Is Grab safe and easy to use from the airport after immigration?

Grab is widely used and generally safe in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and airports have signed pickup areas for it. Booking after you clear immigration is straightforward if you have data or Wi-Fi.

Steps: connect to the airport Wi-Fi or your SIM, open the Grab app, set your drop-off and follow the pickup instructions in the app. Match the plate number and driver name before you get in, and check the price shown on the app.

If you land late, are tired, or have a lot of luggage, a pre-booked hotel transfer can be easier. It costs more, but the driver waits with your name on a sign and the price is fixed.

Official airport taxis with a meter also work. Avoid people who approach you inside the terminal. See the Vietnam travel guide for more arrival advice.
