EDIT UPDATE 2

Sorry but I'd thought I'd try and be helpful and share what I know.  Please be careful when using  a fairly new taxi app,  that is not grab or bolt but operates In the south and now in Pattaya. We order a taxi from our hotel in Ao Nang to go to Krabi airport and the first driver accepted the job then on way to pick us up, demanded double the quote, so I cancelled him. He was rude with it. The second guy accepts the job, picks us up, pretends he couldn't read the sat nav, gets us lost, demands double the fare to the airport and we got there late for check in, but they let us on. Never will I use this app again, a nightmare. Thanks

EDIT UPDATE 

Thanks for all the positive ideas and suggestions. We used Pattaya Taxi pattaya By danny by yesterday. They were brilliant. On time, polite, helpful, great car and price. I would definitely use them again. Thanks 

Hello, anyone on here used Bolt from Don Meung Airport to Pattaya, good or bad experiences welcome. On the app,  it gives a price for the taxi but doesn't include tolls. Do I pay for the tolls separately or is there a way of adding them to the price on the app. I'm intending to book the taxi after I land in T2, so I assume they have cabs at the airport. Thanks for helpful answers please.

Answer summary

The discussion focuses on experiences using various taxi services from Don Mueang Airport to Pattaya, including the Bolt app. Users share negative experiences with a lesser-known taxi app resulting in rude drivers and inflated fares, while praising a specific service, Pattaya Taxi by Danny, for reliability and good service. Questions about how tolls are handled in taxis booked through apps are also addressed, with several participants providing insights and recommendations for safer travel options.

Don Meaung airport is not easy, due to its far north location.

I had my experience from BKK to Hua Hin with Bolt: what they like to do is tell you that they want to drive without using Bolt (for the same price) because this is how they avoid paying the Bolt fees. I agreed once and everything went smooth. But the second time when we stepped out the taxi the driver asked for a 500 baht higher fee and basically scammed us. Lesson learnt: I wouldn't do long distance with Bolt or Indrive or any of those apps. Just Google taxi services and book a proper taxi.

We used Jack Taxi for our trip to Koh Chang!

Can’t remember the exact cost, but it was reasonably cheap & we were dropped off at the hotel! Extremely friendly & safe driver, happy to stop anytime along the way!!

Worth requesting a quote anyway 👍

cheers Phil if you have the details I'd be grateful. We got what we thought was a reasonably priced recommended taxi on facebook to the airport and nearly got wiped out, the cab was knackered and kept breaking down on the busy motorway, honestly scared the life out of us
