only by pure luck that we made it to our final destination. It was a different car/driver for the return.

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.
