Private driver by the hour: common questions
What is included in the hourly rate?＋
The driver, fuel and parking anywhere on Phuket island are included in the IslandTransfer rate you see — no meter, no surprise add-ons. Nothing is charged when you book; you settle with your driver at the end of the day. Entrance fees to temples or attractions, your driver's meal, and any tip are not included and are paid separately as you go.
Can I change the plan while we are out?＋
Yes. An IslandTransfer hourly booking is a private charter, not a fixed-stop tour — tell your driver where to go next and how long to stay. As long as you stay within your booked hours (or add more at the same per-hour rate), the plan is entirely yours.
What if I need more hours than I booked?＋
Just tell your driver — extra hours are billed at the same fixed rate (฿300/h sedan, ฿300/h van) and added to what you pay at the end of the day. No separate booking needed.
Can the driver take us off the island — Phang Nga, Khao Lak, Krabi?＋
Yes, with a small surcharge on top of the hourly rate, confirmed with you before you book so there are no surprises.
Tell us your plan — we will match you with the right local driver.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up. We usually confirm within a couple of hours.
