Plan a private trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau with a vehicle and driver arranged for your group. A day visit, a two-day break or a longer coastal stay calls for different driving hours, stops and luggage space. This guide sets out the options described in the Vietnamese source article.
Editorial draft: fares below are source reference figures in Vietnamese dong (VND), not a confirmed current offer. They are not converted to USD and do not establish an English-language booking tariff. Vehicle availability, inclusions and service claims require operator review before publication.
Why arrange a private vehicle?
A private vehicle lets your group request pickup at home, a hotel or another agreed address and plan stops around its own needs. Discuss rest breaks, parking and the return time before confirming. Flexibility does not mean unlimited driving, waiting or distance.
The source promotes maintained vehicles, experienced drivers, transparent package prices and round-the-clock assistance. Ask for the actual vehicle details, service hours and a written breakdown of charges. These statements have not been independently verified as current operating commitments.
Choose the length of your visit
One day
An early departure can leave time for a beach visit, a city viewpoint and a meal before returning to Ho Chi Minh City. Back Beach, Front Beach, the lighthouse and the Christ the King statue are options to discuss. Select a manageable number of stops rather than assuming every attraction fits into one day.
Two days and one night
An overnight stay gives families and friends more time to rest, enjoy dinner or take a seaside walk. Ask whether the vehicle stays with you, which local journeys are included and when the driver is available. Squid-fishing trips mentioned in the source need separate arrangements and suitable conditions.
Three days and two nights
A longer stay can combine Vung Tau sightseeing with a separately agreed excursion towards Ho Tram or Ho Coc. Doi Con Heo, coastal viewpoints and local food such as banh khot and stingray hotpot are other possibilities. Extra destinations change the distance and may affect the quote.
Vehicle choices
- 4-seat category: the source names Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent and Kia Cerato as sedan examples for individuals, couples or small groups.
- 7-seat category: examples include Toyota Fortuner, Kia Sedona and Hyundai Santa Fe for families or friends travelling together.
- 16-seat category: Ford Transit and Hyundai Solati are examples listed for larger groups, company trips or events.
Model names illustrate source categories, not verified available fleet. Confirm the registered seating capacity, whether the driver is included in the seat label, passenger numbers, child-seat needs and usable luggage space. Do not infer permission to carry seven passengers plus a driver from the phrase “7-seat vehicle”.
Route and journey time
The source estimates about 100 km and 2–2.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City, depending on the start and end addresses. It discusses the Ho Chi Minh City–Long Thanh–Dau Giay expressway with National Highway 51, and travel through Long Thanh or Phu My. These figures are planning references, not verified door-to-door distances or arrival guarantees.
Departure around 06:00–07:00 is a suggestion from the source. Ask the driver to choose a suitable route using current conditions; neither an early start nor the expressway guarantees less congestion.
Source reference fares in VND
| Trip length | 4-seat category (VND) | 7-seat category (VND) | 16-seat category (VND) |
|---|---|---|---|
| One day | 1,600,000 | 1,800,000 | 2,500,000 |

Dates, weekends, public holidays and the agreed itinerary can change the price. Confirm fuel, tolls, expressway fees, parking, VAT, waiting, extra kilometres and the driver's meals and accommodation. Repeat-customer promotions mentioned in the source require confirmation; no discount is promised here.
Sightseeing notes
Back Beach is also known as Bai Sau or Thuy Van Beach. Front Beach is Bai Truoc. Mui Nghinh Phong, the Christ the King statue and Ho May Park are further options, subject to access and opening conditions.
Vung Tau lighthouse stands on Nui Nho (Small Mountain), as described by the Vung Tau destination guide. The source article's reference to Nui Lon for the lighthouse needs correction. Plan climbing and walking around the group's mobility rather than relying on an unverified step count.
Booking and common questions
How much does the trip cost? Use the table for the selected duration and category. The source FAQ gives a narrower range than its own table; the table includes a three-day group-vehicle figure of VND 5,000,000. Ask for a dated quote.
Is a driver included? This article concerns a vehicle with driver. Confirm the working hours, breaks, overnight arrangements and what happens if the itinerary changes.
Can airport pickup be arranged? The source mentions Tan Son Nhat Airport. Supply flight details, passenger numbers and luggage requirements, then confirm meeting arrangements and any waiting or airport charges.
How far ahead should I enquire? The source suggests at least 24 hours, but this is not an availability or price guarantee, particularly on holidays.
Call 0565.669.339 or 0931.472.972, read the online booking guide, or use the English contact page. State the pickup address, dates, destination, stops, return plan and luggage. A submitted request still needs service confirmation. The source also lists info@privatetaxi.com.vn and Private Taxi Ho Tram social channels; check current contact details before use.
