The Maxim app works on Phu Quoc and can be used to book a taxi. However, locals suggest Xanh SM (the green taxi, electric cars) is a better choice since pickup times are usually faster than Maxim.

If you want a pre-booked private transfer with a name sign and airport meet-and-greet, this service on Phu Quoc is usually more expensive than a standard taxi — roughly 350,000–500,000 VND depending on vehicle type and pickup time. It is convenient for late arrivals or families with luggage, but it is not the cheapest option.
