Private Car Transfer from Bao Loc to Vung Tau - Mui Ne Private Car
Vung Tau is a coastal city in the Ba Ria – Vung Tau province, lying in a small peninsula that extends out into the South China Sea 120 kilometers to the southeast of Ho Chi Minh City. Vung Tau has served as the number one beach resort for southern Vietnam for decades, being close enough for day trips from Saigon and having all facilities, including budget accommodations as well as luxury beachfront resorts. The city has two beaches, namely Bai Truoc Beach (Front Beach), which faces the city, and Bai Sau Beach (Back Beach), which lies on the eastern part of the city, being longer, quieter, and filled with hotels. There is no commercial airport in Vung Tau, with most tourists arriving through road travel or the fast ferry from Ho Chi Minh City. For those coming from the highlands, the fastest way is by private car transfer from Bao Loc to Vung Tau via QL55.
The distance by private car transfer from Bao Loc to Vung Tau via QL55 is approximately 204 km. Route QL55 starts from Bao Loc and goes south through the provinces of Binh Thuan, passing through Ham Tan and La Gi and finally reaching the province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau.

Mui Ne Private Car (Google Maps reviews and Tripadvisor) - company sign & pickup board at hotel
Your driver would be waiting for you at your hotel or designated location in Bao Loc with the engine already turned on and air-conditioning running. There is bottled water available inside the vehicle. Your bags will be loaded into the vehicle from the hotel lobby – you don’t have to worry about anything related to that. The driver will confirm the drop-off location in Vung Tau – whether it’s a resort by Bai Sau beach or an inner-city hotel.
QL55 begins at Bao Loc and runs south towards Binh Thuan hills, where the road flattens out along the lowlands and continues into Ba Ria – Vung Tau province. The scenery transitions from the hills of the Central Highlands to the flat lands near the coast. It is quite a different journey compared to that from the Central Highlands – smoother and easier on your body after the four-hour ride. The first hour of waiting is free, which is perfect if you want to have a proper meal or rest halfway through the journey. Every additional hour of waiting costs 100,000 VND (~$5 USD).
Your driver will take you straight to your final destination – hotel reception, villa gate or any address on the Vung Tau peninsula. Your luggage will be taken out at your doorstep. Prior to departure, your driver will conduct a brief 30 seconds inspection in the car – mobile phones, wallets, earphones, passports, or any other item that might have gotten stuck under seats or behind doors during four hours of driving. Should there have been a deposit paid for at booking time, the rest will be paid in full at this stage either in cash to your driver or by other means such as PayPal, bank transfer or credit card. After settling all your affairs, your driver will bid you farewell and drive away.
Note: Vung Tau has two distinct beach areas - Bai Truoc (Front Beach) on the west side facing the harbor, and Bai Sau (Back Beach) on the east with most of the resort hotels. Please confirm your exact address or beach area at booking so your driver heads to the right side of the peninsula from the start.
When the beach trip ends and you want to head back up to Bao Loc or continuing further into the highlands, the private car transfer from Vung Tau to Bao Loc runs the same route in reverse with the same standards and the same process.
Please provide us with your pickup location in Vung Tau and departure time and we will confirm right away. To get our combined round trip rate, please book both legs together.
What travelers have said after using Mui Ne Private Car for city-to-city and coastal transfers across Vietnam.
"Private transfer was handled efficiently with quick response and punctual pickup. The driver drove safely, and the air-conditioned SUV was ideal for family travel. A practical solution for city-to-city transport."
"I arranged for a driver to pick me up at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City and drive my family to Vung Tau, over 2 hours in the car.

Best Time to Visit
Vung Tau is among the rare places along the coast of southern Vietnam which remain quite dry throughout most of the year. The dry season spans November through April, characterized by calm waters, low humidity, and excellent beach conditions. The wet season spans May to October, when there is afternoon rainfall along with some rough waves, although not for the whole day. The city is always busy during the weekends due to its closeness to Ho Chi Minh City; however, if you are visiting during the weekdays, the beaches are yours.
