The country is still on the way to organizing an ideal holiday for tourists, but today it can provide both a beach stay, and acquaintance with natural, cultural monuments, and treatment. Taxi in Vietnam, unlike many countries, is represented not only by cars, but also by motorcycles and exotic rickshaws, as well as boats and boats.
How to pay?
The question is solved simply if the tourist used the services of a car. Each of them has meters that take into account the mileage and show the price. Many of the taxi drivers know and are fluent in English. The latest hit - taxi drivers start to speak Russian, however, it is rather difficult to understand them.
If you want something exotic, then you can turn to the services of a motorcycle or cycle rickshaw. It is clear that there are no meters on these vehicles, payment is always by agreement. The fare is naturally lower than in a car, but there is much more excitement and admiration.
Tour operators do not recommend using rickshaw services in the evening and at night, since there are no guarantees of safety, few drivers comply with the established traffic rules. At this time of day, a Vietnamese taxi becomes the ideal transport.
How much to pay?
It is worth negotiating with rickshaws in advance, the calculation is usually based on the travel time; every 15 minutes on the road, they cost about 16,000 VND in local currency.
In a taxi, payment by the meter and from 15,000 VND will have to be paid only for boarding a taxi, and then for each kilometer from 5,000 to 10,000 VND. The cost of mileage is most often indicated on the car door.
Every major Vietnamese city has several passenger transportation companies. Each of the companies, taking care of advertising, places rather large plates with the name, cost and phone numbers on their cars, which is very convenient for tourists.
Among the largest transport companies in Vietnam are:
- Asia Taxi, providing both small cars and sedans, the boarding fee is 10,000 VND;
- Vina Sun, taxi landing price - 11.000 VND;
- A cheap taxi, the name is spelled in Russian, which undoubtedly makes it attractive in the eyes of a Russian-speaking tourist.
Taxis in Vietnam can be called 38-38-38-38.
The amount includes landing, payment by the meter, and the first 30 kilometers are much more expensive. Therefore, the longer the travel route, the cheaper a kilometer will ultimately cost.
