Although some bus services also offer this (although this service is usually at the beach destinations rather than in the towns) this is a great advantage and saves you from having to drag your luggage to the main bus station or the allocated bus pick up place.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that often a car will come and pick you up from your destination if you are located in the central area and it is busy. This is because it is easier for a car to navigate the traffic and then after picking you up, it will inevitably drive around and pick other people up from their hotels. This works both ways \u2013 i.e., when leaving the town\/city and when entering \u2013 so don\u2019t be worried when you are returning and suddenly the limousine stops and everyone gets off \u2013 they are all simply moving to the traffic efficient form of transportation!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Guides:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/tipping-in-vietnam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tipping In Vietnam: How Much &amp; For Whom Should You Tip?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-book-a-limousine-in-vietnam\"><strong>How to book a&nbsp;limousine in Vietnam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-29658 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Why-use-a-limousine-instead-of-a-minibus.jpg\" alt=\"How to book a limousine in Vietnam\" class=\"wp-image-29658\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>How to book a limousine in Vietnam<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A &nbsp;limousine in Vietnam&nbsp;can be booked easily online \u2013 there are often options to pay there and then with your card or pay whilst on the limousine. They do cost more than the standard minibus but when you compare prices it is easy to see that it is worth a lot of comfort for a small price!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prices for the seats varies according to the seat that you book.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most expensive seats are the four self contained armchair type seats, with the second most expensive being the shared back seat.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"seats-in-a-limousine-are-luxurious\"><strong>Seats in a limousine are luxurious&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cheapest seats on a limousine in Vietnam are the front seats -which are much more \u201cnormal \u201cstandard. The seat by the door is fine, however, if you get trapped in the central front seat \u2013 stuck between the driver on one side and another passenger on the other, it is not the most comfortable! Please note that in the front seat there may or may not be seat belts \u2013 so this is also something to consider.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you book you will be given a selection of times to choose from \u2013 please note that these times are not exact (except if you are at the starting point ) as the car is going around picking people up, so there will inevitably be delays with people not getting in the car on time or traffic etc.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-29659 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Seats-in-a-limousine-are-luxurious.jpg\" alt=\"Seats in a limousine are luxurious \" class=\"wp-image-29659\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Seats in a limousine are luxurious<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To assist with this, you are initially given a fifteen or even thirty minute time frame in which you will be picked up \u2013 for example, between 4.30 \u2013 4.45 pm \u2013 so that you have some idea and can get ready. The company will typically then call you when they are about five minutes away so that you can be standing at the hotel entrance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that typically these companies have absolutely no English so you will need someone to help you work out what they are saying. It is understood in Vietnam that foreigners will not be able to understand Vietnamese, so people are very happy to help with translation \u2013 so if you do find yourself in the street and the limousine company are on the phone it is fine to put the phone on speaker and ask someone in the street to help you!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explore More About Vietnam:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnamteachingjobs.com\/blog\/coffee-chains-in-vietnam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 Most Famous Coffee Chains in Vietnam you should try once<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-is-the-journey-on-a-limousine-in-vietnam\"><b>How is the journey on a&nbsp;limousine in Vietnam?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As expected, limousine journeys are quite smooth \u2013 typically drivers who care more about the vehicle and thus do not simply bounce over bumps in the road or skid around corners. With blankets provided and air conditioning, the journey is usually rather nice and it is easy to lean back and look at the view or snooze.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The limousine will stop at designed larger \u201c service stations \u201c for at least a toilet break ( which will be about ten minutes ) or a food break ( which will be about twenty minutes )&nbsp; It is important to make sure that you know when the limousine will be setting off again so that you don\u2019t miss it ( simply hold up a number of fingers and you will get a response ) and to check what your limousine looks like so that you get back on the correct one!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201dservice stations\u201c in Vietnam vary tremendously from quite decent ones with clean toilets, a shop ( which is a little expensive ) and various food options to those which need resolve to visit the toilet and the cleanliness of the food area leaves a lot to be desired!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, a limousine is a great way to travel if you are going a shorter distance \u2013 although more expensive than the usual form of transport, it is well worth the little bit extra and although not up to a real \u201climousine \u201cexperience, it is a little bit of luxury nonetheless!
