Night Taxi on Phu Quoc: Fares and Availability

Editorial team · Checked 5 November 2026

Taxi fare meter on the dashboard

In short

Listings put metered taxis at about VND 13,000-15,000 per km (guide range checked on 5 November 2026), with no separate night rate shown. After 10 PM an app can be hard to get, so pre-arrange your ride.

What it is and who it suits

Listings checked on 5 November 2026 show metered taxis at about VND 13,000-15,000 per km, with no separate night rate shown. Figures differ by operator, so ask about a night surcharge before you ride. This page suits travellers heading back from dinner, the night market or a late flight who want to know if cars are available.

Main roads in Phu Quoc are described as quite safe at night, even for female groups, but supply thins out in quiet areas.

What is included

A metered fare is distance-based. Other terms belong to each operator, so ask:

  • Is a night surcharge added, and from what hour?
  • Is waiting time charged, and at what rate?
  • Is the price fixed, or will the meter run?
  • Can I pay in cash and get change at night?
  • Is a child seat available?

Price range

The headline VND 13,000-15,000 per km is listed by one local taxi company, so it is a guide, not the whole market. One listing shows VND 10,000 per km for rides to beaches, which is the outlier. The listings show no separate night rate. Distance, waiting time and the hour you travel can all change the final price.

How to book and what to check

  1. Message us on WhatsApp with your pickup place, the time and the number of passengers.
  2. We arrange it with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.
  3. Share the driver and plate details back with a friend.

Safety and conditions

Ride-hailing apps are hard to find on the north coast, at remote beaches and in late evenings outside Duong Dong, and after 10 PM they can be hard to get even in town. A taxi stand is reported to be staffed all night. Use a reputable company, confirm the meter, and check the driver using verify your ride driver. Do not accept rides from unmarked cars. Keep your phone charged, share your trip details with someone you trust, and sit where you can see the meter.

Frequently asked questions

Are taxi fares higher at night on Phu Quoc?
The listings checked on 5 November 2026 show about VND 13,000-15,000 per km and no separate night rate. That does not prove there is no surcharge, because operators set their own terms. Ask before you ride, or agree a fixed total in advance. Message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the price in the chat.
Which areas have taxis after midnight?
A traditional taxi stand is reported to be staffed around the clock, and some local taxi companies say they operate 24 hours a day, including airport transfers and door-to-door service. Cars are easiest to find in Duong Dong. Outside it, especially on the north coast and at remote beaches, expect fewer cars.
Is a ride-hailing app a good option late at night?
Less so. After 10 PM an app can be hard to get, and it is hard to find on the north coast, at remote beaches and in late evenings outside Duong Dong. Taxis are more widely available than apps outside central areas, so use the taxi stand or a pre-arranged ride when the app shows no cars.
How do I pre-arrange a night ride?
Message us on WhatsApp with your pickup place, the time you want to leave, the number of passengers and luggage. We arrange it with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay. Ask whether the car waits for you if you plan to stay late.
Is it safe to take a taxi at night?
Local sources describe main roads as quite safe at night, even for female groups. A taxi is convenient and safer when you use a reputable company and confirm the meter is on, or agree the fare beforehand. Check the car details with the booking before you get in.
What if no car shows up?
Move to a lit, busy street or the hotel entrance and try the app again. If nothing appears, ask your hotel to call a taxi, or go to a taxi stand, which is reported to be staffed all night. You can also message us on WhatsApp and ask whether a car can be arranged through local partners.
