Da Lat Taxi Fares Explained
Da Lat taxis are metered and charge by distance, with fares varying by car size (4-seat vs 7-seat). There is no published per-minute rate; the meter runs on kilometres, and night-time trips cost more per km than daytime ones.
For the roughly 30 km run from Lien Khuong Airport to town, most travellers pay a negotiated flat fee rather than relying on the meter. Within the city centre, short hops typically cost 30,000–50,000 VND, so metered fares matter most for longer out-of-town routes.

About Taxis in Da Lat 🚕
Da Lat's taxi market is dominated by local operators such as Mai Linh, Lado, Thang Loi, Dalat Taxi and Quoc Te, alongside the VinFast electric fleet Xanh SM and ride-hailing apps Grab and Be.
A 4-seater opens at about 12,000–15,000 VND and then runs roughly 16,000–17,500 VND per km; a 7-seater is slightly dearer. The main hub is Lien Khuong Airport (DLI), about 30 km south of the city, where a metered or flat-fare trip into town runs roughly 250,000–350,000 VND (often around 200,000–300,000 VND if pre-booked).
Popular metered trips include the routes to Love Valley, Cau Dat Tea Hill, Lang Biang and Truc Lam Zen Monastery, and the city's narrow, hilly streets make app-based or pre-booked cars the most predictable option.
