Why a private car instead of a bus or train
Buses and trains run along this coast, but they leave from the city at fixed times, and you still need transport from the station to your final address. A private car goes from the airport arrivals hall or your hotel straight to the door, with your luggage, and can stop in Hoi An on the way if you want. Add a stop for $4 under 30 minutes or $6 over 30 minutes.
Booking tips
