Traffic can change quickly by time of day. Avoid cross-city detours during peak windows, keep pickup points clear (main gate/lobby), and add buffer time in rain.Use area clusters: central (lake/Old Quarter) vs west corridor (Cau Giay – My Dinh – Keangnam).Walk inside compact central areas; ride-hailing for longer legs.For multi-stop days, an hourly car can reduce waiting time.
