Private Van vs Tuk-Tuk
A tuk-tuk suits solo travellers and short hops around General Luna with light bags. A private van is better when you travel as a group, carry surfboards or multiple suitcases, need air-conditioned comfort, or plan a longer journey across the island.
Van hire shows your fare before you confirm and supports secure online payment. Tuk-tuk rides on TravelGO are paid in cash directly to the independent driver.
Van Hire vs Airport Transfer
General van hire is for point-to-point trips and hourly packages anywhere you set on the map. The dedicated Siargao Airport Transfer service is built for Sayak Airport arrivals and departures — with shared joiners or private van options, passenger counts and flight scheduling where required.
Online Booking and Payments
Your fare is calculated from your route and trip type and shown before you confirm. Pay securely at checkout with international cards or PayPal where offered. Cash may appear as a payment option when supported in the booking flow.
Manage your booking in TravelGO, follow driver assignment updates, use live tracking when available, and contact customer support if you need help before or during your trip.
