        If your flight is delayed, will the airport pickup wait? Yes. When you book an airport pickup with CarRentalVietnam.vn, the driver tracks your flight in an app and adjusts to your actual landing time. If the flight is late, the car still waits and there is no waiting fee. Here is how flight tracking works and what to send when you book.

        How the driver tracks your flight

        The driver saves your flight number and follows its status in an app: departure, estimated arrival and any changes. So the driver leaves based on when the plane really lands, not a guess. It also helps when a flight arrives early.

        Delays: the car waits, no waiting fee

        Delays are common, especially in the year-end peak and around Tet. You do not need to call with a new time; the driver already sees it. Time for immigration and baggage is allowed for after landing, and the driver waits until you come out. We do not charge waiting fees for airport pickups.

        What to send when you book

        Meeting point at the airport

        The driver contacts you by phone or Zalo after landing and agrees a meeting point at the right arrivals hall, domestic or international. If you would like a name board, add a note when booking. See Tan Son Nhat transfer tips and, for faster formalities, the fast track service.
