How many passengers can Kevin accommodate? We are a party of 5

5 is no problem. He can take up to 12.

Not sure if I ever met Kevin but it seems anyone who is remotely honest and helpful could make a fortune hauling people from the airport to the ferry terminal for $145 each way!!!!!! in a van worth about $2k... really! Seems most of the guys like to stand around and touch your bag for two seconds and ask for money... the classic line "I take care of your bags, you take care of me... he carry's drags them 3 feet and goes to the next guy for a tip.

Personally, I love the guy who wears the "KILLIN IT" hat..

I seem to shed more money from STT to the base in RT than anywhere else LOL

145.00 ?? ya got to kidding. You're not going to meet Kevin at the Taxi stand. 40.00 with a generous tip from STT to the ferry is the most we've paid. And you don't wait for the cattle car to fill.

Rhans, I fly stand by just so I can afford to call Big K Kevin and slip him a grand to drop me off at the Beach Comber Hotel <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Nice one <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Doh.gif" alt="" />

But yes... at the ferry stand they charge $9pp to the ferry terminal +$3per small bag and $6per large bag. They wait till they fill the van and dispatch it. So yes, they make between $120 and $160 each way.

So You are saying Kevin is different and his base rate even for 10 adults is $40.00 total ($4 per person including bags) to the Ferry sttn? Saying it this way is actually helpful information to the forum.

curious about this too. I am only traveling with 2 total, would kevin still charge me $40?
this would be worth it for me, but wouldn't be worth it if the cost is more than that...
what are your experiences?

I don't believe kevin charges any more per head than the airport taxi association. Independent drivers can't solicit business inside the airport area. Kevin is not a member of the association so he can only do airport pickups by pre-aranged call. The difference is his service is so much more personal.

Thanks for clarifying Glenn! Also, have you ever finished Rutu? Sorry if you covered this somewhere in that past 10 years... I see someone else has that domain now.

Mayjong1 - he charges $40 for 2. He meets us Inside at baggage claim and whisks us into a car. He's actually never driven us - I think he gets busy maybe and subs out to other drivers? It's just great to have it all prearranged and not be scrunched in with a bunch of other folks.

How about some factual info, what a concept <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Kevin picked Belinda and I up from the airport yesterday along with our 3 bags and only asked for $20 TOTAL! No one in his van but us. We're using him now and forever! Besides he's a great guy.

We have ridden with Kevin many times..I dont book him because I dont want to tie him up with just two of us..but he always greets us like old friends and charges $10 per head..no bag charge..very fair and great to see that smiling face. We have used him for newbie guests arriving and they have all raved about his service..

Kevin had absolutely no problem with picking just the two of us up as I had texted him weeks prior. His total time with us was less than 20 minutes so he has no concerns. Please DO "book him" as he is a great guy and has ample resources to take care of all travelers no matter the size of the party.
