A nice trip between danang and hue
It was a very good trip from danang to hue. The driver was very professional, his driving was very smooth and he could give some infos during the trip, which is always appreciated. The stops we made were good for photographies and the car is comfortable. You can feel that the company wants to give a good impression of Vietnam to visitors, and the goal is achieved.

Efficient arrangement using whatsapp and wonderful drivers.
Our airport transfer fr Danang Airport to Danang hotel, Ba Na Hills trip, transfer fr Danang to Hue with stop at Son Tra and An Bang Cemetry, Hue day tour of citadel and tombs, transfer fr Hue to Hoi An with stop at Marbles Mountain, were all arranged by Trang, a lovely and efficient lady with quick whatsapp response, even in the midst of her Christmas party. She might not be able to offer you a solution immediately, but she always made an affort to acknowledge you. We a family of 4 with adult children, hired the drivers and a 7 seater suv for all our trips. Note that the company offers tour guide for a fee but we didn't feel that it was necessary. All the drivers were on time and drove safely. Our driver Nguyen for the Ba Na Hills trip spoke very little English but it wasn't a problem for us for this particular trip as he communicated adequately. Moreover, Trang was just a whatsapp away :)Special mention goes to Luyt who drove us for the rest of the trips. He spoke decent English and filled us up with interesting information along the way in a very relaxed manner when we asked him. We enjoyed our rides and interaction with him, very plesant indeed!

Da Nang to Hue - 1 day trip
On short notice was looking for a Hue private driver and tour from Da Nang. I found Explore Vietnam on Google and started arranging my Hue plans for the next day on WhatsApp. They were super responsive, prices were fair and comparable to what my hotel was offering. My expectation was someone who can drive me there and be fluent in English to talk a bit about the places I'm going to. My places of interest were Hai Van Pass, Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, Kai Dinh Tomb and Dong Ba Market. My driver for the day was Tung, his english was quite basic and not conversational but that was the only drawback out of many positives. He arrived early and was patient while I was finishing up my breakfast in my hotel. He was a really safe driver. Had no issues making bathroom pitstops and I even had a TP situation which he helped me with. He drove me to all the places on my list and even some surprise lunch spots he wasn't aware of. Also stopped on a scenic point on the Hai Van Pass to Hue and took a great photo of my wife and I.Tung is super nice, courteous, and his service exceeded my expectations even with the language drawback. Two thumbs up, all the best Tung!

Great, comfortable drive from Hue to Da Nang
Tri was excellent and made our trip very comfortable. He was knowledgeable about the country and provided fun, interesting factoids during the drive. The car was super comfy and I absolutely loved how safe and carefully he drove! Great experience, would recommend.

Not really what we were expecting
I contacted the company on WhatsApp and they gave me a slightly more expensive price than their competitor, but they showed that they had a new fleet so I decided to choose them. The fleet was newer, but not really what we were expecting. We had expected a Toyota Fortuner, but we instead got a Mitsubishi Xpander, which was smaller but spotless, and the driver was professional and safe, but he spoke no English at all. The air conditioning in the car didn't really work that well which is surprising as I have a similar Mitsubishi in Thailand which has absolutely freezing air conditioning. That wasn't a super comfortable ride to be honest. Considering they were more expensive than the competition and they provided a smaller car than we were expecting, I believe the score is a fair reflection of my experience with them. Unfortunately, I would not recommend them to those visiting Da Nang.

Ask for a route map not to get surprises. They didn't give good explanations not rectify. Only response was there were other opt
We booked a transfer from Hoi An to Hungary and the driver was a fine young man so there was no problem. But the transfer was supposed to make four stops and we paid for it. The first three stops were very shorts because of the rain, but the 4th was supposed to be in a fisherman village and it was not. I talked to the owner and he said that there were hundreds of boats and there were just a dozen of them, old and small. He didn't want us to bring us to the fisherman place but just stopped on the roadside to see that pitiful panorama. He didn't want to rectify so we only saw that

Trip to Hue
We took a trip to Hue with VM travel/cars and visited places like the Imperial City. We were in contact with Benz. First by email and then in person. He was really nice and attentive. During the trip we had Cong as our tour guide. His knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture is impressive. He also took very good care of the group and kept a friendly atmosphere throughout the trip.I highly recommend traveling with this agency!

