다낭 공항에서 시내까지: 5가지 이동 수단 요금 비교 (2026)
Da Nang International Airport (DAD) sits inside the city — 3 to 5 km from the Hai Chau centre and 6 to 7 km from My Khe beach. Because it is so close, you have plenty of options and the price gap between them is small. Here is the honest comparison.
Quick comparison
| Option | To Hai Chau | Good | Bad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked car | fixed, from 120,000₫ | Met in arrivals, price known, waits if you are late | Needs booking ahead |
| Metered taxi | 100,000–150,000₫ + 15,000₫ airport fee | Always there, no booking | Price unknown up front, sometimes a queue |
| Grab | 90,000–140,000₫ | Cheapest off-peak, price shown in app | Surge pricing, few drivers late at night, separate pickup point |
| Rented motorbike | 100,000–180,000₫/day | Freedom for the whole trip | Awkward straight off a flight with suitcases |
| City bus | ~10,000₫ | Cheapest | No dedicated airport line, poor with luggage |
When booking ahead is worth it
- Night arrivals after 23:00 — few Grab drivers, surge pricing, taxi queues
- Travelling with children or older relatives — no waiting, no dragging cases to a pickup point
- Groups of three or more — usually cheaper than two Grabs
- Going straight to Hoi An or Ba Na Hills — a longer leg where a fixed fare saves you negotiating after a long flight
Where to meet your ride — the part that confuses people
Da Nang has an international terminal (T2) and a domestic one (T1) side by side. Taxis wait right outside the exit. Grab and other ride-hailing cars use a separate pickup area that you walk to following signs — which costs most people 5 to 10 minutes of wandering right after landing.
A pre-booked driver stands at the arrivals exit with your name on a board, and you get their phone number before you land, so you can call the moment your phone is on.
Straight on to Hoi An, Ba Na Hills or Hue?
Plenty of visitors land and go directly, skipping the city. These legs have fixed per-route fares:
- Da Nang airport to Hoi An — about 30 km
- Da Nang airport to Ba Na Hills — about 25 km
- Da Nang airport to Hue — about 100 km through the Hai Van tunnel
- Da Nang airport to the city centre — the shortest leg

FAQ
How far is Da Nang airport from the city, and how long does it take?
About 3–5 km to the Hai Chau district — 10 to 15 minutes. My Khe beach is around 6–7 km, 15 to 20 minutes. It is one of the closest airports to a city centre in Vietnam.
How much is a taxi from Da Nang airport?
A metered taxi runs about 100,000–150,000₫ to Hai Chau and 150,000–200,000₫ to My Khe, plus a 15,000₫ airport access fee. A pre-booked transfer has a fixed fare from 120,000₫, so there is nothing to negotiate.
What about a late-night arrival?
For flights landing after 23:00, book ahead. Grab has few drivers at that hour and surge pricing applies; taxis exist but you queue. A pre-booked car waits in arrivals with your name on a board, and delays of up to about 60 minutes carry no surcharge.
Is there an airport bus in Da Nang?
There is no dedicated airport bus line the way many cities have. A few city routes pass nearby, but you have to walk out to the main road and it is awkward with luggage — in practice very few visitors use it.
