Fake Taxi Meters: Some unofficial taxis at Noi Bai Airport use rigged meters that run fast or quote inflated flat rates. Avoid by using official taxi stands with reputable companies (Mai Linh, Taxi Group), insist the meter is used, or book through the airport's official taxi counter. Better yet, use ride-hailing apps or pre-book airport transfers through verified services.

Overpriced 'Official' Transport Touts: Individuals inside the terminal claiming to offer 'official' airport transport or 'special tourist buses' at premium prices. Avoid by ignoring anyone approaching you inside the terminal, heading directly to official transport counters or designated pickup areas, and booking transportation through your hotel or verified booking platforms before arrival.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport money changers or helpful 'locals' offering poor exchange rates or using sleight of hand to shortchange travelers. Avoid by using official ATMs inside the terminal for better rates, exchanging only small amounts at official airport exchange counters if needed, or waiting to exchange in the city. Always count your money carefully before leaving the counter.
