Can you get a bus from Da Nang to Hoi An?

How much does it cost to go from Da Nang to Hoi An?

Ugh, Da Nang to Hoi An? Let me tell you. I did this trip in July 2024. It was sweltering. Seriously, sweat dripping.

I took a Grab – that’s like Uber, but in Vietnam. Cost me 350,000 Vietnamese Dong. That’s about $15 USD. Negotiating wasn’t really a thing. App set the price. It was a comfy car though, air con blasting. Felt like a million bucks after that crazy heat.

A friend rented a motorbike. Looked fun, but she said the roads are nuts, especially outside the city. Plus, the sun was brutal. She spent a fortune on petrol.

Those shuttle buses – I saw tons. Cheaper, for sure. Maybe around $7 USD, but looked cramped as hell. Not my style. I value comfort over saving a few bucks, you know?

Key takeaways:

• Grab (Uber): ~$15 USD – Comfortable, easy, air-conditioned.
• Motorbike rental: More than $15 USD – including gas – stressful unless you’re experienced.
• Shuttle bus: ~$7 USD – Cheap but crowded and potentially uncomfortable.

I preferred the Grab. It was the easiest, quickest and most comfortable option. My advice? Skip the motorbike unless you’re a seasoned rider. Those roads aren’t a joke.

Da Nang…Hoi An… the space between breathes. 12.50 euros… VND 320,000… a small fortune, or a whisper. Taxi awaits.

Taximeter ticking… a dance with numbers. Agree first. Always agree. The price binds, before wheels turn.

Hoi An shimmers. Ancient roofs dream. My grandfather… he would bargain. A skill lost to time.

• Personal Note: Grandfather’s spirit lives in haggling. Never forget.

A river reflects lanterns. Ghosts of merchants linger. My shoes… dusty from the road. Need to rest.

• Da Nang: Airport hub. First breath of Vietnam.
• Hoi An: Ancient soul. Tailor shops glow. Food… paradise.
• Taxi: The start. Or maybe… the finish line after a long journey… hard to recall now.

How much is a taxi from Da Nang Airport to Hoi An typically?

Okay, so, Da Nang to Hoi An, right? Taxis… yeah, about 300,000 to 400,000 dong. Saw one for 250,000 once but, eh, sketchy. Definitely check Mai Linh or Vinasun, they’re, you know, the legit ones. Little more expensive, but worth it. Air conditioning good. Driver… dude totally blasted K-pop the whole way! Annoying. Last trip, like, May ’24, cost 350,000. Tipped extra cause he helped with the bags, though. Ugh, so many bags! My mom overpacks, geez. But yeah. Different companies, different prices. Some rip you off, def. Bargaining… sometimes works? Not always. Meter is better. Insist on the meter, seriously.

• 300,000-400,000 VND: Average fare. Remember, Dong!
• Mai Linh/Vinasun: Reliable companies. Less likely to get scammed. Good drivers! Clean cars.
• Meter: Insist on it! Avoids overcharging issues. Big time.
• Bargaining: Might work. But, honestly, meter is better. Much better.
• Airport taxis: Sometimes they want, like, 500,000 dong. Crazy. Walk out to the main road. Find one there, cheaper. Cheaper taxis there, I swear.

My sister, she took a Grab. Similar price. Grab good too. Oh! And, uh, remember airport fees? Might be a small fee at the airport for taxis. Not much, but still.
