Unofficial Taxi Scams: Unlicensed drivers at Noi Bai Airport may approach you offering taxi services at inflated rates or refuse to use the meter. Avoid by using only official taxi stands inside the terminal, looking for reputable companies with meters, or pre-booking through your hotel or the airport's official taxi service.

Fake Meter Taxis: Some taxis use rigged meters that run faster than normal, turning a standard 30-40 minute trip into an expensive journey. Avoid by using ride-hailing apps, noting the approximate fare beforehand, or insisting the driver reset the meter at the start of your journey. Official airport taxis should display clear company identification.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unofficial money changers at or near the airport may offer attractive rates but use sleight of hand, miscounting, or providing counterfeit notes. Avoid by using official ATMs inside the terminal for the best rates, or exchange only at licensed currency exchange counters within the airport - never with individuals approaching you in arrival areas.
