I'm sure you've heard of many taxi scams that happened to fellow travelers throughout Asia. Ho Chi Minh City, unfortunately, also has a fair share of those complaints. To reduce the risk of experiencing such unpleasant situation, you can try the tips below :

1. Use Mailinh or Vinasun Taxi ONLY.
2. ....and NOT VinaTsun or Mailin or M.Taxi
3. Always make sure the taxi driver turns on the meter before you go.
4. Take fix-priced taxis from the airport to the city. It should cost around 100,000 - 250,000 Dong depending on your destination.

Vinasun has over 6,000 taxis serving the city alone, so you never have to wait very long. Generally reliable and professional. Call 38 27 27 27 if you need to reserve a taxi.

This is so true! Another tip we learned while there: make sure you know the phone number of Vinasun and Mailinh, that way you'll be sure to get the real ones. :)
