Practical Experience and Important Tips for Traffic in Da Nang

How to Choose the Right Car Type

Choosing the car type not only affects comfort but also relates to traffic safety:

• 4-seater car (Sedan): Suitable for couples, families of 3, agile when navigating turns
• 7-seater car (SUV): Good for families of 5, with luggage space, easy to maintain
• 16-seater car (Van): For tourist tours, groups of 10-12 people, safe due to professional drivers

SUV cars like Toyota Fortuner or Ford Everest from Faifo Express are equipped with modern safety features, helping reduce the risk of accidents.

Checklist to Check Before Departure

Before starting your journey, make sure to:

• Check documents: Driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance certificate

Common Traffic Fines in Da Nang - Detailed Update 2026

Running a Red Light - Highest Fine

Running a red light is one of the most dangerous violations on the road. Since 2024, the fine has been significantly increased to deter violators.

Fine Levels:

• Fine: 6-8 million đồng
• Driver’s license suspension: 1-3 months (or may not be suspended depending on the situation)
• If causing an accident: fine may double, plus civil liability

Real-world example: A homeless person from Quảng Trị was fined 7 million đồng for running a red light at the Ông Ích Khiêm - Trần Hưng Đạo intersection (Da Nang), and also had their driver’s license suspended for 2 months.

When renting a car from Faifo Express, drivers always wait for the green light before crossing, never running yellow or red lights.

Speeding - Common Issue

Speeding can lead to accidents, especially on winding roads like Ba Na Hills or expressways.

Fines according to violation levels:

Exceeding speed	Fine	Points deducted	License suspension
5-10 km/h	500.000-1.200.000đ (≈$47)	0	No
10-20 km/h	1.000.000-2.400.000đ (≈$94)	1	No
20-30 km/h	2.000.000-3.600.000đ (≈$141)	2	No
Over 30 km/h	3.000.000-6.000.000đ (≈$235)	2	1-3 months

Example: On the Da Nang - Hue route, the speed limit is 80 km/h. If you drive at 100 km/h, you have exceeded by 20 km/h, and will be fined 1-2 million đồng + 1 point deducted.

Faifo Express drivers always drive within the speed limit, so you can rest assured about this issue.

Fine for Not Turning on Headlights at Night

In Da Nang, during the rainy season (September-December), it often gets dark early, and many people forget to turn on their lights.

Fine Levels:

• Not turning on headlights or daytime running lights at night: 100.000-240.000đ (≈$9)ồng
• Not turning on fog lights: 100.000-240.000đ (≈$9)ồng

All Faifo Express cars are meticulously maintained, and the lighting system always works well.

Fine for Parking in Prohibited Areas

In Da Nang, there are many no-parking zones, especially in the city center and Hoi An Ancient Town.

Example: In Hoi An Ancient Town, you are not allowed to park on the sidewalk. If you do, you will be fined 600.000đ (≈$24)ồng or your car will be towed.

When using Faifo Express’s Da Nang tourist car rental service, drivers know the permitted parking areas and will park safely and legally.

Fine for Not Having a Driver’s License (GPLX)

This is a serious violation, not only subject to fines but also potentially criminal prosecution.

Fine Levels:

• No driver’s license: 4.000.000-7.200.000đ (≈$282)ồng + vehicle impoundment for 1-3 months
• Expired driver’s license: 2.000.000-3.600.000đ (≈$141)ồng + vehicle impoundment
• Driver’s license revoked or surrendered: 3.000.000-4.800.000đ (≈$188)ồng

When renting a car from Faifo Express, you only need a valid driver’s license (still in effect), no need to worry about this issue.

Fine for Not Wearing a Helmet (motorbikes, electric bikes)

Although this article focuses on cars, if you use a motorbike to travel in Da Nang, you need to know:
