Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat Destination Reviews

Very good trip

It was not a pleasant trip. The driver was on time and the car was nice, but that’s about all I can say. On 12Gasia it was advertised that the ride would be the fastest option and would only take 4 hours and 45 minutes. Unfortunately, this was not true. During the first part of the trip, the driver had entered a different address into the navigation system, which showed a duration of 4 hours and 45 minutes. Once we reached that destination, the driver changed the address to our actual location, which added another two hours. So you are basically misled about the travel time. In addition to that, the driver’s driving was extremely poor. He was constantly swerving and braking abruptly the entire way, which made me feel very nauseous. He also stopped several times without being able to tell us why we were stopping. We had to guess that we were allowed to take a short break. Only the first time did he briefly mention that there was a restroom. To top it all off, the driver dropped us off at the designated location, took a photo, and drove away without looking at us or even saying a word. This didn’t give us any time to check whether we had all our belongings.

It was fantastic. I cannot praise Mr Truc our driver enough. He was courteous and kind and we felt we were in very safe hands. His driving was excellent and myself as a nervous passenger highly appreciated this. The vehicle was comfortable and Mr Truc made sure all our needs were met. He was punctual and we arrived relaxed and happy. Keep up this good work 12go! This is why we always choose you, your employees are a good example of excellent service.

We started our trip in Ho Chi Minh with the plan of working north from there, every single step of the way Ouros Travel were there ready and waiting with any inquiry we had, we booked several trips through these guys and honestly can’t fault them in anyway, great communication, great drivers and vehicles, all extremely polite and friendly, exactly what any traveller would want to deal with! Not to mention very fair prices even on a 10 hour drive from Nah Trang to Da Nang! Have honestly never received better service anywhere in the world, I for one will only use Ouros whenever I’m in Vietnam! Thank you so much!

Travelling by taxi essentials

  • To ensure you are picked up when required, book your taxi transfer in advance. It is vital to plan your journeys early if you are going to travel during the busiest periods – high season or just rush hours. Sometimes it will be impossible to book a long ride with the immediate departure – in the best-case scenario you will have to wait for hours, in the worth one – to postpone or cancel your trip.
  • Make sure you have clearly agreed on pick up and drop off locations prior to the trip. If getting to your location requires special instructions – e.g., road closures, non-resident cars are banned from entering your compound, etc. – let the driver know it in advance.
  • If you need to make a detour or are planning any stops during your taxi ride, want to check any tourist attractions or pick up additional passengers in locations other than your pick up point, inform your taxi company beforehand. Extra fees may be charged – or may not, depending on your route, the car type, and the company’s policy. Anyway, it is always better to confirm everything before your trip. If you fail to do so, your driver may not be able to meet your request enroute due to his further schedule – he may be assigned for another trip.
  • Not all the taxi drivers in any country are able to speak English. If you require an English-speaking driver, inform your taxi company about it in advance and get their confirmation. If your trip does not require any additional stops or deviations from the route, you can most probably survive it even with a non-English-speaking driver, can’t you?
  • If you have any other special requirements, e.g. a car seat for your kid or baby, a female driver, no car perfume, etc. require in advance. Additional fees may apply. Do not hesitate to ask your driver to switch off the music or stop talking if you do not feel like chatting – it is totally ok, just do it politely.
  • The majority of cars on offer are non-smoking, yet your driver can be a smoker and smoke outside the car, e.g. during the stops. If it is of importance to you, do not forget to mention ‘a non-smoking driver’ in comments or special requirements section.
  • It is usually prohibited to drink alcohol while in taxi – yes, even if you are just a passenger. The same refers to smelly foods or foods in general. In some Asian countries you will not be allowed to have durians in your luggage, either.
  • It is compulsory to use seat belts for all the passengers in a car no matter whether you occupy a front seat or rear seats. Locate your safety belt and fasten it even if your driver does not insist on it.
  • As a rule, there is a short waiting period included into your taxi rate quoted, especially if you travel from/to the airport or train station. Often it does not exceed 15 or 30 minutes. If longer waiting time is required, you will be charged extra after the trip. Check the rates your company offers before the trip.
