⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official taxi queue or app pickup zones; ignore taxi touts inside Arrivals, who often quote inflated fixed fares.
  • Never accept a taxi or ride without a meter or app upfront price; confirm the total before getting in, including any airport entry/parking fee.
  • Pay in VND cash with small notes and check the driver's badge and vehicle number match the company; if paying by card, confirm before departure.
  • Bus 109 no longer stops at T2; international arrivals must take the free inter-terminal shuttle to T3, not touts offering 'bus tickets'.
