Tips for taking a taxi without fear of being “ripped off”:
In fact, Phu Quoc is a famous tourist center, and “ripping off” customers in various types of services is strictly controlled. But preparing yourself for a “hard” mindset when traveling is very necessary. Therefore, please refer to the following tips on Rooty Trip:
Before going:
- Plan your trip: Clearly define departure and arrival points, and estimate travel distance. Refer to the average taxi fare for that route.
- Book a car through the app: Use reputable car booking apps like Grab, Xanh SM,… to see the price before booking.
- Note the reputable taxi phone number: Refer to the list of reputable taxi companies in Phu Quoc such as Mai Linh, Vinasun, Sun Taxi, and Sasco… and save the phone number to call when necessary.
- Bring a map or mapping app: Helps you track your travel route and avoid being driven around by the driver.
When going:
- Emphasize your destination: When getting in the car, clearly state your destination to the driver and ask them to turn on the meter.
- Track the route: Observe the travel route on the map or mapping application to ensure the driver is going in the right direction.
- Ask the price before going far: If you intend to go far or take a less traveled route, ask the price before getting in the car to avoid being charged high prices.
- Don’t be afraid to negotiate: Taxi prices in Phu Quoc are negotiable, especially when traveling far or in large groups.
- Keep the invoice: After payment, keep the invoice for comparison and complaint if necessary.
Besides:
- Avoid taking a taxi late at night or early in the morning: This is the time when prices are most likely to be ripped off.
- Be careful with taxi offers: Avoid taxi offers from strangers, especially at the airport or bus station.
- Trust your intuition: If you feel the driver has the intention to give an unreasonable price, refuse and look for another taxi.
