Shared Shuttle: Da Nang ↔ Hoi An
Budget-Friendly — Convenient — Door-to-Door
The route from Đà Nẵng to Hội An is approximately 30km, passing through some of the most beautiful coastal roads in Central Vietnam — but without the right transportation, this seemingly short journey can become a headache: overpriced taxis, unreliable buses, and Grab rides that are hard to find during peak hours.
Faifo Express’s Shared Shuttle from Đà Nẵng to Hội An is a solution designed specifically for passengers who need flexible, budget-friendly transportation while still guaranteeing punctuality and comfort. Shuttles depart on fixed schedules daily, with door-to-door pickup and drop-off within the city, at transparent prices — no hidden surcharges.
[!NOTE] The prices below are reference rates under normal conditions. Prices may change during holidays, Tet, or according to the company’s updated policies. Please confirm the exact price when booking.
| Item | Details | Reference Price |
|---|---|---|
| Adult ticket (one-way) | Da Nang → Hoi An or vice versa | 79,000 – 99,000 đ/person |
| Child ticket (under 10 years old) | Sharing seat with parent | Free |
| Child needing own seat | 10 years old and above | Same as adult |
| Standard luggage | Maximum 1 suitcase 20kg + 1 carry-on | Free |
| Excess luggage | Per additional item | 20,000 – 30,000 đ/item |
| Round-trip booking | 2-way combo | Save ~10% |
| Late-night surcharge (22h – 5h) | For special trips | +30,000 đ/person |
[!TIP] Book your return ticket when boarding the outbound shuttle to receive the combo discount — the driver or dispatcher will assist you directly.

Shared shuttles aren’t always the optimal choice — but in the following situations, this is the most practical and reasonable option:
You’re staying in Đà Nẵng and want to visit Hội An’s ancient town in a day without renting a motorbike or waiting for Grab? The fixed-schedule shuttle gives you complete control over your itinerary.
A 7-seater air-conditioned shuttle with more spacious seating than regular taxis — perfect for families of 3–4 people traveling with luggage and children’s belongings.
Need to travel early morning from Đà Nẵng to Hội An for meetings, client visits, or events? The morning shuttle schedule fits this need perfectly.
Many tourists choose Hội An as their main base but need to fly in/out of Đà Nẵng Airport. The shared shuttle is the ideal connection between the airport and the ancient town.
Contact Faifo Express via website, Zalo, or hotline to reserve your seat. Provide: number of passengers, pickup point, drop-off point, preferred time slot, and contact phone number. You’ll receive booking confirmation within 15–30 minutes.
[!NOTE] It’s best to book at least 2–3 hours before departure to guarantee a seat, especially on weekends and during peak tourism season (April–August).
About 30–60 minutes before departure, you’ll receive a text message with: driver’s name, vehicle number, estimated pickup time, and direct contact number. No need to worry about identifying the vehicle — the driver will contact you proactively.
The shuttle picks you up at your specified address within Đà Nẵng city center. The journey to Hội An typically takes 45–60 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The vehicle has air conditioning, complimentary bottled water, and free wifi throughout the trip.
The driver drops you off at your agreed location within Hội An city center (including areas near the ancient town). Payment is made in cash or bank transfer as arranged when booking.
The Da Nang - Hoi An shared ride route travels mainly along the Truong Sa - Vo Nguyen Giap coastal boulevard. This is dubbed the ‘resort road’ with 5-star luxury resorts lined up one after another, the vast ocean waves on one side, and lush green golf courses on the other. Even while sharing the ride with other passengers, you still get to enjoy one of the most beautiful and romantic coastal journeys.
We don’t make unrealistic promises, but we do make specific, verifiable commitments:

The shuttle ticket price includes the following amenities — no additional charges:
| Amenity | Details |
|---|---|
| 🧊 Air Conditioning | Operates throughout the journey |
| 💧 Bottled Water | 1 bottle per person per trip |
| 📶 Free Wifi | Stable connection for messaging and light browsing |
| 👶 Child Seat Support | Book 24 hours in advance, complimentary |
| 🗺️ Local Recommendations | Drivers are happy to suggest restaurants and attractions if you ask |
| 🧳 Luggage Assistance | Driver helps load luggage into the trunk |
[!TIP] If it’s your first time in Hội An and you’re unsure where to eat or what to visit, don’t hesitate to ask the driver — they’re often a more reliable and unbiased source of information than online reviews.
[!NOTE] Central Vietnam, particularly the Quảng Nam – Đà Nẵng region, experiences a prolonged rainy season from September to December. During this period, coastal routes like Nguyễn Tất Thành or roads along the Cổ Cò River may experience localized flooding or congestion after heavy rainfall.
Faifo Express monitors weather and traffic conditions regularly to adjust routes as needed. However, during major typhoons or natural disaster warnings, some trips may be postponed or canceled for safety reasons — passengers should understand and accept this possibility.
[!NOTE] The Hội An ancient town area has regulations restricting motor vehicles during certain hours and on specific routes. The shuttle will drop you off at the nearest accessible point, and you may need to walk an additional 5–10 minutes to reach the center of the ancient town — this is normal and not the driver’s fault.
