Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service from Long Thanh Airport
Long Thanh International Airport (LTH) is the new major international airport serving the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan region and southern Vietnam. Located in Dong Nai, east of central Ho Chi Minh City, the airport is being developed as a major aviation hub and will complement the existing Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN).
Unlike Tan Son Nhat, which lies within the urban area of Ho Chi Minh City, Long Thanh is located considerably farther from the city centre. This makes ground transportation an important part of the journey, particularly for international visitors, families, business travellers and passengers carrying substantial luggage.
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked private airport transfers from LTH to Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai and destinations throughout southern Vietnam. Travellers can reserve an appropriate vehicle before arrival and travel directly from the airport to their hotel, residence, office or resort.
Getting from Long Thanh Airport to Ho Chi Minh City
Long Thanh Airport is located approximately 40 kilometres east of central Ho Chi Minh City. Road journeys are expected to use the main expressway and access roads connecting Dong Nai with the metropolitan area.
Actual travel time will depend heavily on traffic conditions and the destination within Ho Chi Minh City. District 1, Thu Duc City, the Saigon River area and other central districts may require significantly different journey times, especially during morning and evening congestion.
Transport options include taxis, private transfers and planned public transport connections. For passengers travelling directly to a hotel or private address, a pre-booked vehicle offers one of the simplest door-to-door solutions.
Private Airport Transfer
A private airport transfer allows passengers to arrange their transportation before the flight. The pickup point, destination, passenger count and required vehicle category can all be specified in advance.
This is particularly useful at Long Thanh because many passengers will be travelling a substantial distance after leaving the terminal. Instead of searching for transport after arrival, travellers can continue directly towards Ho Chi Minh City or another destination in southern Vietnam.
WelcomeTaxi provides different vehicle categories for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. English-speaking drivers can also be requested for easier communication with international passengers.
Taxi and Ride-Hailing
Taxis are expected to form an important part of the airport's ground transport network, while ride-hailing services are widely used throughout the Ho Chi Minh City region.
These services can be suitable for spontaneous journeys, but pre-booking offers greater certainty when passengers need a specific vehicle type, are travelling with several suitcases or want transportation arranged before landing.
For longer journeys from Long Thanh, knowing the transfer arrangements in advance can also make budgeting and trip planning easier.
Public Transport
Public transport connections between Long Thanh Airport and Ho Chi Minh City are being expanded as part of the new airport's transport network. Dedicated airport bus routes are planned to connect LTH with different parts of the metropolitan area.
Rail links are also part of the longer-term regional transport strategy. Until the full public transport network is established, road transportation will remain particularly important for many airport passengers.
Public buses can be an economical choice for travellers with limited luggage and flexible schedules. Passengers continuing to a hotel, resort or address outside a main transport corridor may find a direct private transfer more convenient.
Long Thanh Airport to Central Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City is the main destination for many passengers arriving at LTH. District 1 contains a large concentration of international hotels, restaurants, offices and major visitor attractions, while nearby districts are home to additional business and residential areas.
A direct private transfer avoids the need to change between buses, taxis or other forms of transport while carrying luggage. This is particularly useful after an international flight or when arriving with children or in a larger group.
Because traffic conditions can vary significantly, passengers travelling from Ho Chi Minh City back to Long Thanh Airport should allow sufficient time for the road journey before their flight.
Chauffeur Service in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai
WelcomeTaxi also offers chauffeur service for travellers who need a vehicle for more than an airport transfer. This can be useful for business visitors attending meetings in Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai and surrounding industrial areas.
Instead of booking individual taxis throughout the day, passengers can arrange a vehicle and driver for a defined period. A chauffeur can provide transportation between hotels, offices, factories, conference venues, restaurants and other locations according to the planned itinerary.
English-speaking chauffeurs can be requested for international visitors. Chauffeur service can also be arranged for private sightseeing, shopping or multi-stop travel around the region.
Transfers from Long Thanh Airport to Vung Tau
Long Thanh's location east of Ho Chi Minh City makes the airport particularly relevant for passengers travelling towards Vung Tau and the coast. Vung Tau is an important beach destination as well as a centre for Vietnam's offshore energy industry.
