Diverse types of vehicles
Currently, there are many types of transportation and hundreds of bus companies operating continuously from the city center to Hoi An, giving tourists a wide variety of choices. Many passengers are unsure which bus company is most suitable for them..., however, taxis and ride-hailing services like Grab are also preferred options with travel times of only 45-50 minutes.
However, it's worth noting that the price is quite high, ranging from 320,000 to 350,000 VND for a one-way trip and double that for a round trip. This option has the advantage of being faster and more convenient than coaches or buses. Many tourists often choose ride-hailing services for their Hoi An tours, as they can request to visit various locations, including smaller historical sites hidden in narrow alleys and lanes.
Besides, buses are also a popular choice for many tourists due to their convenience in terms of the number of buses and schedules throughout the day, suitable for solo travelers, groups of friends, families, or even entire companies. A significant advantage is that this mode of transportation is now available through online bus ticket booking platforms like redBus, offering many bus companies such as HM Happy Car, Travel Bus, Barri Ann Travel, and Vietnam Explore, with nearly 50 trips operating daily. Ticket prices range from 150,000 to 210,000 VND, cheaper than ride-hailing services or taxis.
If you're traveling in a large group, renting a tour bus will be more convenient and cost-effective. For 4-5 seater cars, the price ranges from 700,000 to 800,000 VND per day; for 7-seater cars, it's from 900,000 to 1,100,000 VND; and for 29-seater buses, it's from 1,800,000 to 2,200,000 VND per day.
In addition, there is a system of passenger buses operating on the Da Nang - Hoi An route with hundreds of vehicles, such as Hoi An Food Tour, Barri Ann Travel, Cua Ong Bus, HM Happycar, Hanh Cafe - Ha Phuong Limousine, etc. For this type of service, customers can book tickets on the Vexere.com website.
Another option, motorbikes, is also a popular choice among young tourists as it offers flexibility in terms of time, cost savings, and the opportunity to explore beautiful tourist spots along the way. Currently, the cost of renting a motorbike in Da Nang ranges from 80,000 to 120,000 VND per day, depending on whether it's a manual or automatic scooter.
According to Mr. Le Tan Trung, who frequently travels to Hoi An by motorbike, renting a motorbike in Da Nang is very easy. The deposit is about 500,000 VND per motorbike, and you have to fill up the gas yourself. The most important thing is to bring personal identification documents such as a driver's license or citizen's identity card.
Why choose the bus?
Buses are a popular choice for traveling from Da Nang to Hoi An due to their reasonable cost. With fares under 50,000 VND per trip, they are affordable for both tourists and locals, especially those looking to save money while still enjoying convenience. This mode of transportation also contributes to a lower environmental impact compared to private vehicles. Modern buses operate reliably and safely, providing peace of mind for passengers, even foreign tourists unfamiliar with the roads.
According to Deputy Director of the Department of Construction Dang Nam Son, there is currently a bus route from Da Nang to Hoi An (from the Central Bus Station to Cua Dai Bridge with a frequency of 20 minutes/trip). The route starts from the Central Bus Station in Da Nang city, passing through Nam Tran, Ly Thai Tong, Nguyen Tat Thanh, 3 Thang 2, Tran Phu (Da Nang City Administrative Center), Nguyen Van Linh, 2 Thang 9, Tien Son Bridge, Le Van Hien, Tran Dai Nghia, and DT607 to the area of Hoi An city (old) via Nguyen Tat Thanh, Hoi An Bus Station, Ly Thuong Kiet, Tran Nhan Tong, Cua Dai, Au Co, and the Cua Dai Inland Waterway Terminal parking lot.
With a relatively high frequency of buses, averaging every 20 minutes, operating throughout the day, scheduling is easy. Therefore, passengers don't need to worry too much about missing a bus as there are always alternative options nearby. In addition, bus stops are strategically located along main routes, with many stations near the Park & Ride parking area, allowing passengers to easily transfer to other services. This makes travel convenient, cost-effective, and saves the effort of walking or taking a shuttle bus.
Buses are an economical and easy-to-use mode of transportation, but according to the experience of many travelers, to make the journey smoother and more comfortable, it's advisable to keep the following in mind: use Google Maps to track the route, which helps you be more proactive when boarding the bus and eliminates the need to book tickets in advance.
In particular, limit bulky luggage as space on buses is quite limited, and avoid peak hours. Passengers should note that public bus routes do not have fixed night services, so if you need to travel late at night, choose a taxi or ride-hailing service for more flexibility.
