Hoi An to Hue Car Rental: Direct Route & Prices

Many tourists traveling to Central Vietnam often choose to stay in Hoi An ancient town for a few days, then wish to travel directly to the ancient capital of Hue. Instead of having to take a taxi back to Da Nang Airport to catch a bus or train to Hue, the smartest and most time-saving solution is to rent a private car directly from Hoi An to Hue.

Faifo Express’s all-inclusive inter-provincial car rental service perfectly meets this need, offering you a comfortable and experience-rich road trip.

1. Hoi An to Hue Journey: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

If you choose to travel by private car, the 120km journey connecting two World Heritage Sites is not just a boring transfer, but truly a sightseeing tour of some of Central Vietnam’s most beautiful landscapes.

Avoid entering Da Nang city center to prevent traffic jams

From Hoi An, the driver will travel along the Trường Sa - Võ Nguyên Giáp coastal road, hugging the beautiful Mỹ Khê beach. The car will not go straight into the crowded Da Nang city center, saving at least 30 minutes of traffic. You can still admire Sơn Trà Peninsula and the beach from the car.

Freedom to stop for sightseeing

This is the biggest “privilege” when you travel by private car. On the way to Hue, you can ask the driver to stop at the following points without worrying about time:

• Đèo Hải Vân (Hải Vân Quan): The most majestic pass in the world. The winding pass road, with clouds covering the mountainsides. From the top of the pass, you can take in the panoramic view of Lăng Cô Bay to the North and Da Nang city to the South. (Note: If you want to take the pass road instead of the tunnel, you need to inform the car rental company in advance to agree on a fuel surcharge of about 120.000đ (≈$5)).
• Vịnh Lăng Cô: Home to pristine white sand beaches and fresh seafood restaurants right on Đầm Lập An.
• Phá Tam Giang: Witness the sunset over Southeast Asia’s largest lagoon system.

2. Hoi An to Hue Car Rental Price List (Updated 2026)

Faifo Express’s car rental prices have been standardized to offer the best rates in the market. Prices include: Driver’s salary, fuel, toll fees, and Hải Vân Tunnel ticket.

Why is the price from Hoi An to Hue more expensive than Da Nang to Hue? Because the distance from Hoi An to Da Nang is already 30km. A car from Hoi An to Hue will have to cover a longer journey, consuming more fuel and driver’s time.

3. Which car is best for Hoi An – Hue?

The road to Hue is beautiful but has many hilly sections and some parts are under construction in Thừa Thiên Hue province. To be in the best condition when arriving at the ancient capital to visit Đại Nội, tombs, you should prioritize comfort.

• 1 - 3 people (Small luggage): Choose a 4-seater car (Sedan). Compact, smooth ride, strong air conditioning.
• 4 - 5 people (Lots of large luggage): The number 1 choice is a high-clearance 7-seater SUV (Toyota Fortuner, Ford Everest). Excellent for Đèo Hải Vân, no ear pressure or motion sickness thanks to its good suspension system.
• Luxury space requirement (VIP): Large families with elderly members should rent a Kia Carnival. This is a land jet that offers comfort comparable to a business class cabin. Even over hilly terrain, you can sleep soundly.

4. Why You Shouldn’t Hail a Taxi on the Road?

Many tourists tend to just go out and hail a taxi for speed. Our sincere advice is: Absolutely not!

• Extremely high meter fees: Traditional taxis charge by the meter. The 120km journey from Hoi An to Hue will cost you no less than 3.000.000đ (≈$118). Not to mention, if you stop to take photos on the pass, the waiting time meter will still run.
• Hidden surcharges: Some taxi drivers will make you pay out of pocket for Hải Vân Tunnel tickets (about 132.000đ (≈$5)/way) and toll fees.
• With Faifo Express’s contracted cars, the price is the fixed initial price. No running meter, no surcharges.
