What it is and who it suits

A private transfer from Phu Quoc Airport to Bai Sao is a cross-island car ride to the south-east coast. Our guide range, checked on 5 November 2026, is USD 16 to 29 per vehicle, and the drive takes 45 minutes to 1 hour for about 30 to 35 km. It suits families, groups with suitcases and late arrivals who want a driver waiting.

Bai Sao is on the opposite side of the island from the airport, so this is a longer trip than a ride into town. It is also a poor fit for buses with luggage.

What is included

Inclusions belong to each operator, so use this as a list of questions:

  • Does the driver hold a sign with your name in arrivals?
  • Does the driver help with luggage?
  • Does the car go directly to your Sao Beach stay?
  • Are tolls, waiting time and night hours covered?
  • Is the vehicle a car or a minivan, and is it shared or private?

Resort shuttles are usually shared minivans that may stop at two or three resorts in the Bai Sao area, so a private car can be quicker. Confirm in the chat.

Shorter rides of about 25 minutes are listed lower, from USD 12 to 18, but Bai Sao is a longer cross-island run, so do not use that as your headline figure. What changes the price: vehicle size, travel time, the hour of the day, tolls and waiting. Compare the nearby routes on the An Thoi transfer and Bai Khem transfer pages.

How far is Bai Sao and how long does the drive take?
Bai Sao is on the opposite side of the island from the airport. The direct drive is about 30 to 35 km and takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, according to local sources. Rain or heavy traffic can add time, so build in a buffer for flights on the same day.
Is there a different price for a car and a minivan?
Vehicle size changes the quote, but the sources we checked do not give separate figures for a car and a minivan. The USD 16 to 29 guide range is for a private vehicle on this route. Send your group size and luggage on WhatsApp and ask for the price of each size.
Can I take a public bus to Bai Sao?
There is no direct public bus. Travellers would take a bus to Duong Dong and then switch to a taxi. Local sources say this works for a solo backpacker with one bag but is impractical with suitcases. A pre-booked car goes directly to your Sao Beach stay.
Is the road safe at night?
Local sources report that the final road to Bai Sao is paved but can be dark at night. If you land late, ask your driver about the route, confirm the price includes any night hours, and keep your stay's address ready on your phone.
When should I book?
In peak season from November to March, taxi queues are longer and private transfers can book out, according to local sources. Book as soon as your flights are fixed. In the rainy season, June to October, roads can flood and travel times can increase significantly.
