Private Car Transfer from Long Xuyen to Can Tho via QL91 - Mui Ne Private Car
Can Tho is the largest city in the Mekong Delta and the regional hub for the entire lower delta - a municipality of around 1.2 million people on the Hau River with its own airport, the most developed tourism infrastructure in the region, and the Cai Rang floating wholesale market that draws visitors from across Vietnam and abroad every morning before 8:00 AM. For travelers doing a delta circuit from An Giang or Chau Doc, Can Tho is typically the next major stop: the Ninh Kieu riverside at dusk, day trips to Phong Dien market, Binh Thuy Ancient House, or the island communities accessible by boat from the main wharf. The city sits 61 km southeast of Long Xuyen along the Hau River corridor. For anyone coming from the upper delta, private car rental from Long Xuyen to Can Tho via QL91 is the most direct connection between the two cities.
The distance by private car from Long Xuyen to Can Tho via QL91 is approximately 61.2 km. The highway runs southeast through the Hau River corridor - flat delta agricultural country, rice paddies and longan orchards on the inland side, and the wide river visible from the higher sections. At 61 km it is one of the shorter delta legs, but the difference between a bus that drops at Can Tho's outer terminal and a private car that delivers to a specific riverfront hotel or market dock is meaningful regardless of distance.
Distance from Long Xuyen to Can Tho via National Highway QL91
Travel time by private car is approximately 1 hour and 39 minutes via QL91. The road is flat and direct throughout - no mountain sections, no significant bridge complications. The main variability is light traffic through the district town sections on the approach to Can Tho city center. The first hour of any stop is included free. On a journey this short most people skip the break, but a coffee stop along QL91 is easy without meaningfully affecting arrival time. Additional waiting beyond the first hour: 100,000 VND (~$5 USD) per hour.
Cai Rang Floating Market is most active between 5:00 and 8:00 AM. A private car from Long Xuyen to Can Tho departing at 4:00-4:30 AM arrives at the market boat dock area in time for the peak wholesale activity. Mention this at booking and we plan the early departure and the Cai Rang dock as drop-off accordingly.

Mui Ne Private Car (Google Maps reviews and Tripadvisor) - company sign & pickup board at hotel
Your driver arrives at your hotel or any Long Xuyen address before the agreed pickup time - car running, air conditioning on, water on the seats. Long Xuyen's main accommodation area runs along the Hau River in the city center; if your guesthouse is in an outer district or on a canal-side street, mention it at booking so the routing is direct. Luggage goes from the lobby to the boot. Before the car moves, your driver confirms the Can Tho drop-off: the exact hotel name, the Ninh Kieu wharf area, the Cai Rang market landing, or any other specific address in the city. If you are starting from Chau Doc, Sa Dec, or another nearby city rather than Long Xuyen, contact us and we quote the adjusted pickup.
QL91 southeast from Long Xuyen is quintessential Mekong Delta driving: flat, straight, and productive. The road runs roughly parallel to the Hau River for much of its length, with rice paddies and longan orchards on the inland side and the river visible at intervals. The route passes through several district town centers - O Mon, Thot Not - before the Can Tho outer ring announces the approach into the city. At under two hours this is a transfer that ends before you have finished settling in. Your driver maintains a steady pace suited to the delta road. The first hour of any stop is included free. Additional waiting beyond the first hour: 100,000 VND (~$5 USD) per hour.
Your driver takes you to the exact drop-off confirmed at booking. Can Tho's addresses spread across several distinct areas - the Ninh Kieu riverside hotel strip, the older guesthouse streets behind the night market, the Cai Rang district toward the floating market, and the newer hotel development in Binh Thuy district. Your driver knows which approach reaches each area most directly. Luggage is unloaded at your entrance. Before leaving, your driver does a 30-second check of the vehicle - phone, wallet, earphones, passport, anything in the door pockets or under the seats. Balance settled in cash to the driver, or via PayPal, bank transfer, or credit card.
Note on Cai Rang timing: If catching Cai Rang Floating Market at peak activity (5:00-8:00 AM) is your plan for arrival day, a 4:00-4:30 AM departure from Long Xuyen arrives at the Cai Rang boat dock area in time for the full morning. Tell us at booking - we confirm the early pickup and note Cai Rang as the first drop-off so you go to the market before checking into the hotel.
Heading back northwest from Can Tho to Long Xuyen - or continuing to Chau Doc, the Cambodian border crossing, or completing the upper delta loop - the private car transfer from Can Tho to Long Xuyen runs the same QL91 route in reverse. Same vehicle standards, same process, same fixed pricing.
Provide your Can Tho pickup address and preferred departure time and we confirm immediately. Booking both legs at once gets a combined round-trip rate - send us both dates via WhatsApp.
From travelers who have used Mui Ne Private Car across southern Vietnam and the Mekong Delta.
"Seamless experience with Mui Ne Private Car from booking to drop-off. Communication was instant, the driver arrived early, and the vehicle was spacious and comfortable. Safe driving and excellent value."
"The seats were comfortable and clean. When the driver was confused with the address, the company immediately contacted me on WhatsApp. The driver also arrived earlier than the expected pick-up time and it lessened our worries."
Best Time to Visit
Can Tho is worth visiting year-round but the dry season from November to April gives the most comfortable conditions - lower humidity, lower river levels that concentrate the floating market activity, and cleaner early morning light for boat trips on the Hau River. The wet season from May to October brings significant afternoon rain but the delta is lush and the river higher. The Cai Rang floating market operates every day regardless of season; what changes is the light and atmosphere, not the activity itself.
