Transfers & Airport
A Phuket transfer is a car with a driver booked in advance: they meet your flight at Phuket International (HKT) with a name board and drive you for a fixed price, with no haggling at the exit. The AURA catalogue covers airport runs to Patong, Karon, Kata, Bang Tao, Rawai and Phuket Town, trips between beaches, and cars with a driver by the hour.
On the AURA shelf right now: 2 options, prices from 3,500 ฿. A request takes about a minute online, a human manager on the partner side confirms it, and payment happens after that, directly to the partner.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a transfer from Phuket airport cost?
It depends on the class of car and the district: the northern beaches (Bang Tao, Naithon) are closer than Patong, Karon or Rawai in the south. Current partner prices are on the cards in this section and in /pricing.md, and they are locked in when the request is confirmed.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
The partner tracks the flight number you gave in the request and brings the car for the actual landing time. There is no separate charge for waiting caused by a flight delay.
Will the driver meet me at the airport with a name board?
Yes. The driver meets you in arrivals with a name board and helps with the luggage; for that, the request gives the date, flight number, hotel and number of passengers.
Can I hire a car with a driver for several hours?
Yes. A partner in this section offers hourly hire with a driver and fuel in packages of 5, 6, 8 and 10 hours, with each extra hour charged separately. The price of every package is on the card.
Is there a VIP transfer with security?
Yes: the catalogue has a Toyota Alphard with a driver and two bodyguards, booked as a 10-hour escort package around Phuket. The partner quotes the price when confirming the request.
How long is the drive from Phuket airport to Patong?
Usually about an hour, longer at rush hour. The airport is at the north of the island, so Bang Tao, Surin and Naithon are closer, while Karon, Kata and Rawai are further than Patong.
Is booking through AURA more expensive than going to the partner directly?
No. The price is never higher than going to the partner directly, and some partners run promo terms on AURA links. On top of that you earn loyalty points: 200 on sign-up, 50 per request a partner accepts, up to 5% of a completed service, and points for a friend who pays for a first order through your link — with a discount on that order for them.
How quickly is a request confirmed?
The request itself takes about a minute. Confirmation is not automatic: a human manager on the partner side accepts it, and you get a notification on the site and in Telegram. It is usually quick, but the exact time depends on the partner.
