How much does a taxi cost in Hanoi?

Taxi in Hanoi is an inexpensive way to get around. The cost of a trip by meter with official companies starts from 12,000 dong (about $0.5) for boarding and the first 600 meters of the journey, and each subsequent kilometer — from 8,000 dong. In general, a trip within the Old City will cost no more than 30,000 dong (approximately $1.2), and to Noi Bai Airport — no more than 300,000 dong (about $12).

There are also more budget options, for example, Kia mini-taxis, where the first kilometer costs 8,000 dong, but they have a small trunk and may not have air conditioning.

It is important to remember that drivers caught on the street often refuse to turn on the meter and offer an inflated fixed price. It is better to refuse and look for another car or use mobile apps for ordering, where the price is known in advance.

For long-distance trips (for example, to the airport), it is sometimes more advantageous to agree on a fixed price at the hotel reception to avoid rigged meters. The approximate real cost of such a trip is 250,000 dong.
