Hoi An to Hue by car takes around 3 hours for a direct transfer, but most travelers prefer the trip with scenic stops along the way. Unlike other transport options, a private car from Hoi An to Hue with a professional driver lets you travel at your own pace while discovering more about local life and Vietnamese culture. You can also ask the driver to stop anytime—whether for photos, lunch, or a cup of Vietnamese coffee—without any extra charge.

Travel Itinerary From Hoi An To Hue By Car
Your day will begin with a friendly driver picking you up from your hotel. Along the way, you’ll visit:
Marble Mountains – A cluster of five marble and limestone mountains, each representing one of the earth’s elements. With Hindu and Buddhist grottoes scattered throughout, the Marble Mountains also reward you with a breathtaking panoramic view of Da Nang from the summit.


Hai Van Pass – Widely regarded as one of the most scenic coastal roads in the world. At its highest point, you’ll enjoy incredible photo opportunities during your Hoi An to Hue private car transfer. (These views are unique to traveling by car—you won’t experience them on a bus or train).


Lang Co Beach – Located just north of Hai Van Pass, Lang Co is a picturesque coastal town with a stunning stretch of sand and clear blue water. Famous for its fresh seafood restaurants and cafes, it has also been named one of the most beautiful bays in the world—and undoubtedly one of the best in Vietnam.


Lap An Lagoon – A peaceful 7,100-hectare lagoon famous for its oyster farms and rich biodiversity. Surrounded by endless mountains, this natural setting is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.


After visiting all these destinations, your friendly and experienced driver will drop you off at your hotel in Hue.
Round Trip Option:
You may also request a round trip from Hoi An to Hue and return on the same day for the same price (simply tick “Round Trip” on the booking form). With this option, you’ll visit Hai Van Pass, Lang Co Beach, and Lap An Lagoon, plus up to three sites in Hue—such as Tu Duc Tomb, Minh Mang Tomb, Khai Dinh Tomb, Hue Citadel, Dong Ba Market, or Thien Mu Pagoda.
After exploring, your driver will drop you off back at your hotel in Hoi An.
Please note:
- Traveling directly without stops is also available.
- Baby seats are available upon request.
- Departure time is flexible, but we recommend leaving early to make the most of your sightseeing.

EXCELLENT Based on 2678 reviews Posted on Dave PVerified Day trip to The Imperial City of Hue We had a lovely day today with Justine (our guide) and the driver, for the trip from Chan May Port to Hue, and the Imperial City. They met us on time, where you said that they would be, the car was clean and the air conditioning worked. They gave us bottled water. Justine explained the day and we set off. Justine queued for the tickets where needed and gave us detailed information at all the sites, not hurrying us along. Justine took lots of pictures of us, and was able to answer questions. The restaurant was lovely, the food very good, and they were aware of our request that my wife is a vegetarian. They even stopped for us to get some toiletries on the way back and he assisted us across a very busy road to the shop. A really good day.Posted on Emil KVerified Can recommend - great experience! Fantastic transfer with Luyt from VM Travel - kind, knowledgable and experienced driver. Kim from the company helped us out a bunch as well - we even got to store our bags at the office while waiting for our train in Hue.Posted on Lisa AVerified Reliable, friendly, all round excellent. Alex was a great driver, lovely to be met by his smiling face at the train station. Sadly a violent tropical storm meant some changes to the plan but he worked hard to keep us dry and away from any hard sell where we stopped.Posted on Pablo MVerified Good experience Alex was super punctual and friendly, drives very quietly and very well, made extra stops to take some photos, highly recommendedPosted on Swati NVerified Exceptional Service – Highly Recommend! I had an excellent experience with VM Travel during my stay in Vietnam. I first contacted them through the chat option on their website and received a quick and helpful response. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating they were. My day trips were tailored entirely around my preferences. Both day tours were reasonably priced, and there were no issues with late drop-offs or pickups from my remote hotel location.A special mention to Mr Top, my driver for both days, who was friendly, professional, and reliable. The office staff, Jena, coordinating everything was equally outstanding — responsive, organised, and genuinely caring.Highly recommend their service for anyone looking for stress-free and pre-set or customised tours in Vietnam!Posted on Jason SVerified Day drive from Hue to My Son, via Hai Van Pass Very careful and excellent driver.