A private transfer from LTH to Vung Tau provides direct transportation from the airport to hotels, resorts, apartments or business locations without the need to travel through central Ho Chi Minh City first.
This route can be especially convenient for corporate passengers, families and visitors arriving with luggage who prefer a direct road journey.
Private Transfers to Ho Tram
Ho Tram is another important coastal destination southeast of the airport, known for beachfront resorts, golf facilities and leisure developments. Travellers arriving at Long Thanh can arrange direct transportation to hotels and resorts in the Ho Tram area.
A pre-booked transfer is particularly practical for resort guests because public transportation may not provide a convenient door-to-door connection to individual properties along the coast.
Long-Distance Transfers from LTH
Long Thanh Airport provides a useful starting point for journeys beyond the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance private transfers to destinations throughout southern Vietnam.
Popular routes may include Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, destinations in the Mekong Delta and other cities or resorts in the region. Travelling directly from the airport can eliminate unnecessary transfers through central Ho Chi Minh City.
Long-distance private transfers are especially convenient for families, business travellers and groups who value door-to-door transportation. Larger vehicles can be arranged when additional passenger or luggage capacity is required.
Transfers to the Mekong Delta
The Mekong Delta includes numerous popular destinations such as My Tho, Ben Tre and Can Tho. Although some journeys involve considerable distances, private transportation offers a straightforward way to travel directly from Long Thanh Airport to a hotel, river port or private address.
A chauffeur service can also be useful for travellers planning a multi-stop itinerary through the delta rather than a simple one-way transfer.
Transfers Between LTH and Tan Son Nhat Airport
Long Thanh International Airport and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) serve the same wider metropolitan region but are located on opposite sides of the Ho Chi Minh City area.
Passengers should always check the IATA code shown on their flight booking carefully. LTH refers to Long Thanh International Airport in Dong Nai, while SGN refers to Tan Son Nhat International Airport within Ho Chi Minh City.
Some itineraries may require passengers to travel between the two airports. A pre-booked airport-to-airport transfer can be useful when making such a connection, particularly with luggage or when travelling as a group. Sufficient connection time should always be allowed because road traffic can significantly affect journey duration.
Why Pre-Book a Long Thanh Airport Transfer?
Long Thanh's distance from central Ho Chi Minh City makes advance transport planning more important than at many urban airports. Travellers arriving after a long flight may prefer to know that their onward transportation has already been arranged.
With a pre-booked private transfer, the destination and vehicle requirements are provided in advance. Passengers can choose a vehicle suitable for their group size and luggage rather than relying on whichever vehicle happens to be available after arrival.
Private transfers are particularly practical for international visitors, families with children, business travellers, late arrivals, passengers travelling to resorts and groups requiring vans or minibuses.
English-Speaking Drivers at Long Thanh Airport
English-speaking drivers can be requested for WelcomeTaxi transfers and chauffeur services from Long Thanh Airport. This can simplify communication for international passengers travelling to hotels, offices or destinations outside Ho Chi Minh City.
An English-speaking chauffeur may be especially useful for business itineraries involving several meetings or for travellers making longer journeys through southern Vietnam.
Useful Travel Information
Long Thanh Airport represents a major change to air travel in southern Vietnam. Passengers should pay particular attention to their airport code when arranging flights, accommodation and transportation, as both LTH and SGN serve the wider Ho Chi Minh City region.
When booking an airport transfer, provide accurate flight information, passenger numbers and luggage requirements. For groups or travellers carrying oversized baggage, choosing a suitable van or larger vehicle in advance can make the journey considerably easier.
Road traffic remains an important factor when travelling around Ho Chi Minh City and neighbouring provinces. Allow additional time when travelling to the airport during busy periods or when connecting between Long Thanh and Tan Son Nhat.
Whether your destination is central Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau, Ho Tram, Mui Ne, the Mekong Delta or another location in southern Vietnam, WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur services designed around your journey.
