Punctual, comfortable car, great communication and safe drivers. As an added bonus the operator is a tour company so I was able to easily organise a tour during my stay in Cameron Highlands. Highly recommended

Everything went smoothly for the transfer from Kuantan to KL. The transport provider emailed me and the driver Mr Jaya WhatsApp me one day before the trip. Even though the pickup was scheduled for 12 noon, we saw Mr Jaya’s van parked beside the hotel at 10.30am. Mr Jaya was patient, giving my elderly parents time to slowly board and alight from the van. He was also considerate, stopping twice during the 4.5-hour journey for us to take toilet breaks. He also helped us to load and unload our luggage and bags, and drove carefully, ensuring our safety.

It was a modern, clean bus. The seats were comfortable too. There were charging options for cell phones and free WiFi. Departure was on time and the ride went smoothly.

Thank you to JIN for the warm hospitality. He proactively contacted me the day before and accommodated the cruise ship's early arrival (first photo) by arriving early and waiting outside the pier. The pier was very crowded with people and vehicles, but Jin had already sent photos of his outfit for the day, license plate, and parking spot via the app. We quickly met and confirmed each other's identities. Upon learning our main purpose and attractions for this trip, he also gave us itinerary adjustment suggestions to avoid traffic jams, and introduced local attractions, customs, and architecture along the way, giving us rich gains and knowledge. We bought souvenirs, enjoyed the scenery, ate local fruits and ice cream, and strolled through the alleys of Georgetown, successfully spending 4 full hours in Penang.

Luckily, I had already downloaded the Easybook app to pay the facility charge and QR code charge, so I was able to get my e-ticket smoothly and depart on time. The bus seats were comfortable and the air conditioning was sufficient. However, because it was a public holiday, there was a huge traffic jam on the highway, turning what should have been a 2.5-hour journey into almost 5 hours. After that, I had to take a 30-minute Grab ride to Ipoh city center on my own.

Great service. They reached out to me the day before to confirm the details, with a webchat service, and accommodated an earlier departure time (30 minute adjustment). The driver was friendly and arrived a few minutes early. I would be happy to use the transfer service again

Having had several booking experiences before, I already trust this platform quite a bit. It really is reliable. We were traveling from Penang back to Kuala Lumpur and thought we could buy plane tickets at any time, but we discovered that the ticket prices had increased three or four times. The deluxe bus we wanted to take the most was also sold out, so we decided to charter a car. We needed to get from the hotel to Kuala Lumpur Airport and chose the wrong order. The platform contacted me promptly by email, explaining that it would cost an additional 200 MYR to go to the airport. To save trouble, we agreed. The email said that we could just give the driver 200 MYR when we got there, which was very convenient. The email also told me in advance the license plate number, photo, and driver's phone number of the car that would be picking us up. I contacted the driver via WhatsApp, and everything went smoothly. The car was in good condition and very clean, and the driver was very nice. When we rested at the rest area, he told us that we could take our time to look around and didn't rush us at all. Overall, I am very satisfied with this trip.

It was a good 1-hour experience with the kids. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too hot, which made it even better. It was nice to be able to eat fruit and see plants that are common on farms. One downside is that the English guide didn't seem to have excellent English skills. However, there were no communication problems at all.
