Transfers and Taxi from Phu Quoc Airport (PQC) – Prices, Time to Town & Tips

Welcome to Phu Quoc Island! Getting from Phu Quoc Airport (PQC) to the city or your accommodation can be done in several ways, depending on your budget and needs. This guide will help you navigate the options so your vacation can start as comfortably as possible.

Taxi from the Airport

Official taxi stands are usually located near the airport exits. It is advisable to book a taxi directly from the stand to avoid excessive prices. Taxis generally use a meter, but it is worth discussing the estimated cost to your destination with the driver in advance. It takes about 20-30 minutes to reach the center of Phu Quoc city, depending on traffic. The taxi fare is approximately 15-25 EUR.

Private Transfer

A private transfer is a more comfortable but slightly more expensive option. Most providers can be booked in advance, and the driver will be waiting for you in the airport arrivals hall with a sign displaying your name. It is important to provide the correct flight number and destination address when booking. The price of a private transfer usually ranges from 25-40 EUR, depending on the distance. Check the agreed price with the driver upon arrival.

Shared Transfer and Minibus

A shared transfer or minibus can be a cost-effective solution if you are not in a hurry. These services transport multiple passengers and stop at several locations. The journey time may be longer, up to 45-60 minutes, depending on traffic and hotel locations. The price of a shared transfer is usually between 8-15 EUR. This solution is ideal if you are traveling alone or in a small group and do not mind multiple stops.

Public Transportation

Public transportation on Phu Quoc Island is not as developed as in other Vietnamese cities. Bus services are available, but they are not always comfortable, and the journey time can be much longer. The bus can be a good choice if you have a low budget and are not in a hurry. The bus fare may be a few euros.

You can easily reach the city center and popular resorts, such as Duong Dong, Long Beach or Ong Lang Beach, by taxi, private transfer or shared transfer.
