Thank goodness Trixy informed me that the taxi ride from Sunway Hotel Hanoi to Noi Bai Airport should not be more than USD12!
As far as I'm aware, the Noi Bai Taxi (White and Yellow coloured taxis) is generally reputable and can be trusted to charge according to meter/ the going rate. However the taxi driver (he didn't speak much English) I had wanted to charge me USD15!
I insisted that the hotel people told me to pay USD12 only for the ride and repeated myself sternly & a little loudly. In a nutshell, he accepted my USD12 and helped heave my luggages out of his taxi's boot.
So make sure u ask how much to pay beforehand so that you are not overcharged (tho fuel price may be escalating..about USD105 now).
In my opinion, overcharging by taxi drivers happens frequently in KL too. It's only in Singapore that the taxi drivers charge according to the meter (including surcharges) as there is enforcement by the authorities.
