Don't Fall for this Scam at Vietnam Airports or you might pay anywhere from $15 to $40. $10 is the actual price to get from the airport to downtown in a taxi it is becoming very common for them to have fake meter rates. The green Taxi company is better than the others and typically will charge normal rates. If you want to take a an Uber AKA (grab or gojek) you just have to walk out of the airport zoning area. Other common taxi scams when you are in Vietnam when you are entering for the first time. When the taxi driver wants to know if it's your first time to Vietnam make sure you tell them you have been here before. When you give the money to the taxi cab make sure you double check and take a picture of the bill you give them because they will try to hand you back a 10k bill that is broken after you gave them a perfectly good 100k bill. It happens a lot to tourists that are new in Vietnam.
