Airport Transportation in Hanoi
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Noi Bai International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
We arrange airport transportation in Hanoi for travelers heading to hotels in the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake, apartments and offices across the city, Hanoi Railway Station, and onward trips toward Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Sapa.
Hanoi Airport Transfers
Our Hanoi airport transfers start just outside the arrivals exit of your terminal: Terminal 2 for international flights and Terminal 1 for domestic flights. Your driver waits with a name sign and tracks your flight, so the pickup follows your actual landing time.
Vehicles range from sedans for couples to vans for families and groups, and every Hanoi airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or office. Going on to Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh or Sapa? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Hanoi Airport Shuttle
Our Hanoi airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you are through arrivals instead of stopping at other hotels. It has room for suitcases and backpacks, which suits families, groups and travelers starting a longer trip around northern Vietnam.
Landing at Hanoi Airport
Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) is Hanoi's main airport, in the outer Soc Son area north of the city, and is run by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV). It has two separate terminals: Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international flights, linked by a free electric shuttle.
On an international flight you arrive at Terminal 2, go through immigration, collect your luggage in the baggage hall and pass customs into the public arrivals area. Domestic flights arrive at Terminal 1, where you go straight to baggage claim.
Hanoi is on Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Visa or e-visa
Citizens of some countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and South Korea, can stay up to 45 days without a visa. Most other travelers need a Vietnam e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and issued online through the official government portal, before they fly.
Two terminals
The terminal depends on the flight, not the airline: Terminal 1 handles domestic flights and Terminal 2 international ones. Tell us which one you land at and depart from.
Vietnamese dong
Vietnam uses the Vietnamese dong (VND), and cash is still widely used for small shops, markets and street food.
Time zone
Hanoi is on Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year, with no daylight saving time.

How Hanoi Airport pickup works

Clear arrivals
Immigration, baggage claim, then customs. Representatives can't enter those areas.

Meet your representative
At the meeting point in your confirmation. Check the company name before getting in.

Go straight there
No other stops, no other passengers.
Meet in arrivals
Pre-booked drivers usually wait just outside the arrivals exit of your terminal: Terminal 2 for international flights and Terminal 1 for domestic flights, holding a sign with your name.
Check your terminal
Make sure your driver knows whether you land at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, as the terminals are separate buildings.
Don't accept a ride from someone claiming to know your booking. Check the company name and reservation details before getting in.

Where will my driver meet me at Hanoi Airport?
Your driver waits just outside the arrivals exit of your terminal with a name sign: Terminal 2 for international flights and Terminal 1 for domestic flights. Make sure your booking shows which terminal you land at.
How far is Hanoi Airport from the city center?
Noi Bai International Airport is roughly 25 to 30 km north of central Hanoi. The drive over the Nhat Tan Bridge usually takes 40 to 50 minutes outside rush hour, and can take more than an hour at peak times.
Can you take me to the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake?
Yes. Enter your hotel's full address in the booking form, including the street and lane number, and choose a vehicle for your party and luggage.
Can you take me to Hanoi Railway Station?
Yes. Enter Hanoi Railway Station as your drop-off if you are catching a train, for example toward Sapa, and allow plenty of time before departure.
Can you take me to Ha Long Bay?
Many cruises include road transport from Hanoi, so check your cruise booking first. Need a private ride from the airport? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Can you take me to Ninh Binh or Sapa?
Ninh Binh lies south of Hanoi and Sapa far to the northwest, near the Chinese border. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Which terminal will I arrive at in Hanoi?
International flights arrive at Terminal 2 and domestic flights at Terminal 1, whichever airline you fly. The two are separate buildings, so give us your flight number when you book.
Do you pick up from apartments and serviced residences?
Yes. Give the full address with the building name, street and lane number, so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.
What if my flight lands late at night?
Book with your flight number and your driver is timed to your actual landing, whatever the hour, so you are not looking for a ride after a long flight.
Should I buy transportation from agents inside the terminal?
You will see taxi ranks and ride offers at arrivals, but booking ahead means a driver is already waiting with your name and the vehicle fits your group and luggage.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay moves your pickup. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or the flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so we can update the booking.
Can I book a ride back to Hanoi Airport?
Yes. Book a pickup from your hotel to Noi Bai International Airport and tell us whether you fly from Terminal 1 (domestic) or Terminal 2 (international).
Do I need a visa to enter Vietnam at Hanoi Airport?
It depends on your nationality. Citizens of some countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and South Korea, can stay up to 45 days without a visa; most other travelers need a Vietnam e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and applied for online through the official government portal before departure.
