I need to transport my two cats and all their accessories from Seosan to Changwon. Somebody suggested that I use a call van, like a taxi. How do I do this?

Judging from a Daejeon-based 'call van' company's fare chart which lists Daejeon-Seosan for about 120K Won and Daejeon-Changwon for about 200K Won, I'm guessing a Seosan-based company will quote around 330K~350K Won. One of the companies in Seosan seems to have a contact number 041-665-7007.

Just FYI, assuming both cats will be transported in crate(s), you might as well be able to put them in the undercarriage of intercity buses. For Seosan-Changwon, single transfer at Daejeon Dongbu Bus Terminal should suffice. (or you can just hire a van for your cats' comfort)

Thanks for your help. I was told there was no way cats would be allowed on buses but it couldn't hurt to ask. Do you think they would be okay in the undercarriage?

There is still no way animals will be permitted on passenger seats, but the undercarriage would be okay PROVIDED that they're locked inside crates. I got that off from express bus operators in Seoul, I expect similar practice from regional services as well.

Just in case the driver freaks out at the sight of your cats, point to your cats/crate(s) and say 'jim-kahn' which means the undercarriage. Or you can just box them up with air holes as well as fragile glass signs and 'this side up' arrows drawn all around.
