Night Taxi on Phu Quoc: Fares and Availability
Editorial team · Checked 5 November 2026

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
| Item | Guide range, checked 5 November 2026 |
|---|---|
| Metered taxi, per km (headline) | VND 13,000-15,000 |
| Ride-hailing car, per km | VND 13,000 |
| Electric taxi, per km | VND 14,000 |
| Metered taxi to Duong Dong town, per trip (start point varies) | USD 7 to 10 (VND 180,000-250,000) |
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.

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.
