Taxi and ride-hailing options

For a rideshare, go from the arrivals exit toward pillar No. 07 and the designated pickup area in front of the glass building at the car park. Select the correct terminal in your booking, then check the vehicle and driver details in the app before getting in. The airport identifies Grab, GoJek and SM Green Taxi as rideshare apps.
If you are unsure where to go after landing, follow the airport signs for your terminal and pickup area. Airport transport arrangements can change, so check the official site before you go.
Private transfers and other transport
Public buses serve the airport, with stops outside both terminals. Routes 12 and 06 run daily from 05:30 to 19:00. Route 12 has a one-way fare of 8,000 VND.
Route 06 costs 15,000 VND for up to half the route or 22,000 VND for the full route; students pay 8,000 VND, while children under 6 and other eligible beneficiaries travel free under applicable regulations.
Hai Van Bus runs between Hoi An’s Cua Dai Parking Lot and the airport via 497 Hai Ba Trung, Truong Sa, Vo Nguyen Giap and Nguyen Van Thoai. It operates daily from 07:30–16:00, and the fare is 120,000 VND per trip. The airport estimates bus waiting times at 5–30 minutes.
For routes 12, 06 and Hai Van Bus, look for the stop at pillar No. 2 outside T1 arrivals or pillars No. 7 and 8 outside T2 arrivals. Check the destination and route before boarding, especially if you are continuing beyond the airport area.
How long does the journey to the city centre take?
From the airport, the drive to the Danang Han River Hotel is estimated at about 22 minutes. The airport also describes a walking route via Duy Tan or Nguyen Van Linh roads, estimating about 40 minutes from the Han River area and more than an hour from the nearest beaches.
Those walking estimates refer to different starting areas, so they are not a single airport-to-city-centre time. If you plan to walk, the route through central Da Nang can help you plan your time, and allow for the longer estimate when starting from the beach area.
Planning an arrival at the hotel
Before choosing a ride, confirm whether you are arriving at T1 or T2. For a taxi, use the authorized pickup at pillar No.
07 and the second car lane; for a rideshare, use the designated area by the car park and verify the vehicle in the app. For a bus, match your terminal to the stop and check that the service is running during your arrival window.
