Grab usually 500–750 baht HKT to Kata off-peak; surges after late flight banks. Airport limo desk 800–1000 fixed if Grab cancels or you want zero haggle. Book Grab from level 1 pickup zone — follow signs, ignore curbside touts. Shared minibus ~180 baht if budget tight — waits until full, 90+ min, brutal with tired kids at 9pm. Child car seat not guaranteed on Grab — bring strap if toddler.
