Question

How to order a taxi from the airport without cash?

Insider's Response

If you arrive in Phuket without any cash and plan to exchange money later, you can get from the airport to the city in the following ways:

Book a transfer in advance. You can do this on websites like GetTransferAlphaTravel , or AsiaPhuket . When placing your order, you’ll need to specify the number of passengers, the car class, and whether you need a child seat. Payment can be made online by card. After that, you’ll receive the vehicle details. All that’s left is to find your driver at the airport — usually, tourists are met with a sign showing their surname in the arrivals area.

Use a taxi app. Read about the taxi apps that operate here.

Important: Only Grab taxis are allowed to enter Phuket Airport; they have an official pick-up point. You can download the app in advance, link a working card, and order a taxi.

Getting around Phuket is most convenient with rented transport. Choose a motorbike for short trips around the island or a comfortable car for a family or a large group.
