Private Driver Hire: Airport Transfers, Day Hire and a Monthly Driver
A car and a vetted driver, booked through Nest: one airport run, a full day out, or your own driver every working day, at a price agreed before you set off.
Real people, not a call centreMeet Leslie and Claire and the rest of the team. A real person reads every private driver request and gets back to you on the app you prefer, in English or Vietnamese.
Most people who move here decide quickly that they will not drive themselves. The traffic takes years to read, the licence question is complicated, and a ride app is fine for a short hop but not for the school run, a day in the countryside or a 6am flight with the whole family. A driver you can rely on is the calm answer.
Nest arranges private drivers for the people we help settle in, and for anyone else who needs one. You tell us the trip, we confirm the vehicle, the driver and the price, and you deal with Nest from the first message to the last.

What is included
Every booking is a car or van with its own driver, for your group alone. You are never sharing the ride, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
- A vetted driver and a well-kept vehicle sized for your group and your bags
- A price agreed before the trip, so there is no meter and no haggling
- One contact at Nest for the booking, changes and anything that goes wrong
- Airport pickups that meet you at arrivals and follow your flight if it lands early or late
The vehicles
Most bookings are a 4-seat car for one or two people with luggage, or a 7-seat car for a family. A 16-seat van suits a larger family with a lot of luggage or a small team. For a group, an event or a company outing we can arrange minibuses and coaches up to 45 seats, quoted on request.
How booking works
Send a booking request below with the date, the time, where you are being picked up and where you are going. A person from the team confirms the driver and the price with you, and nothing is booked or charged until they do. Prices are per vehicle, in Vietnamese đồng. Tolls, parking and VAT are added on top.
