Taxi fare meter on the dashboard

In short

Operators list metered taxis on Phu Quoc at about VND 13,000-18,000 per km, plus an opening fare of VND 10,000-15,000 (guide range checked on 5 November 2026). Fix a price first if the meter worries you.

What it is and who it suits

A metered taxi on Phu Quoc is typically listed at about VND 13,000-18,000 per km, with an opening fare of VND 10,000-15,000 added at the start. These are guide ranges checked on 5 November 2026, and figures differ by operator. This page suits anyone who wants to estimate a ride before getting in, or who must choose between the meter and a fixed price.

Taxis and ride-hailing cars are plentiful in Duong Dong and around Long Beach. They are limited in remote areas such as Vung Bau late at night, so a ride from there is better arranged in advance.

What is included

On a meter, the fare is the opening fare plus distance. Everything else varies by company and driver, so ask before you ride:

  • Is a night surcharge added?
  • Is waiting time charged, and at what rate?
  • Is the price for the whole car or per person?
  • Can I pay in cash, and does the driver carry change?

The headline range of VND 13,000-18,000 per km spans several listings, and figures differ by operator. One operator lists the top of the range. The listings show no figure for waiting charges, so ask for the rate.

What pushes the fare up: a long wait in traffic, a late-night ride, and busy times such as evenings, weekends or rain, when app prices can rise. What brings it down: a short trip in a town where cars are plentiful, or a motorbike taxi in the app, which costs about half as much as a regular taxi.

How to book and what to check

  1. Message us on WhatsApp with your 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. In a ride-hailing app, choose the transport type, enter the address and confirm the order.

Confirm these before you get in:

  • Meter on, or a fixed price agreed before the ride.
  • The pickup point and the number of passengers.
  • Luggage space and child seat availability.
  • Night surcharge and waiting time.
  • Payment method and cash change.

For a motorbike taxi, the app gives a fixed price. If you use an informal xe om, negotiate the fare upfront.

To compare with apps, read ride-hailing app fares on Phu Quoc. To check a meter, see how the taxi meter works. For town hops, see short taxi rides between areas.

Safety and conditions

Watch the meter start at the opening fare and keep an eye on it during the ride. If a price feels unclear, ask again or step out before the ride begins. Late at night, cars are scarcer outside the main areas, so fix your return ride before you travel.

Message us on WhatsApp for the exact price on your date.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi per km on Phu Quoc?
Listings checked on 5 November 2026 show about VND 13,000-18,000 per km for a metered taxi, and figures differ by operator. An opening fare of VND 10,000-15,000 is added at the start. Treat this as a guide range, then message us on WhatsApp for a confirmed price on your route and date.
Is there a flag-fall or starting charge?
Metered taxis usually charge an opening fare. Listings show VND 10,000-15,000, and one local taxi company lists VND 10,000. It is charged before the per-km rate applies, so on a short trip it is a large share of the bill. Confirm the amount with the driver before you set off.
Does the per-km rate get cheaper on long rides?
For at least one local taxi company, yes. It lists VND 13,600-15,100 per km up to the 30th km and VND 11,000-12,000 from the 31st km. Not every company does this, so on a long ride across the island ask whether a lower rate applies or whether a fixed price is better.
Is a ride-hailing app cheaper than a taxi per km?
The listed rates are close. A ride-hailing car is listed at VND 13,000 per km and an electric taxi at VND 14,000, against about VND 13,000-18,000 for metered taxis. Some local sources say taxis cost roughly double the app, so compare a quote for your exact trip rather than relying on one figure.
How can I estimate a taxi fare before getting in?
Ask the driver or your hotel for the distance, multiply it by the per-km rate in the guide range of VND 13,000-18,000, and add the opening fare of VND 10,000-15,000. Waiting time and night rules can add to the total. Or message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the price in the chat before you pay.
When is a fixed price better than the meter?
A fixed price helps on long rides, trips to remote places and late nights, when a return car is hard to find. Agree the total, the pickup point and what happens if you ask the driver to wait. On short town rides the meter is fine, but check it is switched on at the start.
