Getting around Can Tho by taxi

Unlike Ho Chi Minh city, different taxi company drivers are quite the same in the quality (or honesty). The average taxi price here is from VND 13.000 to VND 17.000 per kilometer. Almost taxis are from Mai Linh and Happy taxi company; however, they are both more expensive than other firms. Besides, wherever you go, don’t forget that taxis in Can Tho are not always available like in Saigon. Therefore, remember to keep a taxi company number on hand and call for a pickup rather than wait for a random one. Additionally, this will have to be done in Vietnamese because Can Tho taxi drivers being able to speak English are rare and not very common. You can ask the hotel receptionist for help.
