Taxi in Vietnam | Top 3 Most Reliable Taxi Brands in Vietnam

In recent years, the taxi in Vietnam has become more and more popular means of transportation because of its convenience and safety. However, it is more common in urban areas due to having a higher price than other transportation methods such as “xe om” (a typical means of transportation in Vietnam including a driver who takes you to anywhere you want on a bike) or other private transportation.

Types of Taxi in Vietnam

Basically, taxi services in Vietnam have 2 types which are an official and unofficial taxi. Taxi corporations are considered as official taxis because they have a reputation and offer high quality at a good price for customers. As for unofficial ones, they belong to small and private taxi companies who have poor-quality services and offer unreliable price. These taxis also can not ensure safety for customers because the drivers usually drive cars very fast and carelessly. There are several big and well-known taxi brands in Vietnam that are highly recommended for international tourists.

    Hello! We are in 4 adults and on 19th April we will need to reach Ninh Binh from Sapa. How much does it cost? And how much does it take? Thank you for your attention. Lara

    Hi Lara,

    The distance from Sapa to Ninh Binh is about 420km so if you travel by taxi it will cost very much (Up to millions VND)
    Even you hardly find any taxi serving this route.
    Therefore, bus or private coach are recommended.

    Regards,
