Bạn vừa hạ cánh tại Sân bay Đà Nẵng (DAD)? 5 mẹo để di chuyển đến Hội An một cách thuận lợi

Landing in a new country after a long flight can be chaotic. Sân bay Quốc tế Đà Nẵng (DAD) is modern and easy to navigate, but for a first-timer, the crowd of taxi drivers and the heat can be overwhelming. Here is my “insider” guide to getting from the plane to your hotel in Hoi An smoothly.

1. The SIM Card & ATM Strategy

After you clear immigration and collect your luggage, you’ll see several kiosks for SIM cards (Viettel or Vinaphone are the best).

Pro Tip: Don’t change all your money at the airport kiosks as the rates are usually lower than in Hoi An town. Just withdraw enough from an ATM for your immediate needs. Most private car drivers in Da Nang accept USD or VND, which is very convenient if you haven’t exchanged money yet.

2. Meeting Your Driver: Terminal 1 vs. Terminal 2

Da Nang Airport has two terminals: Terminal 2 (International) và Terminal 1 (Domestic).

• International Flights: Exit the arrival hall and look for the “Arrival Gate.” It can be crowded!
• Meeting Point: If you’ve pre-booked a car, your driver will be holding a sign with your name. Look for your name carefully before talking to random “taxi” touts.

3. Avoid the “Fake Grab” Scams

A common trick at DAD is drivers approaching you saying, “I am your Grab driver” or “I am from Minh Vu Travel” without actually knowing your name or booking details.

The Solution: Always verify your driver’s name and car plate number via WhatsApp before you get in. At Công ty Du lịch Minh Vũ, we always send our driver’s details and a photo of the meeting point to your WhatsApp 30 minutes before you land.

4. Fixed Price vs. Metered Taxi

Traditional taxis use meters, but traffic can make the price skyrocket. Grab is an option, but the price fluctuates during peak hours and rainy days.

For the best peace of mind, a Pre-booked Private Car with a fixed price is the way to go. You know exactly what you pay before you even leave your home country—no hidden tolls, no airport parking fees.

5. Travel Time: What to Expect

The drive from Da Nang Airport to Hoi An takes about 45 to 60 minutes. The coastal road is beautiful, passing by the Marble Mountains. If you arrive during the day, feel free to ask your driver for a quick 5-minute photo stop at the beach!
