Just give her a call at the number given or email her at [email protected] She can pick the guest up at the departure section. her taxi is green. If she is fully book or you need bigger car, she can recomend her friend as well.
500 baht is 1.3-2.0x the actual cost by taxi into town (Bangkok is large) and you don't say if this includes the tollway or not (my inclination is it does).

I'm at a loss to understand why people would purposely book a taxi at increased cost.
