Private SUV or Van from PP to HCMC

Private driver plus SUV or Van from PP to HCMC (Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City), roughly how much would this cost? I know its about 5 hours drive plus border crossing. Car, SUV, Van, any of the above is fine, 1 passenger plus luggage. Doesn't have to be fancy just get from A to B the right way without dying.

How are you going to get through the border? It's closed.

Without dying? Have you noticed the driving style and number of accidents? It is a very, very risky proposition.

I take a long drive in a private car from PP to other places quite routinely. The only way to make it without developing a heart condition is to close your eyes, put in some ear phones and lean back with a prayer.

LOL. Good for you, happy driving. A Saint Christopher or Buddha on the dash would also help.

OP is clearly OK about dying or he would be flying, or taking the big bus.
I've never done that trip by private car. I would guess about $60 to Bavet. Then about $25 to HCMC. I wouldn't fancy the negotiation with the driver on the Vietnam side.Can he do a through journey in the same car?
Besides being safer, those big buses had a good routine at the border, made it easy for the pax.

Well great for the OP, he's clearly got in the spirit of things in a country where it's OK to be dead. I like the bus, though was in a serious accident in one, your chances of survival are much better in any collision.

I have a lot of luggage thats why im looking to take a private vehicle but first im going to the islands then when i come back from that ill go to HCMC if its open. I may also check the cost of an airline but im sure itll be a lot more given the cost of luggage.

Edit just checked airlines are showing some inflated prices $500 to $1000, but in my case luggage is another $500-$700.

If you're coming from the islands, wouldn't you do better crossing the border at Ha Tien?

You can take a lot of luggage on the PP-HCMC big bus btw, just pay a little extra.
