Sapa to Hanoi Destination Reviews

Our driver was fantastic! He arrived early and helped us with our bags. He was very kind and hospitable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. He got us back to our destination safely and quickly. I would 100% reccomend him again.

Well, on the first leg the driver was continuously fiddling with his phone. Which is. In my world, a serious security risk. When I asked him to stop doing it, he did. Later on, he started to fall asleep. I WhatsApped you about it and asked for another driver. Never got a response from you (Ouros), but apparently you talked to the driver who then complained to me. In the second leg, he drove much better. But your customer service is bad.

Driver was pleasant until he got stressed and then was shouting on the phone to the hotel we couldn’t find. He wanted us(3 older 60 year old woman to get out the car with three 20kg suitcases and walk a couple of blocks In Hanoi, we refused as we had paid for a taxi to our hotel. The GPS told him the road was closed but it was actually open. He was raising his voice over the phone to the reception staff when they tried to explain how to access the front of the hotel. We got to the front door by car eventually and he never said good bye just got back in his car. I feel every one in Vietnam has been so welcoming and polite. This man didn’t seem to know the Vietnamese way as we have used your taxi service a few times and always been very happy.

Great support team, we had to change the destination and time and they were on to it. Kudos to the team. The driver Mr Nghia is an awesome driver, car was clean and tidy and he also provided us with water for every passenger, even paid 10,000 VND to the lady to let us use the toilet. Would definitely recommend.

Driver was terrible. On the phone for nearly the whole trip and came close to hitting other vehicles. He stopped at Lai Chou to pick up dry cleaning and wandered off for 25 minutes!! Did not tell us where he was going! Seat belt in back seat was stuck under seat. Asked to stop to fix. He indicated not to worry about it. I had to force him to pull over so I could access the it. Shit experience and scary.

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.
