Which Vehicle Fits Your Group?
First, start with two numbers: how many people, and how many large suitcases.

| 5 people | Hyundai H-1 | 5 | 6 | 5,500 THB |
| 5 people | Hyundai Staria | 5 | 6 | 6,000 THB |
| 6–7 people | Toyota Majesty | 7 | 6 | 7,000 THB |

Van or Minibus: Count the Bags, Not Only the People
For example, a 10-seat van is full at 10 people and 8 large bags. So if your group is 10 people and everyone has a big suitcase, the bags will not fit.
Therefore, for 14 people or more, book a minibus or two HiAce Commuter vans. A minibus keeps everyone together and carries up to 15 large bags. On the other hand, two vans give you 20 seats and 16 large bags, and the group can split up during the day.
Van Rental with Driver or Minibus Rental: What Each Costs
In short, every day hire is 10 hours with the driver, fuel, tolls, parking and insurance. Also, every passenger gets bottled water and a cold towel.
- Van rental with driver: the HiAce Commuter is 4,500 THB for 10 hours, or 3,500 THB for 5 hours. Overtime is 300 THB per hour. See our van with driver guide or book a van rental with driver.
- Minibus rental: we send the price by quote for your date and route. See our minibus with driver guide or the minibus rental Bangkok page.
Group Transport from the Airport
Landing at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang with a group? Then a HiAce Commuter from the airport to central Bangkok starts at 1,500 THB per trip. The price is per vehicle and includes the driver, fuel, tolls and airport parking. In addition, Meet & Greet is free.
Traveling with small children? In that case, a child seat is 300 THB, with up to 2 seats per vehicle. Also, for an airport transfer with 2 or more child seats, we use the HiAce Commuter.
