Da Nang to Hoi An at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Distance:<\/strong> about 30 km from central Da Nang or Da Nang International Airport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Time:<\/strong> about 40\u201345 minutes by car, a little longer at rush hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Easiest option:<\/strong> Grab (car), booked in the app with the price shown before you ride.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Best stop on the way:<\/strong> An Bang Beach, about 4 km before Hoi An Old Town.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Option 1: Grab \u2013 the simplest choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Grab works in both cities and at the airport. You see the price before you book, pay in the app or in cash, and the driver follows the map, so there is no haggling. Choose a larger car if you have big suitcases or a group of four or more. If you want to stop at An Bang Beach first, simply set the beach (or our restaurant on Google Maps) as your destination, then book a second short ride into the Old Town later \u2013 it’s about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Option 2: Metered taxi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Metered taxis wait outside the airport and are easy to find in Da Nang. Use a well-known company, make sure the meter is switched on, and have the address of your hotel ready on your phone. Taxis are handy if your phone has no data yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Option 3: Private car or hotel transfer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many Hoi An hotels can send a driver to the airport, and private car companies offer fixed-price transfers. This is the most relaxed option for families, late-night arrivals and anyone who wants to make a stop \u2013 ask in advance whether a beach stop at An Bang is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why stop at An Bang Beach on the way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An Bang sits just north of Hoi An, close to the route most drivers take. Instead of going straight to the hotel, many of our guests stop for a swim and a long seafood lunch, then check in later in the afternoon. It’s also a perfect last stop before an evening flight. Our An Bang Beach guide<\/a> explains when to swim and what the sunset really looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Guests](\"https:\/\/namgiaseafood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/nam-gia-beachfront-terrace-an-bang.webp\")
