Quick answer: a Hoi An private car is a pre-booked vehicle with a local driver that takes only your group, door to door, at a price agreed before you travel. In 2026 a one-way ride between Hoi An and Da Nang Airport starts at 250,000 VND (~$10) per car, round trips to My Son or Ba Na Hills start around $24–$26, and a full day with a driver starts at about $46. The price is per vehicle, not per person, and fuel, tolls, parking and waiting time are included.
What is a Hoi An private car?
Unlike a shared shuttle or a metered taxi, a Hoi An private car is booked for your group only. The driver picks you up at your hotel, the airport or the train station, follows the route you agreed, and waits while you visit each stop. You can keep luggage in the car, ask for photo stops along the way and travel at your own pace. For most visitors to Central Vietnam it is the simplest way to cover the 30 km between Hoi An and Da Nang, and the only practical way to combine several sights in one day.

Private car, Grab or taxi?
Grab works well for short rides inside Hoi An town. For airport transfers, early departures, groups with luggage and any trip with several stops, a Hoi An private car is usually cheaper and much less stressful: the price never surges, the driver waits for you, and you are not left looking for a ride back from My Son or Ba Na Hills.
