CarRental Vietnam editorial teamTicket prices, opening hours and coordinates checked · Updated 30 Sep 2026

Overview

Da Nang and Hoi An suit a 3–4 day trip because the sights fall into clear clusters. Central Da Nang is handy for My Khe beach, the Son Tra peninsula, the Marble Mountains and Ba Na Hills. Hoi An is best in the late afternoon and evening; with extra time, spend half a day at the My Son sanctuary. A private car with driver lets you set pickup times, stops and luggage when combining several places in one day.

Best time to visitFebruary to August is usually good for beach plans and outdoor sightseeing. The central Vietnam rainy season can disrupt travel, especially to Son Tra, Ba Na and My Son; check the weather close to your travel date.

Getting thereDa Nang International Airport is close to the city centre. Da Nang to Hoi An usually takes about 45–75 minutes depending on pickup point and traffic; My Son takes longer as it lies to the west of former Quang Nam. For groups, fix the order of stops beforehand to avoid doubling back.

Good to know

Give Ba Na Hills or My Son a day of their own, as travel and sightseeing take a long time.
Hoi An Old Town is busier in the evening; agree on the pickup and drop-off point beforehand, as some streets restrict vehicles in the centre.
Visit Son Tra and coastal spots early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the strongest sun.
If you have a lot of luggage for an airport pickup, tell us the number of passengers and suitcases so we can choose the right car.
Opening hours, ticket prices and weather can change; check directly with each site before your trip.
