Noi Bai Airport is about 30 km from Hanoi’s Old Quarter, taking 40–60 minutes by car depending on the time of day. If you are traveling with family, have a lot of luggage, or are landing late at night, a pre-booked private car is the most convenient option: the driver will be waiting with a name sign, so you do not have to negotiate prices or worry about being hassled.

Many people choose a 4-seat car for four passengers and then find there is not enough room for their suitcases. If each person has one large suitcase, choose a 7-seat car.