Excellent and Reliable Service
We were nervous to travel after COVID but this experience with VM Cars helped us feel so much more comfortable! The correspondence to book was very easy. They were able to reschedule our booking due to some travel delays. Our driver was on time to pick us up in Hue. He wore a mask the whole time. We went to Bana Hills and he waited where he said he would the whole time for us to experience it. Then, we were off to Hoi An. Everything went without a glitch and we were happy to be able to have reliable service. We highly recommend!

Overall a good service
We used VM Cars for three days of our trip to Da Nang. The scheduling process was pretty seamless. All of our drivers were friendly and on time. My only complaint is that it was hard to figure out which was our car/driver because none of the cars were marked and the drivers didn't have a uniform of any sort. I suggest that they text customers the license plate before the driver arrives for confirmation and safety reasons. Otherwise, I was pretty happy with the service and would recommend!
We booked a private car from Hue to Hoi An with VM Car and were very happy with the great service provided by our driver Nick. Nick arrived 15 – 20 mins prior to departure and was very friendly and chatty, with good english.

Used this company to transfer from Hue to Hoi An. Driver was Johnny, who was excellent. Prompt 8 am pickup; good driver. Johnny’s english was very good and he was also happy to answer my questions along the way. $US 74 one way. We stopped at Tam Giang Lagoon, Lang Co beach, Hai Van Pass, My Khe Beach and Marble Mountain. A little less than 6.5 hours with multiple stops along the way. Also easy to book using the chat option on their website.

I and my wife booked service transfer Hue to Hoi An by car. The driver (Mr Truong) was friendly, polite and safe. Truong suggested to stop and take photos whenever he saw me trying to snap a photo out the window. We were able to visit Hai Van Pass, Marble Mountains and stop for coffee at the Lap An Lagoon – all of which were wonderful to see. We highly recommend the service and driver Truong of this company.

Private car is the best way to travel from Hue to Hoi An. You will visit so many great places. The best place is Marble Mountain. Should take your time and visit all caves there. They are wonderful. Our driver Anthony showed us the best coffee in the Vietnam and told us a lot about areas around. The car was very comfortable and even had high speed Wifi. I highly recommend Anthony and driver.

We booked a private car to take us from Hue to Hoi An ancient town through the Hai Van Pass. Our driver Nick Nguyen was on time, gave us loads of information on the area and most if all was a very safe driver! This road is dangerous and we saw some near accidents. Nick stopped off at all the main points for us on the way including Marble Mountain and Lang Co beach.

Interesting trip from Hue to Hoi An ancient. Organised it by email and the car arrived on time and charged the amount accepted. The driver was careful and we felt safe although with 2 sons who are over 1m60 a van or a larger car might have made the trip more comfortable. The driver really made the journey, was fascinating and we felt that we had learned a lot about recent history and the areas we were driving past. He listened to our needs and made the whole trip (very long trip) more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this as an ideal way to get from Hue to Hoi An ancient town and see few of this beautiful country.

My boyfriend and I used Hue to Hoi An transfer of VM Car. For me, it was the praiseworthy service of VM Car. They offered Nick as our driver with spoken English. He was an experienced driver. Therefore, he drove very safely. In addition, it was very kind of him to give us an enormous amount of information about the tourist attractions on the way. Apart from places in the itinerary, we visited Ba Na Hill at our further request because of the fact that we had much quality time and it was easy for us to access. The view of Ba Na Hill was so beautiful and spectacular. Especially, the weather was very nice, pleasant, a little foggy and spring-like. Moreover, it was not as hot as Danang. To be honest, I would like to thank the staff of VM Car for recommending me to the fascinating tourist destinations and providing me with an excellent tour. You are so wonderful!

Great way to transfer from Hoi An to Hue (or vice versa). Compared to a normal transfer, the price was not higher and we got so much more out of it. Our driver Thang Cao was really friendly and knowledgeable and a safe driver. Thang was very open to doing spontaneous stops on the way, and he took us to a good local food place that we would never have come to if it wasn’t for Thang. Add to that, all the stops on the way were very interesting including some amazing viewpoints.
All in all, a great way to transfer between Hoi An and Hue. Highly recommendable. Thank you Thang Cao!
