Anywhere in Da Lat (including airport or city) → Binh Yen Hotel or any local point
💡 Download the Grab app in advance and link a card — data signal can be spotty in the hills. From the city centre to Binh Yen, expect about 25–30,000 VND. For airport trips, Grab is often 30% cheaper than street taxis, but wait times can be 10–15 minutes if the driver is coming from the city.
