What official taxis are there in Hanoi?

In Hanoi, several official and verified taxi companies operate, which use meters and have fixed rates. Their cars can be recognized by their branded colors and logos, and prices should be indicated on a sticker on the window.

Main taxi companies in Hanoi:

• Mailinh (Mai Linh): The largest nationwide company, considered one of the most reliable and affordable in price. The fleet mainly consists of sedans.
• Hanoi Group Taxi: Another well-known and verified company in the city. Rates may be slightly higher than Mailinh.
• G7 Taxi: Also belongs to the more expensive segment but enjoys a good reputation.
• Kia Mini Taxi: These are small budget cars (e.g., Kia Morning). The cost of the first kilometer here is only 8,000 dong, but be prepared for a cramped interior, small trunk, and possible lack of air conditioning.

How to distinguish an official taxi: There should be stickers with rates on the body or window of the car. If they are not present — you are likely dealing with an illegal one, and it is better to refuse such a ride.

Tip: Even with official taxi drivers that you hail on the street, problems may arise — they may refuse to turn on the meter. Our main recommendation is to use mobile apps for ordering, such as Grab, where the ride price is fixed and known in advance, and the driver undergoes verification.
