Private Car Transfer from Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City - Mui Ne Private Car
Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City Travel Q&A
1. Where is Long Xuyen?
Long Xuyen is the provincial capital of An Giang province in the upper Mekong Delta, about 187 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City. It is the largest city in the Mekong Delta after Can Tho and serves as the administrative and commercial center of An Giang . Travelers passing through Long Xuyen are typically completing an upper Delta circuit from Chau Doc and the Cambodian border area, or coming from Can Tho. For the journey back to the city, private car rental from Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City via CT01 is the cleanest single-vehicle option that covers the full distance door to door.
2. How far is Long Xuyen from Ho Chi Minh City?
The distance by private car from Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City via CT01 is approximately 187 km. The route travels northeast from Long Xuyen across the An Giang and Dong Thap flatlands, picks up the HCMC - Trung Luong Expressway on the Tien Giang side, and enters Ho Chi Minh City from the southwest. The expressway is what keeps the journey under four hours - without it, the same route through the old provincial roads with their market towns and river crossings would add two hours or more.

4. How long does the Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City transfer take?
The travel time by private car is approximately 3 hours and 55 minutes via National Highway 1. The section leading into Ho Chi Minh City is where travel times vary the most—during rush hour from 7:00–9:00 a.m. and 4:00–7:00 p.m. on weekdays, travel time may increase by 20 to 40 minutes depending on the destination district. For airport transfer services, pickup times in Long Xuyen are calculated based on your flight’s departure time and check-in requirements; therefore, a buffer time has been factored in before your departure. The first hour at each stop is free. Additional waiting time will be 100,000 VND (~5 USD) per hour.
5. How to get from Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City
- Bus: There are sleeper bus and express bus routes running between Long Xuyen and Ho Chi Minh City, departing from the Long Xuyen Bus Station and arriving at the Mien Tay Bus Station in Binh Chanh—located on the western outskirts of the city, a short taxi ride from most hotels but significantly farther from the airport. For travelers with luggage who need to reach a specific address or bus terminal, the bus will make a final stop that a private car could help you save time on.
- Self-drive: The highway route is fairly straightforward, but driving into the western part of Ho Chi Minh City and locating a specific address within the districts or the entrance to Tan Son Nhat Bus Station upon arrival requires local knowledge, turning the final 20 minutes of an otherwise simple trip into an unnecessarily complicated ordeal.
- Private car via Mui Ne Private Car: Your driver will be at your hotel in Long Xuyen before the scheduled time—the car will be started and ready to go, with the air conditioning on and drinks prepared on the seats. Your luggage will be transferred from the hotel lobby to the trunk. The route to Ho Chi Minh City and your final destination—whether District 1, the airport, or any other address will be confirmed before departure. Your driver will handle navigation through the city. You’ll step out at the correct entrance of the exact building, with your luggage ready at your feet.
If you are departing from Chau Doc, Can Tho, or another city in An Giang or Dong Thap and would like to be picked up there instead of in Long Xuyen, please contact us for a quote on the adjusted itinerary. Private transportation from Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City can also be used as the final leg of a broader tour of the Mekong Delta region if the starting point changes.

