How do you get a taxi faster with Maxim in Nha Trang, and which booking settings should you check?

Based on 2 discussions with 7 participants · Last activity: 15 days ago

TL;DR

In Nha Trang, Maxim drivers are more likely to accept your ride if you add a tip of about 10–20k VND in the “Details” section and make sure payment-to-driver or other restrictive filters are not blocking the search. If you need a return trip, many drivers will agree to wait or take you back for a slightly lower negotiated fare.

What the community said

The most effective way to get a car faster in Maxim is to open the “Details” section and add a tip of around 10–20k VND. For short and inexpensive rides, this is often enough to make drivers accept more quickly.

If you need a return ride, it’s practical to arrange it directly with the same driver and ask them to wait. Many drivers suggest this themselves after the first trip, and the return leg can sometimes be slightly cheaper than booking a new ride in the app.

If the app struggles to find a car, check your ride filters. Sometimes the issue is that “pay the driver” or another option is enabled and limits the pool of available drivers.

If your booking is not getting confirmed, check the payment options and make sure direct payment to the driver is not selected by mistake. Changing the payment method can sometimes improve your chances of getting matched.

For two passengers, you usually need to confirm the booking first and then add the second passenger. After that, the app recalculates and shows the fare for two people.

Pre-arranged transport packages are convenient because someone meets you and drives you directly, but booking your own taxi through an app can cost about half as much.
