What is Private Driver with ATL DMC?
2-paragraph service walkthrough · UQ per service
Private driver = your driver for the whole day. Sedan/SUV/Van + 1 driver · 8-10 hour day · you decide stops + pace + routing. Driver waits at restaurants + temples + photo spots. Most-booked for: Hanoi day trips (Tam Coc · Bat Trang) · Hoi An countryside (My Son · Cham Islands by boat then car) · HCMC Cu Chi + Mekong combo.
Compare to Grab/taxi: pre-confirmed driver for the day, not pay-by-trip. Driver knows you + your itinerary. Compare to tour: zero forced shopping stops, you set the pace. Compare to self-drive: legal (foreign driving licenses NOT valid in VN/KH without permit), driver knows traffic + back roads.

Where will the driver meet me?
For airport pickup · driver waits at International Arrivals exit (not curbside · not parking lot). Look for a printed sign with your name + ATL DMC logo. For intercity/private-driver · driver waits at confirmed hotel lobby. For group-coach · meeting point per booking.
How do I pay?
Payment after the transfer · invoice sent via email · pay by credit card (Stripe link), bank transfer, or USD cash on next-day arrangement. No cash at curbside — driver does not handle payment.
Is this cheaper than Grab/taxi?
Often the same or 10-15% more · NOT cheaper. Value vs Grab/taxi: (a) pre-confirmed price (no surge) · (b) English-speaking driver · (c) meet-and-greet sign for airports · (d) WhatsApp Mike if something goes wrong. For solo budget travellers, Grab is fine. For families · group · or anyone tired, ATL pays for itself in stress-removal.
Can I book multiple stops on the way?
Yes — typically airport → hotel + 1 stop is included free if under 15 km detour. Multi-stop tours (airport → restaurant → temple → hotel) book as private-driver service instead · see /transfers/private-driver/.
