This guide is a practical checklist for travelers who already know they want a private airport transfer and just need to book it correctly. It explains what information to send, why the exact flight number matters, how to choose the right vehicle, where the driver waits at Da Nang Airport, what happens if your flight is delayed, and when to mention luggage, child seats or sightseeing stops.

What information to send before booking
A private airport pickup works best when the driver and booking team have the exact arrival details in advance. The most important detail is the correct flight number. This avoids mistakes with flight delays, terminal pickup, luggage space, or hotel names that sound similar.
1. Flight number
Send the exact airline code and flight number, for example VN123, SQ172, AK642, or similar. Do not send only the airline name or only the landing time. This allows Minh Vu Travel to follow your flight on radar and adjust pickup timing if the flight lands late.
2. Arrival date and time
Use the local arrival time shown on your ticket. For international arrivals, many passengers need about one hour after landing to finish immigration, collect luggage and reach the exit gate. If your flight lands after 22:00, mention it clearly so the correct night pickup plan can be confirmed.
3. Passenger name and WhatsApp
The passenger name is used for the welcome board. Your WhatsApp number helps the booking team contact you quickly if there is any update at the airport. If you cannot see the driver at the exit, message or call the same WhatsApp number for support.
4. Hotel name and address
Hoi An has many hotels, villas, beach resorts, and homestays with similar names. Sending the full hotel name or Google Maps link helps the driver drop you at the right place.
5. Passengers and luggage
Tell us how many adults, children, large suitcases, cabin bags, strollers, golf bags, or oversized items you have. This is the most important detail for choosing the right car.
6. Special requests
Child seat, extra stop, late-night pickup, premium vehicle, or a larger van should be requested before the trip so the price and vehicle can be confirmed clearly. Baby seats are available with an extra fee and should be requested in advance.
How to choose the right vehicle
The best vehicle is not only based on the number of passengers. Luggage matters just as much, especially after an international flight. A small car may be enough for two people with light bags, but it can feel uncomfortable if you have several large suitcases.
In daily airport transfers, a common mistake is booking the smallest car based only on passenger count. For example, four people with large suitcases should choose a 7-seat car. Five people with luggage should usually book a 16-seat van, not a 7-seat car.
What happens at Da Nang Airport?
Da Nang Airport is easy to use because each terminal has one main arrival exit. After immigration and baggage claim, you walk toward the exit gate. Your driver normally waits in front of this gate holding a welcome board with your name.
Before landing
Your booking is already confirmed. The driver has your flight number, passenger name, destination hotel, vehicle type, and luggage information.
After baggage claim
Walk toward the main arrival exit. Each terminal at Da Nang Airport has one main exit for arriving passengers. Look for your name board near this point.
Meeting the driver
The driver helps with luggage and takes you to the car park. The vehicle is private for your group only, not shared with other passengers.
Going to Hoi An
The normal journey takes around 45–60 minutes depending on traffic and your exact hotel location in Hoi An.
What happens if your flight is delayed?
Flight delays are common, especially on international connections. With Minh Vu Travel, your flight is followed on radar. If the landing time changes, the driver adjusts and still waits for you at the airport.
If your airline changes the flight number or arrival date, send an update on WhatsApp as soon as possible. But if the same flight simply lands later than scheduled, the driver can track it.
Fixed prices and what is included
Minh Vu Travel uses a fixed per-vehicle price for the direct airport transfer from Da Nang Airport to Hoi An. The price is per car, not per person.
Standard price includes airport pickup, driver, fuel, basic airport access/parking, luggage, flight tracking, and hotel drop-off in Hoi An. For pickups from 22:00 to 05:00, night surcharge applies: +50,000 VND for 4-seat or 7-seat cars, and +100,000 VND for a 16-seat van.
- No deposit is normally required for a standard airport transfer.
- You can pay the driver after the trip by cash.
- The agreed price is confirmed before arrival.
- If you want a premium vehicle, the price is quoted separately based on availability and a deposit may be required.
When to mention sightseeing stops
A direct airport transfer means going straight from Da Nang Airport to your hotel in Hoi An. If you want to stop at Marble Mountains, My Khe Beach, a coffee shop, or another place on the way, mention it before booking.
This is important because a trip with sightseeing stops uses more time than a normal transfer. The vehicle, waiting time, and total price should be confirmed in advance so there is no confusion on arrival.

Travel tips for first-time visitors
Keep WhatsApp available
A local SIM or eSIM helps, but if you already confirmed your driver and name board, you can also connect to airport Wi-Fi if needed.
Exchange only a small amount at the airport
You can exchange money at Da Nang International Airport, but the rate is usually not the best. If needed, exchange only a small amount first and change more later in town.
Keep valuables with you
Luggage is safe in the car during the transfer, but passports, wallet, phone, camera, and travel documents should stay with you.
Use the hotel name carefully
Many Hoi An accommodation names are similar. A Google Maps link is more reliable than only typing the hotel name.
Ancient Town drop-off
Some streets inside Hoi An Ancient Town are pedestrian-only at certain times. If your hotel is inside the walking area, the driver will drop you at the nearest point where cars can stop.
Choose comfort over the smallest car
After a flight, extra space is worth it. If luggage is tight, choose a bigger vehicle instead of forcing everything into a small car.
