Arriving at Tân Sơn Nhất, without the wait

How a Velour airport pickup works at Ho Chi Minh City's Tân Sơn Nhất — the name board, the flight tracking, and the sixty minutes of wait time no delay can touch.

Tân Sơn Nhất is not a difficult airport — it is simply a crowded one. Most arrivals spend their first half hour in Vietnam negotiating a taxi rank or searching a car park for a driver whose number they were given an hour ago. The pickup we run is designed so that none of that reaches you.

The name board, not the car park

Your chauffeur waits just outside the arrivals hall with a board bearing your name. There is no app to open and no call to place — you clear customs, you find your name, and your luggage leaves your hands. Where a terminal is large or under works, we confirm the exact meeting point by message before you land.

The measure of an arrival is what you did not have to think about.

A delay is never your problem

We follow your flight from the moment it leaves the ground. Land early and your chauffeur is already in position; land late and the pickup has quietly moved with you. Up to sixty minutes of wait time is complimentary on every airport ride, and a schedule change costs nothing.

The fare, settled before you fly

An airport transfer is quoted as one fixed figure before you reserve — not a meter, not a surge. The fare excludes VAT of 8–10% and route extras such as tolls and parking; a deposit of half confirms the booking and the balance is settled on arrival. Current fares by class:

Child seats are fitted on request at no extra charge — note the ages when you book. If you would like a brief stop on the way in, a coffee or an errand, tell us at booking or simply ask the chauffeur en route.