LONG XUYEN TO HO CHI MINH CITY PRIVATE CAR TRANSFER
I. Long Xuyen to Ho Chi Minh City Center
The Night Before: Confirmation
No later than 9:00 PM Vietnam time on the evening before your transfer, you will receive a message via WhatsApp or email containing the driver’s full name, direct contact number, vehicle type, and license plate number. The pickup address in Long Xuyen and the drop-off address in Ho Chi Minh City will also be confirmed in this message. If any adjustments are needed before the following morning such as the departure time, destination address, or planned stops. You can contact us through the same channel for assistance without having to rebook the service.
Pickup in Long Xuyen
The driver will arrive at your hotel or guesthouse in Long Xuyen before the scheduled pickup time—the car will be started, the air conditioning will be on, and bottled water will be waiting for you on the seat. The hotel area in Long Xuyen is located along the Hau River in the city center; if your accommodation is on the riverbank or in one of the outlying districts, please let us know when booking so the pickup route can be arranged directly. Luggage will be transferred from the hotel lobby to the trunk of the vehicle. The destination in Ho Chi Minh City—district, hotel name, or airport terminal—will be confirmed before the vehicle departs.
On the Road - Delta Flats to the City
The drive northeast from Long Xuyen crosses the upper Mekong Delta landscape - flat, intensely farmed, with rice paddies and longan orchards replacing the coconut groves of the lower Delta, and the wide Hau River visible in the distance as the road pulls away from the city. The route moves through An Giang and Dong Thap before reaching the HCMC - Trung Luong Expressway, which carries the car across the Delta plain and into the city's outer ring. The HCMC approach is the one section that varies by time of day: your driver knows which approach keeps the city transit cleanest for the hour you are arriving. The first hour of any stop is included free. On a four-hour transfer most people continue without stopping, but a coffee break on the Delta road is easy to fit if you want it. Additional waiting beyond the first hour will be 100,000 VND (~$5 USD) per hour.
Arrival in Ho Chi Minh City
The driver will take you to the address confirmed when you booked the ride: a hotel in District 1, 3, or Binh Thanh, a specific address on any street in the city, or a private residence. Your luggage will be unloaded at the entrance. Before departing, the driver will conduct a 30-second vehicle check—checking for phones, wallets, headphones, passports, or any items in the door pockets or under the seats. If you paid a 50% deposit when booking, the remaining balance will be paid here in cash to the driver, or via PayPal, bank transfer, or credit card. The driver will say goodbye to you.
II. Long Xuyen to Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN) - Departure
For travelers who have just finished their tour of the An Giang Delta and are departing from Tan Son Nhat Airport, the private car service from Long Xuyen to Tan Son Nhat Airport will follow the same CT01 route—the difference lies in the fact that the schedule is based on the departure time. Flights have fixed check-in deadlines; therefore, the pickup time in Long Xuyen must be calculated in reverse from that timeframe, rather than estimated based on a general schedule.
Information Required when Booking
- Full name as it appears on your passport or boarding pass
- Flight number and departure time
- Domestic Terminal (T1) or International Terminal (T2)
- Number of passengers and luggage
We calculate the pickup time based on your departure time: the check-in window for your flight type (90 minutes for domestic, 2 to 3 hours for international), the driving time from Long Xuyen, and the exact terminal. The pickup time we confirm is a specific number based on your actual flight—not an estimate. Driver information and the confirmed departure time will be sent no later than 9:00 PM the day before. If your flight changes after booking, the schedule will be adjusted via WhatsApp message.
Note: Tan Son Nhat Airport has two terminals with separate entrances. Terminal T1 serves domestic flights; Terminal T2 serves international departures and arrivals. Please confirm the terminal when booking so that your driver can meet you at the correct pickup point upon arrival.
III. Ho Chi Minh City to Long Xuyen (Return Transfer)
Whether you’re starting your journey to explore the upper reaches of the Mekong Delta with Long Xuyen as your starting point, or heading to Chau Doc and the border region with Long Xuyen as your first stop, our private car transfer service from Ho Chi Minh City to Long Xuyen follows the reverse route of CT01—with the same vehicle standards, same process, and same fixed price.
Please provide your pickup address in Ho Chi Minh City and your desired departure time, and we will confirm immediately. Booking both legs at the same time qualifies for the round-trip package price—please send both dates via WhatsApp.
IV. Tan Son Nhat Airport to Long Xuyen (Arrival Transfer)
Landing at Tan Son Nhat and traveling directly to Long Xuyen to begin your journey exploring the Mekong Delta is one of the most efficient ways to make the most of your arrival day. No need to stay overnight in Ho Chi Minh City, nor transfer via bus from the Western Bus Station the next morning. For private car service from Tan Son Nhat Airport to Long Xuyen, please provide your flight number and landing time when booking. We monitor your flight—whether it lands early or late, the driver will adjust accordingly without you needing to call.
Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals area with a sign bearing your name before your flight lands—this information is confirmed the night before, and the driver’s name, vehicle type, and license plate number are sent directly to you.
Terminal guidance: Passengers arriving on international flights should exit Terminal T2. Passengers arriving on domestic flights should exit Terminal T1. Both terminals have a pickup area located just outside the exit gate. Your driver will be holding a sign with your name on it. If you cannot find your driver immediately upon exiting the gate, please call the direct phone number that was sent to you the night before.

Long Xuyen and An Giang Travel Guide
Best Time to Visit
The dry season from November to April is the most comfortable time to travel the upper Delta. Roads are reliable, river levels are lower, and the floating markets and fish farms on the Hau River are most accessible. The wet season from May to October brings significant flooding to parts of An Giang - the Tα»© giác Long Xuyên (Long Xuyen Quadrangle) floods deeply in September and October, which is actually the best time to see the floating landscape if that is specifically what you are after. The road to HCMC on CT01 is reliable year-round.
What to See Around Long Xuyen
- Chau Doc and Sam Mountain - About 60 km northwest of Long Xuyen, Chau Doc is the jumping-off point for the Cambodian border crossing and one of the most culturally layered towns in the Delta. Sam Mountain (Nui Sam) rises improbably from the flat plain above the town and is home to Ba Chua Xu Temple - one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in southern Vietnam - as well as several Khmer temples and a view over the Cambodian border flats from the summit that is worth the climb.
- Hau River Floating Fish Farms - The cage fish farms on the Hau River in Long Xuyen and the surrounding district are one of the largest in the Delta, producing a significant portion of Vietnam's pangasius export. Boat trips from the Long Xuyen riverfront in the early morning pass through the floating village sections where families live and work on the water year-round.
- Cho Moi Fruit Orchards - The Cho Moi district across the river from Long Xuyen is one of the most productive fruit-growing areas in An Giang, known for longan, mango, and durian. River crossings and orchard visits are easy to arrange from Long Xuyen as a half-day trip.
- Long Xuyen Floating Market - The floating market on the Hau River is most active before 7:00 AM, when wholesale trade in vegetables, fruit, and rice takes place from boats moored along the riverbank. Less dramatic than Cai Rang in Can Tho but more local in character - few tourists and working traders rather than tourist-oriented vendors.
