Getting around

Getting from Cam Ranh airport to your hotel

Short answer

The public bus between the terminal and central Nha Trang. It is slower than a taxi and stops on the way, but it is the cheapest option by a wide margin.

Five ways out of the terminal, ranging from about a dollar to about thirty. The cheapest is genuinely usable, and the most expensive is worth it at 2 a.m. with children.

Airport

IATA	CXR
Name	Cam Ranh International Airport
Terminals	Two passenger terminals (domestic T1 and international T2)
Distance To Nha Trang (km)	37.1

How It Works	Metered taxis queue outside the terminal exits. The two brands consistently recommended are Mai Linh (green) and Vinasun (white). Drivers frequently propose a fixed fare instead of running the meter; agree the fare or insist on the meter before departing.
Published Fixed Fare	No single official published tariff sheet was found. Reported fares to Nha Trang centre vary by source.
