How much does a taxi from Vung Tau to Ho Chi Minh City cost?

A taxi ride from Vung Tau to Ho Chi Minh City will be more expensive than city rides, and the price depends on the booking method. When booking through apps like Grab or Xanh SM, the cost can vary but typically ranges from 500,000 to 1,000,000 dong one way, depending on the time of day and demand.

If hiring a private taxi through a hotel or at the bus station, you can negotiate a fixed price, which is sometimes lower, especially for group travel. Always clarify the terms in advance — whether the meter is included, what additional fees may apply. For greater savings, you can use intercity buses, which are cheaper but take longer.

The trip takes about 2–3 hours, depending on traffic. We recommend booking a taxi in advance through apps to avoid inflated prices and ensure a comfortable journey.
