Private transfer from Tan Son Nhat Airport to Vung Tau
Travelling from Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau is a common choice for beach holidays and business trips. A private car with driver lets your group arrange a pick-up location, departure time and destination together, rather than following a shared coach timetable.
This draft translates the Vietnamese source's airport-transfer guide. Its prices are historical reference amounts in Vietnamese dong (VND), not a current quote or a USD tariff. Vehicle availability, included fees, airport meeting arrangements and cancellation terms must be confirmed for your trip.
Why consider a private airport transfer?
- A quote for your journey: the source advertises a 4-seat vehicle from VND 890,000. Ask for a written quote covering your exact destination and all applicable charges.
- Vehicle options: the source describes 4-, 7- and 16-seat categories, regular maintenance, air conditioning, reclining seats and Wi-Fi. Confirm the actual vehicle and amenities; they are not guaranteed by the category name.
- Driver assistance: discuss luggage assistance, contact details and the meeting point before you arrive.
- Booking channels: the source lists the website, hotline and Zalo, and advertises 24-hour service including holidays. Late-night or holiday availability needs confirmation.
The source recommends requesting a car at least 1–2 days ahead, especially during busy periods. Sending a booking request does not itself confirm a vehicle or driver.
Reference vehicle fares from the source
All amounts below are VND per vehicle as listed in the source. The source says its basic costs are included, but also says exact prices can vary with timing and demand. Confirm the direction of travel, tolls, airport charges, waiting, VAT and any extra stops before accepting a quote.
| Vehicle category | Source reference fare (VND) | Source's suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| 4-seat vehicle | 890,000 | 1–3 passengers with limited luggage |
| 7-seat vehicle | 1,050,000 | A family or group of 4–6 |
| 16-seat vehicle | 1,950,000 | A larger group |
Passenger numbers are planning suggestions from the source. Tell the operator your exact group size, children and luggage; confirm usable seats and luggage space in the assigned vehicle.
Route and journey time
The source estimates roughly 95–120 km from the airport to a destination in Vung Tau, with around 2–2.5 hours on the road. It also describes the city as about 100 km from Ho Chi Minh City. These are broad estimates, not a promise about the distance or arrival time for an individual address.
Routes discussed include the Ho Chi Minh City–Long Thanh–Dau Giay Expressway followed by National Highway 51, and routes using Highway 51 through areas such as Long Thanh and Phu My. The source identifies 07:00–09:00 and 17:00–19:00 as busy periods. Ask the driver to plan against current traffic, road conditions and your destination instead of assuming the expressway will always be the fastest option.
How to request your transfer
- Call 0931.472.972 or 0565.669.339, use Zalo at 0565.669.339, or open the English booking form.
- Provide your flight number, arrival date and time, airport pick-up details, destination address, passenger and luggage counts, and preferred vehicle category.
- Ask the operator to confirm vehicle availability, the full fare, meeting instructions and the applicable cancellation terms. Confirm when you will receive the driver's phone number and vehicle registration.
The source presents this as a three-step process and says the driver will meet the confirmed booking. Allow time for an operator to review your request. See the online booking guide for the current website workflow.
Service standards described in the source
The Vietnamese article promotes clear pricing, clean and maintained vehicles, professional drivers and round-the-clock assistance. It also uses claims about no hidden charges, no peak-time increases and holiday coverage. Those claims must be reconciled with its separate statement that reference fares may change. Ask which charges and service arrangements are included in your specific booking.
