Walk out of arrivals, find your name on a sign, and be at your Hoi An hotel about 45 minutes later. The price is fixed before you fly, and you pay the driver when you get there.
Da Nang International Airport (DAD) is the airport for Hoi An. There's no airport in Hoi An itself. The airport sits right inside Da Nang city, and Hoi An's old town is about 30 km to the south, so the drive takes around 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and where your hotel is.
Most of the way you follow the coast road: beach resorts on one side, the Marble Mountains on the other, then rice fields as you come into Hoi An. If you land late, it's a quiet, easy drive. If you land in the afternoon, it's a nice first look at the country.
One thing that confuses people: since July 2025, Hoi An has officially been part of Da Nang city. If your hotel address says "Da Nang" but you booked Hoi An, nothing is wrong. Our Hoi An or Da Nang guide explains the difference, and helps if you're still deciding where to stay.
Includes An Bang, Cam Thanh and Cua Dai. Staying in Da Nang instead? Same price, see airport pickup.
All three work. Which one suits you depends on how you like your first hour to go.

About 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic and where your hotel is. Hoi An's old town is roughly 30 km south of the airport, along the coast road.
$35 for a car with 1 to 3 guests, or $50 for a van with 4 to 8 guests. The Landing Kit, which adds a SIM or eSIM and our First 24 Hours card, is $55 or $80. The price is fixed before you fly and covers any hotel in Hoi An, including An Bang, Cam Thanh and Cua Dai.
An app ride such as Grab or Green SM costs less. A private transfer is for when you'd rather walk out to your name on a sign, with a price agreed in advance, a driver who tracks your flight and someone to message if anything changes.
In cash, to your driver, when you reach your hotel. Vietnamese dong or US dollars are both fine. Nothing is charged online. If you'd rather pay ahead, ask us for a PayPal link.
Some streets in the old town are closed to cars. Tell us your hotel when you book and we'll tell you where the car can stop. Your driver will help you with your bags.
