+ Airport Shuttle bus: Outside the arrival terminal, you can see the shuttle buses, the buses come every 45 minutes and most of them cost 40,000 VND ($1.80). The shuttle bus you take does not have to be the same as your airline (except Jetstar Airline). However, if choose shuttle bus service, you should check the drop-off point of the bus before booking. 

+ Public bus: This is the best way to save your budget for your trip, however, it is not as convenient as private car pick up of course. As Shuttle bus service, you can also find the public bus outside the terminal exit. The bus reaches the drop-off point in Hanoi in about 1 hour. Please check the map to choose the drop off point nearest your accommodation, then you can take the taxi or walk there. 

+ Taxi service: If you do not use the buses but not book the pick-up service yet, regular taxi is a good choice for you. It is easy to find a taxi outside the terminal. However, please be careful when taking a taxi, you should check the price with the driver first.
