What it is and who it suits

One operator lists a long taxi trip to the north or south of Phu Quoc at about USD 20-40 per trip, a guide range checked on 5 November 2026. Figures differ by operator, car size and date. This page suits travellers crossing the island with luggage, heading to a far beach or a port, or comparing a one-way taxi with a day hire.

What is included

A long ride is usually priced as one trip for the car. Other terms belong to each operator, so ask:

  • Is the price metered or fixed?
  • Is waiting time included, and for how long?
  • Is a return trip priced as a second ride?
  • Are tolls, parking or luggage fees added?
  • Is the price for the whole car or per person?

Price range

ItemGuide range, checked 5 November 2026
Taxi to the north or south of the island, per tripUSD 20-40
Metered taxi opening fareVND 10,000
Metered taxi, per km, up to the 30th kmVND 13,000-15,100
Metered taxi, per km, from the 31st kmVND 11,000-12,000

The headline range of USD 20-40 comes from one operator, so treat it as a guide only. A ride-hailing car is listed at VND 13,000 per km and an electric taxi at VND 14,000 per km, which are the same kind of figures for comparison. Distance, traffic, waiting time, the time of day and whether you want a return trip move the price. For a full discussion of per-km rates, read taxi fare per km.

How to book and what to check

  1. Message us on WhatsApp with your date, pickup point, destination, number of passengers and luggage.
  2. We arrange it with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.
  3. Ask whether the taxi uses a meter or whether a price will be agreed before the ride starts.

Confirm the pickup point, seat count and luggage space, child seat availability, night surcharge, waiting time, return terms and the payment method with cash change. For a full day of stops, see private driver for a full day. For the south coast, see Duong Dong to An Thoi by taxi.

Safety and conditions

On long rides to quiet areas, a return car may be hard to find. Agree the way back before you go. A pre-booked ride helps when you travel late, and you can ask for the driver’s details in the chat before the pickup. Carry water, keep your phone charged and agree comfort stops on a long ride, since the driver may not know your plans.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from one end of Phu Quoc to the other?
One operator lists a taxi trip to the north or south of the island at about USD 20-40 per trip, a guide range checked on 5 November 2026. It is not the whole market, and figures differ by operator, car size and date. Message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.
How far and how long is a long ride?
The listings checked give no distance or driving time for north to south, so we do not state one. Time depends on the exact start and end points, traffic and stops on the way. Ask on WhatsApp for an estimate on your route, and allow extra time if you have a flight or boat to catch.
Should I take the meter or a fixed price on a long ride?
Ask whether the taxi uses a meter or agree on a price before starting the ride. On long distances a fixed total removes surprises. Metered rates can drop on a very long trip, as one local taxi company lists VND 11,000-12,000 per km from the 31st km, but traffic and waiting still change the final bill.
How are return trips and waiting charged?
The listings show no standard rate for waiting or return trips, so every driver quotes differently. If you want the car to wait or bring you back, say so before you book, ask for the extra charge in writing in the chat, and confirm how long the driver will wait at your stop.
How do I book a long ride in advance?
Message us on WhatsApp with your date, pickup point, destination, number of passengers and luggage. We arrange it with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay. Cars with drivers can also be booked through hotels or travel agencies if you prefer.
Is a private driver better than a taxi for a long day?
If you plan several stops, a car with driver for the day can work out better than one-way taxis, and one source says it is worth it for groups of four or more. Compare a one-way fixed price with a day rate for your plan before you decide.
