The driver was kind and on time but unfortunately he picked up a friend (l guess) in Amman so we lost 1 hour turning around Amman to pick up this guy and arrived in Petra after 4 hours instead of 3! We had 3 cigarette stops during the transfer, maybe too much (we do not smoke). No air conditioning and we travelled with open windows, but after 2 hours we asked air condition and to close windows because the noise gave us headache.

Communication was good - the driver contacted me the day before and offered to leave at an earlier time, which I accepted. I was picked up from the hotel that I chose when booking and shared the car with two others. It was air conditioned and comfortable and the journey took about three hours.
