Very good experience. Communication was easy and clear from the beginning. The driver, Olga, was very kind and friendly, and she was already waiting for me a. I had a tight schedule and was a bit worried about missing my flight, but everything went smoothly and I arrived at the airport on time. Reliable service, I would definitely use them.

Each time the driver arrived right on time and met me with a name sign, which made everything easy and completely stress-free. The drivers were polite, friendly, and very welcoming. The cars were clean and comfortable, and I felt safe throughout the journey. After traveling, it was such a relief to rely on such professional and well-organized service. I’m truly delighted with the experience and would recommend this company wholeheartedly. A perfect beginning and a perfect end to my trip!

Both rides we booked with KIWI taxi were as expected. Drivers were considered and cacreful drivers, on time and helpful with luggage. I forgot my handbag in the car at the ride from Klaeng to Bangkok. I need a special medicine which was in that handbag. Immidiately I contacted Kiwi by phone as well via chat via website. The responsible local manager and Anne Woods at chat were absolutely of help! It did not take a full hour and the driver brought my handback to the hotel. So even in case of an emergency this company is of help and did immidiately all needed to help me. I cannot stress how thankful I am and without any hesitation I recommend this company!

Very friendly driver that took us from BKK airport to Trat very smooth and comfortable. We were two and got plenty of room in the car. Driver spoke no english but we used Google Translate to communicate with each other. I would definitely use Kiwi taxi again and the same driver if I could choose.

We used Kiwitaxi for our transfers from Cruise ports in Vietnam (to Ho Chi Minh City) and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). Their communication was excellent all the way through, from the initial confirmation, to the day before when confirming driver details, to on the day with the driver. The service was excellent, with drivers on time, polite, and willing to go the extra mile to help. Would highly recommend their service.
