They could of gone with Toyota Alphards for the same price. Much more confortable than any Mercedes sedans and tons of luggage space.

Does anybody remember  the small Renaults they had here in the 1970s.

I see a huge amount of sales coming the way of BMW dealers !!!

The loss of face owning a merc that is used for taxis will be too much to take . ?

Yes,  lol,  the HI-SO Thais along Sukhmuvit/Ekhamai  will be appalled if they see a Merc with any kind of 'for hire' sign on it or worse ......'this is a farang friendly taxi, we speak English and  German.'

VIP means little here, same as for apartments with Mansion in the name.

The real VIP's know who they are anyway and dont hire.

Merc sales down.  Jag, Audi and BMW up.

The irony of course is that Jap engines & transmissions are far superior to German makes.

Not a bad idea but each taxi should have the following:

 

1. Competent, sober and alert driver

2. A modern meter(and the drivers have to use them)

3.  A printed receipt.

Wrong choice. Should have chosen E class or SUV models.

The E class and a GLC (SUV) are much more expensive than the C class.

So it will be about 500thb from Sukhumvit Terminal 21 (+tolls)

Pretty good as most taxis quote me 400thb anyways !

 

All Thai Taxi are a good company, nice taxis, polite drivers, you can also request English speakers I seem to recall.

I never was able to get taxi from them via their app. Works poorly and nobody ever answered the phone. Why would this change  because if "ViP car"?

I'm used them a fair amount, always been fine. Nice clean cars, drivers in silky jackets !

They always arrive early when pre-booking.

Did have one problem once when I booked a very early taxi and they cancelled it !
