Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at seemingly good rates, but often charge inflated prices or take longer routes. Avoid by only using official taxi stands outside the arrivals area, booking through the ride-hailing widgets on our site, or using reputable companies like Mai Linh or Vinasun with meters.

Meter Tampering: Some taxi drivers may use rigged meters that run faster than normal or claim the meter is broken and quote a fixed price. Avoid by insisting the meter is used from the start, checking that it starts at the base fare, and having your destination address ready in Vietnamese. Use ride-hailing apps through our booking widgets for transparent pricing.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport money changers or helpful strangers may offer to exchange currency at poor rates or use sleight of hand to shortchange you. Avoid by using official ATMs inside the terminal for the best rates, or exchange only small amounts at official airport exchange counters. Check current exchange rates before your trip.
