In terms of recycling transportation when traveling to Vietnam, the editor recommends choosing a tour bus or grab. The former needs to be booked online in advance, so everyone should do it carefully. It will be more convenient later. The price will be a little more expensive. Comparison and booking of Openbus

There are three well-known tour bus operators in Vietnam:

New Coffee, Han Coffee, and Futa. This time I took Futa and New Coffee.

1. New Coffee:

Generally, Chinese people ride more, the seats are relatively spacious, the staff have good English skills and are relatively punctual, but they do not provide pick-up and drop-off services. It is said that tickets will be more expensive during holidays. Price increases, ticket changes and refunds are strict.

2. Futa:

It can be delivered to the hotel with many departures. The ticket price is very reasonable, and more European and American people take it. It is said that you can change your ticket online once (except for holidays) and you can only refund the ticket on site, not online.

3. Han Coffee:

The price is cheaper, but the car is older and not punctual, so some sites are difficult to find.

In summary, I tend to choose FUTA tickets, followed by New Coffee, and finally Han Coffee. You can also follow your travel time to see if there is new coffee or Futa during that time period.

As for booking tickets, you can choose to book tickets yourself on the official website or find an agent. The ticket agent may charge an extra 6 yuan for a ticket worth 30 yuan. This time I ordered the Futa from Ho Chi Minh to Mui Ne on the official website, and the new coffee from Mui Ne to Da Lat from a certain store. If you order from the official website, you can pick it up directly with your passport. If you order from an agency, you need a confirmation form. futa official website booking process

After opening the homepage, you can select in the upper left column Although the departure and arrival places are in Vietnamese, the destination can still be distinguished by transliteration. Then select the ride time and number of tickets.

step2.

After you select the range, you will be informed of the price, and then select the ride time and ticket collection address. The default first ticket collection address is Pham Ngu Lao Street. It is recommended to choose this That’s good, how did I understand it? Haha, the transliteration thought it was Fan Wulao Street, but after I went there, it turned out to be the case, hahaha.

The next step is to choose a seat. Don’t choose the one on the second floor. Not to mention the inconvenience of getting up and down, and it will be cold when it is next to the air-conditioning outlet! The gray one means it has been sold, and the one with a number means it is optional.

step3.

Then you need to fill in your personal information and credit card authorization. You need to fill in your name, email address, passport number, contact information, address, etc. Please note that the passport number is not required here. Write the letters in. At this point, you can translate the page into English, otherwise you won’t be able to understand it. I didn’t take the screenshots in English. You can convert them into English when the time comes.

After the reservation is successful, the page that will appear:

How to download and use Grab

How can I put it this way? Grab is my life-saving tool in Vietnam. Before I went there, I heard that there are many taxi pits in Vietnam. They don’t use meters or have little change. First of all When the sky passed, I couldn't calculate the face value of the money at all. It was basically whatever he asked me for.

Grab is cheaper than renting, and the fee is fixed. It is divided into two methods: online payment and cash payment. Online payment is recommended here. You can use a credit card to top up. On the one hand, online payment The payment is cheaper, and more importantly, it is more convenient because there is no need to change money with cash. I took a Grab taxi from Ho Chi Minh Airport to the city. When I got to the hotel, I found that he had missed my change, so I paid online all the time thereafter. It’s very convenient and worry-free. You don’t have to worry about being cheated, and you don’t have to be confused by calculating money.

I am not sure whether domestic mobile phone numbers can be registered. It is recommended to register with a local mobile phone number when you arrive there, so when buying a phone card, you can buy a card with call time. I had registered before in Malay, so I used the one directly. If the driver called me, he would not be able to get through. Anyway, I might not be able to communicate. It is more reliable to send messages. Since the registration card is a Malay phone card, I still can’t get through. Some drivers mistakenly thought I was a Malaysian Chinese hahaha.

Tips:

1. You can download the iPhone before going abroad, but you need to go abroad to use it.

For Android devices, you need to download it from the local Google store

and then download it. If you download it in China in advance, it will not work there.

2. Whether it is a taxi or grab, if you give cash, try to give the right amount. This will reduce the chance of being scammed. You can go to a convenience store to change some change.
