Transport from Airport to Old Quarter

Noi Bai int%26#39;l Airport: 40-50min. by car. Caution: Choose your transportation before you leave the terminal because you will be surrounded by drivers outside. Negotiate the price (prices ranged from $14 to $32.), make sure it includes the highway charge.

Hanoi Airport things are OK because there are 3 dedicated taxi ranks with fixed prices. Take one of the 3 official airport taxis at the organised rank outside the airport, %26amp; you%26#39;ll be OK. Hanoi airport is a lot better for taxis than the disgraceful mess at HCMC!

Only use a reputable taxi firm: Mai Linh or Vinataxi, also Hanoi taxi (Hanoitour taxi is also a branch of them) or Phu Dong taxi. Noi Bai taxi (tel 8868888):

15-seat mini bus of Vietnam Airlines: US$3 from the airport to Vietnam Airlines Head Office at No. 1 Quang Trung St. From there you can walk to the Old Quarter.

Public bus (no luggage %26amp; before 21:00 only): first you get bus No. 7 (yellow %26amp; red color) VND 5,000 from Noi Bai airport to Cau Giay, then change into bus No. 9 (VND 3,000) from Cau Giay to Bo Ho (Hoan Kiem lake in Hanoi center). From there you can walk to the Old Quarter. The total costs for both bus trips would be VND 8,000.

hi tanhauser

do you know how much does it cost if we choose to take one of the reputable taxi from Hanoi airport.

just want to compare if it%26#39;s going to be about the same with what our hotel charges us for airport pick up (US$20)

thanks

Earlier this month my Wife and I were picked up from Ha Noi airport by a car supplied by The Golden Sun Hotel in the Old Quarter and we were charged USD15 there-fore I would suspect that a taxi should cost you no more than that. Hope this helps.

Can we use the Vietnam Airlines%26#39; mini bus if we are not their passenger? My hotel is offering the pick up with USD 15, is that reasonable?

$15 - $20

Come on, the airport is quite far from the city.

Hotels seem to be offering free pickup if you stay two nights or more - might want to check that out. If not, VN Airline shuttle is the cheapest and best and no, you don%26#39;t have to be their passenger.

the price is USD12 per trip.
