Common Scams to Avoid

Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Drivers approach passengers inside the terminal claiming to be official taxis, often charging inflated fixed rates. Avoid by only using metered taxis from official taxi stands outside the terminal, or book through ride-hailing apps like Grab.

Meter Tampering: Some taxi drivers use rigged meters that run faster than normal or claim the meter is broken and quote excessive fixed prices. Avoid by insisting on the meter, checking it starts at the base fare, and using reputable companies like Mai Linh or Vinasun, or use ride-hailing apps for transparent pricing.

Fake Booking Agents: Individuals inside or near the airport offer to arrange transportation at 'special prices' but either overcharge or hand you off to unlicensed drivers. Avoid by booking transportation through official airport counters, hotel arrangements, or verified booking platforms and apps rather than accepting unsolicited offers.
