Official Vientiane Airport taxi service is available outside the Arrivals hall. There is a booth just before exiting outside where you can purchase a coupon. The coupon system ensures that travellers are not ripped off.




 Unofficial Vientiane Airport Taxi Service or Hire Points

 

Tuk tuks or Jumbos (3 wheeled motorcycle taxis, see photo) can be hired from the main road just outside the Vientiane Airport. Tuk tuks are not allowed to stop inside the airport grounds to pick up passengers. Tuk tuks will be about USD 2 to town, but you will need to negotiate and they are a little more limited for luggage space.


 
IHateTaxis.com has a mixed recommendation on the unofficial Vientiane Airport taxi service.

Tuk tuks are a much better deal, but you will need to walk a little bit (5-10 minutes) and they are more limited for luggage space (but you could always hire 2 and it is still cheaper than one taxi).
