Finding the FUTA bus area was a bit trickey due to language barrier.

Booked a Limo from the airport to Vung Tao. Turned out that the limo didn't actually leave from the airport and they sent a car to transport us all the way across the city to the limo, adding an hour to the journey.

Timely and accommodating, unexpectedly the driver even dropped me off at my hotel. It seemed nothing could be too much trouble. I will definitely be using the service on my return leg.

It was a clean comfortable ride. Once I figured out how to adjust the chair 😊 we had a short, needed break and was delivered to my destination. Great service.
