The Vietnamese version is produced in HCMC with a simple format which enables contestants of all ages to take part.

From thousands of cabs in the city, there will be one special taxi - the Cash Cab which looks like any other cab but the only difference is it has a led light system above the passenger’s seat.

This system will be lighted whenever contestants get into the cab or when they give right or wrong answers. Anyone or any group who grab the taxi by chance are given a golden opportunity to become a contestant on the program.

The contestant(s) will be greeted by popular comedian Hieu Hien who is the driver/Cash Cab host. Contestant(s) will have to answer some questions from the host on their ride, gaining cash prizes for every correct answer. For three wrong answers the contestant(s) need to leave the cab. During the challenge, there are lifelines including asking a relative or someone passing on the street.

The program will be shown every Friday night and is co-organized by HCMC Television and BHD with vehicle sponsor Vinasun Taxi. Cash Cab was created in 2007 by Adam Wood in the U.K. and has been produced in 39 countries.
