Transportation in Da Nang

Use ride-hailing apps — Grab, Xanh SM, Maxim or InDrive — for city trips. The airport has a Grab station a few metres outside the exit, and a ride to My An (where most nomads stay) is usually around $5. For long distances, local taxi companies and InDrive are far cheaper than Grab.

Within the city (including the airport)

Avoid

Random taxi drivers outside the airport and around the city — even when they wear Grab jackets and helmets, some may be scammers.

Always order Grab or another local app such as Xanh SM, Maxim or InDrive. The airport has a Grab station a few metres outside the exit; pricing to My An, where most nomads stay, is usually around $5.

Long-distance trips

  • Avoid Grab for long distances: $15–50 per trip.
  • Local taxi companies: $1–6 per trip depending on the car and number of passengers.
  • InDrive also works well for long distance (Da Nang – Hoi An / Ba Na Hills / Hue).
