How much does a taxi from Ho Chi Minh City airport to the center cost?

A taxi ride from Tan Son Nhat Airport to the center of Ho Chi Minh City or the tourist area (Pham Ngu Lao district) will cost from 100,000 to 200,000 dong (approximately 300-600 rubles). Travel time is 20-40 minutes depending on traffic.

How to order a taxi and not overpay:

1. Through apps (the most cost-effective and reliable way): Use Grab or Maxim (a local analogue). The price in the app is fixed, you won't be cheated. To order, you can use the airport's free Wi-Fi or buy a local SIM card with internet on the spot.
2. At official counters inside the terminal: After exiting the baggage claim area, you will see taxi company counters (Mai Linh, Vinasun, etc.). They quote a fixed price or turn on the meter.
3. Directly on the street: Be careful! Drivers who approach tourists often inflate prices by 2-3 times, quoting amounts of 400,000-500,000 dong. Bargain and aim for a price of 150,000 dong, or simply refuse and order through an app.
