TL;DR
Yes, drivers on Grab and Maxim often request an extra 12,000–20,000 VND airport entry fee. It's a real charge, but can be covered via in-app tips if you have no cash.
On a Grab ride from Cam Ranh airport to Nha Trang, the driver requested an additional 12,000 VND airport entry fee right after leaving the terminal area. This appears to be a standard charge.
Cash is still widely used in Nha Trang. Taxi apps Maxim, InDrive, and Grab all accept cash payment, which is handy for covering airport surcharges.
A Maxim driver requested 20,000 VND cash for the airport entry fee. If you have no cash, you can add the equivalent amount as an in-app tip through the Maxim app — this workaround works.
