How much does a taxi cost in Nha Trang, including airport rides, and can you pay if you haven’t exchanged cash yet?

Another option is the Grab app, which offers taxis, bike-taxis, and food/store delivery. Grab taxis are slightly pricier than Maxim, but drivers don't haggle over the fare like they sometimes do on Maxim. The bike-taxi option is about three times cheaper than a regular taxi, just as comfortable, and feels safer for solo riders than being alone with a taxi driver.

One traveler recommends installing the inDriver app instead of Maxim — in their experience rides were cheaper and easier to book.

If you’re calling a taxi from Cam Ranh Airport before exchanging money, confirm the payment method in advance. In practice, travelers often arrange these rides directly with the driver on WhatsApp before reaching the city.

For one specific Nha Trang route, a taxi from Wyndham Garden to Lotte Mart, about 26 km, cost around 280,000–300,000 VND with a local driver.

On the Wyndham Garden to Lotte Mart route, the same driver was about 100,000 VND cheaper than booking through the Maxim app, so a private driver may be better value for longer rides.
