Private Airport Transfer

A private transfer from either Bangkok airport to a city hotel cost $31.96 per car for up to two travelers on the most-reviewed listings when we checked on 12 October 2026, with expressway tolls included. An SUV for up to four adults cost about $42 for one or two, and a van for up to nine about $55 per vehicle. Suvarnabhumi is about 31 km from the city and Don Mueang about 25 km.

Per car or per person: check the price basis first

Most listings sell one vehicle for your party, but some price per person. On a per-car listing such as My Bangkok Holiday’s Suvarnabhumi hotel transfer, two travelers share one fare of $31.96. It is the most-reviewed listing we compare, rated 4.77 from 4,833 reviews (our review). On a per-person listing you multiply: Dida Global’s Suvarnabhumi transfer was $18 each when priced for two, so $36 for the pair, and its Don Mueang twin was $13.50 each, or $27 for two.

Viator’s per-person listings also show a solo price. MY Holiday’s free-tollway transfer was THB 550 each for two, about $34 in total, or THB 1,000 for one traveler, about $31 (our review). The SUV listing works the same way, so for one or two people both behave like a price per car. For three or more, enter your real headcount and compare the total with a van.

Which vehicle fits your group

My Bangkok Holiday’s sedan takes one or two travelers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. OTO Trip’s Suvarnabhumi transfer, $32.72 when priced for two, assigns the vehicle by headcount: a sedan for one or two, an SUV for three or four, a van for five to seven (our review). One Asia’s Camry takes three passengers and three standard bags for $31.82, and Jub BKK Taxi carries up to three for $34 per vehicle.

For three or four adults with full-size cases, book the Bangkok Urban Private Tours SUV transfer. The listing states room for four adults with four large suitcases, includes all tollway and parking fees, and gives 120 minutes of waiting from landing. It is rated 4.7 from 198 reviews (our SUV transfer review).

Groups of five or more need a van. Blue Jade’s arrival transfer was THB 1,810, about $55, per vehicle for up to nine passengers, with tolls, parking and airport fees included (our review). My Bangkok Holiday’s Viator listing covers up to eight from either airport, with options at about $31, $34 and $50 per vehicle. It does not say which vehicle each option buys, so choose by passenger count when you book.

For a newer or larger car, Manna Limousine sells Suvarnabhumi transfers from an eco car at $40.14 to a Mercedes E-Class at $95.16 and an S-Class at $178.40, all per vehicle with expressway and car park fees included. Its Toyota Commuter van was $47.58 when priced for two (our review).

Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang

Most listings serve one airport, so check the code on your e-ticket. Suvarnabhumi (BKK), about 31 km east of the city, has the wider choice. At Don Mueang (DMK), about 25 km north, My Bangkok Holiday’s Don Mueang transfer costs the same $31.96 per car for up to two, includes the expressway fee and 90 minutes of waiting after landing, and is rated 4.77 from 472 reviews (our review). Dida Global’s Don Mueang car is cheaper for two, but its listing does not mention tolls.

The SUV, Blue Jade and MY Holiday listings say “Bangkok airport” without naming BKK or DMK, so state your airport in the booking. Several listings add THB 500 for a trip between the two airports or to a hotel near one; the Suvarnabhumi to Don Mueang guide covers that ride and the free shuttle. For every other way out, see the Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang guides.

Tolls, waiting time and the meeting point

In a metered taxi you pay the tolls yourself. Tolls are included by My Bangkok Holiday at both airports, OTO Trip, Manna Limousine, Dida at Suvarnabhumi, the SUV listing and Blue Jade, and MY Holiday’s title promises a free tollway. Dida at Don Mueang, One Asia, Jub BKK Taxi and My Bangkok Holiday’s Viator listing do not mention tolls, so ask.

Free waiting after landing runs from 90 minutes (Dida, Jub BKK Taxi, MY Holiday and My Bangkok Holiday at Don Mueang) to two hours (OTO Trip, One Asia and the SUV listing). After that, Dida charges THB 50 per 15 minutes at Suvarnabhumi and One Asia THB 300 an hour. Manna, Blue Jade and My Bangkok Holiday at Suvarnabhumi state no free period, so ask.

Suvarnabhumi meeting points differ by operator: Gate 4 in the arrivals hall for My Bangkok Holiday and Jub BKK Taxi, Exit 3 on Floor 2 by the escalator railing for OTO Trip, Gate 3 opposite the airport information counter for One Asia, and a red “Hello” sign beside the information counter for Dida. At Don Mueang, My Bangkok Holiday and Dida both meet at Gate 5 for international arrivals and Gate 11 for domestic ones.

Practical booking checklist

• Pickup location: note the gate in your confirmation, and call the operator if you cannot find your name. Ignore anyone who says your driver is unavailable.
• Tolls: look for “expressway fee” or “tollway” in the included list.
• Luggage: count your cases. Sedans here take two or three, and Dida allows one 24-inch case per person.
• Child seats: OTO Trip charges THB 200 per seat each way, the SUV listing and My Bangkok Holiday’s Viator listing THB 500, and My Bangkok Holiday on GetYourGuide sells one as an add-on. Thailand’s traffic law includes a child-seat rule for young children, though reports differ on when police began enforcing it.
• Cancellation: every listing here offers free cancellation, up to 24 hours before on GetYourGuide. Two Viator listings, MY Holiday and My Bangkok Holiday, refuse refunds if your flight details arrive less than 24 hours before landing.

Practical tips

• Book the return at the same time: My Bangkok Holiday’s round trip was $63.94 at Suvarnabhumi and $59.48 at Don Mueang.
• Several listings serve central Bangkok hotels only, and One Asia charges THB 100 to 200 in cash outside its area.
• If you land near midnight, the Airport Rail Link has stopped for the night, so a car already booked saves a late queue.
• Heading to the coast? See the Pattaya and Hua Hin guides.

What we checked

We compared twelve private listings on GetYourGuide and Viator that run between Bangkok’s two airports and city hotels, chosen for review volume, rating and how clearly each states its price basis. GetYourGuide prices come from a date scan for two adults on 12 October 2026. Viator prices are the listings’ baht tiers converted at each listing’s own rate, so the dollar figures are approximate. Inclusions vary by listing, so read the included list before you pay.
