Grab Car Phu Quoc taxi cong nghe phu quoc

Before 2020 there was not Grab car in Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam as Grab had not government approval to operate in Phu Quoc by the time of 2020. Arrived into Phu Quoc at the time the only choice was taxi or private car rental (booking with receptionists and companies) and for travelers it was difficult to estimate and check the prices as well as the driving distance at that time. Travelers especially foreigners had no way to get in touch with local drivers to plan their trip, sometime it was more difficult to catch a taxi in Phu Quoc especially in peak season like Noel and Lunar New Year holiday.

But nowadays you can easily take a Grab car in Phu Quoc as it has been released officially since 2021, easy for tourists to estimate the price for one-way trips in Phu Quoc

 

1. An alternative service to taxi?

Not all but Grab cars come in handy quite a lot, like from Phu Quoc airport to your hotels, or return to your hotel from the most-visited places such as: the Night market, Cable car station, Vinpearl area, Dinh Cau temple or any place in Duong Dong in general….The further from the center the more difficult to book a Grab car if you just book one-way car ride.

 

2. When you should book a private car?

As aforementioned: “The further from the center the more difficult to book a Grab car if you just book one-way car ride in Phu Quoc Island”. Grab is convenient but it is not always easy to find a nearby available Grab car as Phu Quoc is not as busy as other cities. Most of cars used for car charter to transfer guest for whole-day or half-day tours…thereby it cause a temporary shortage of available car to book via Grab, especially at afar places like beaches in North Phu Quoc: Rach Vem, Half-moon Beach (Vung Bau), Dragon Beach (Ham Rong), National Park, Ganh Dau…

And also for those who would like to take a tours around Phu Quoc to visit on-land sites: Phu Quoc Prision, Fish sauce Factory, Pearl Farm, Pepper Farm in order…. So it is still much better to charter a car for a specific or tailor-made itinerary for whole day or half of day. As you could negotiate the price as well as arranging the schedule in advance.

3. For the Phu Quoc Airport transfer to your hotel/ resort?

For now, it’s really convenient to book a grab at the airport due to the parking fee. Normally taxi companies have to pay a fee to book airport slots so they get priority parking lot and it also means that once you land in the airport, booking grab car in Phu Quoc need you more waiting time.
