Comparing taxi options for Vung Tau
A Vung Tau trip may involve a short city ride, a hotel transfer, coastal sightseeing or travel towards Ho Tram and Ho Chi Minh City. Begin with the exact addresses, departure time, passengers and bags. Compare complete offers for the same journey rather than treating an article's ranking or a per-kilometre headline as the final cost.
The Vietnamese article names Private Taxi Ho Tram, Xanh SM, Mai Linh, Lado and Sun Taxi. Its title says “top four” while its comparison includes five providers, and it supplies no independent ranking method. This English draft lists the source references without declaring one operator the cheapest or best.
Operator references and contact checks
The table retains source fare ranges for editorial comparison. Operator names do not establish a partnership with this website. Contact details and conditions must be checked against each operator's own channels before booking.
Operator named in source | Contact — verify before use | Source reference (VND/km) | Source note |
|---|---|---|---|
Private Taxi Ho Tram | 0565.669.339 | Request a current quote | Source claims recent vehicles and 24/7 service; confirm |
Xanh SM / Green SM | 1555 | 11.000 – 29.500 | Source names VinFast electric vehicles; confirm category |
Taxi Mai Linh | 1055 | Confirm directly with the operator | Source describes a national brand; verify local coverage |
Lado Taxi | 1900 1111 | 11.500 – 18.700 | Source price comparison not independently verified |
Sun Taxi | (0254) 3 627 627 | Confirm directly with the operator | Source describes a conventional taxi service |
Green SM contact correction: the Vietnamese source lists 1900 2088. Green SM's official notice says that number was discontinued from 1 June 2026 and replaced by 1555. The table uses 1555 accordingly. See the official Green SM contact notice. This correction does not verify the older fare range or a particular vehicle's availability.
The Lado website lists 1900 1111 as its booking number. Its public fare display differs from the four-seat figures attributed to Lado in the Vietnamese article. The following table therefore remains a source comparison requiring review, not a current Lado quotation or a Private Taxi tariff.
Source opening-fare and distance-band examples
The source separates an opening amount, a column labelled kilometres 1–25, and a column from kilometre 26. It does not fully explain the initial included distance or resolve possible overlap between the opening amount and first distance band. Do not add these figures into a new pricing formula.
Source vehicle category | Opening amount (VND) | Source km 1–25 label (VND/km) | From km 26 (VND/km) | Source note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
4-seat category | 15.000 | 14.500 | 11.500 | Source attribution: Lado; rates require review |
7-seat category | 15.000 | 18.700 | 13.500 | Source attribution: Lado; rates require review |
4-seat category (source: Xanh SM) | 29.500 | 16.000 | 11.000 | Source electric-vehicle category; opening amount needs review |
Private Taxi Ho Tram | Request a written total and confirm all inclusions | Source offers lack current eligibility and dates | ||
The last row requests a quote from Private Taxi Ho Tram instead of providing numerical rates. Figures in other operators' rows must not be presented as this company's tariff. The source allows weekend, holiday, Tet and operator-policy changes, so a reference amount does not establish the fare for a current trip.
Ask whether the quotation includes tolls, parking, waiting, taxes, additional stops and any change of destination or departure time. Promotions mentioned without dates or eligibility are not automatic benefits. No table here establishes independent USD pricing.
Private Taxi enquiries described in the source
The article describes four-, seven- and 16-seat categories, private cars without shared passengers, recent vehicles, air conditioning and experienced local drivers. Confirm the offered vehicle, usable passenger seats excluding the driver and luggage layout. These descriptions are source claims, not an independently verified fleet or maintenance record.
It advertises Vung Tau and nearby Ho Tram, Ho Coc, Xuyen Moc, Binh Chau, Long Hai, Long Dien, Dat Do and Ba Ria, together with intercity journeys. Give both endpoints and the date so the operator can confirm coverage and a proposed schedule. A place appearing in a service article does not establish vehicle availability there.
The source claims round-the-clock service, confirmation within five minutes and no peak-hour surcharge, while its fare note allows period-based variations. Obtain a clear current quote and pickup arrangement rather than assuming an instant dispatch or fixed holiday price.
Choosing an offer
Compare several current quotations for matching addresses, dates, passengers and bags.
Check the actual vehicle and seats, and request a current image if useful.
Ask for a written total with inclusions and additional-charge conditions.
Confirm the booking channel and operator identity independently of promotional claims.
Check the vehicle registration and driver against the confirmation before departure.
Agree a suitable travel margin for an airport or timed appointment.
The article suggests one to two hours' advance notice. That interval does not guarantee a vehicle or sufficient time for an airport journey. Ask how much notice the actual trip requires and distinguish booking notice from the pickup time needed to reach a flight.
Local sightseeing ideas
Back Beach, Front Beach, the Christ the King statue, Vung Tau lighthouse and Nghinh Phong Cape appear in the source. If several are requested, agree the stop sequence, access, waiting and end time. Current opening hours, admission, weather and access restrictions are not established by this draft.
A driver-assisted route can be discussed, but sightseeing or entrance costs should not be assumed to be included in a simple transfer. An operator's name or an old promotional image does not prove endorsement by an attraction.
Requesting a vehicle
Provide exact pickup and destination addresses and the travel date and time.
List passengers, luggage and any child-restraint, accessibility or other vehicle requirements.
Include return travel, waiting and extra stops in the request.
Review the vehicle proposal, complete price and current payment, change and cancellation terms.
Obtain a confirmation and agreed meeting point; submitting an enquiry alone does not allocate a car.
Frequently asked questions
Which operator is cheapest?
The source provides incomplete and differently structured examples. It cannot establish a universal cheapest provider. Compare current totals and conditions for the same journey.
Can a seven-seat category be requested?
The article mentions four-, seven- and 16-seat categories for Private Taxi Ho Tram. Confirm actual passenger capacity, luggage and availability for the proposed vehicle and date.
Are the reference fares current?
They are retained from the Vietnamese article, with a separately sourced Green SM contact correction. The prices, distance-band rules and service claims still require review before publication or use in a booking.

For an enquiry, call 0565.669.339 or 0931.472.972, use the English contact page, or read how to request a ride online. Ask for written confirmation of the actual trip details, vehicle and total price.
