Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Chan May
Yes, and many travelers do. The most popular combination is Hue and Da Nang, or Da Nang and Hoi An, since the distances between them are manageable. Pairing Hue and Hoi An in one day is ambitious but doable if you get an early start and keep each stop focused. With a private transfer, your driver can adjust the route and pacing to suit how your day is unfolding, which makes multi-stop itineraries far less stressful than trying to coordinate public transport or fixed tours.
Hue warrants at least four to five hours to do justice to the Citadel, one or two royal tombs, and a walk through the old city. Hoi An rewards slower exploration — three to four hours lets you cover the Ancient Town, a market visit, and time on the waterfront. Da Nang is more compact and can be experienced in two to three hours, making it a practical addition if you are combining destinations in a single day.
Independent day trips from cruise ports in Vietnam are common and well-established. The key consideration is reliability: you need a driver who understands port schedules and will have you back at the pier with time to spare. Daytrip drivers are vetted professionals familiar with cruise port logistics, and your itinerary and return time are agreed upon in advance. Many travelers find independent transfers more flexible and better value than ship-organized excursions, without sacrificing peace of mind.
Chan May is a deep-water port in central Vietnam, positioned roughly midway between three of the country's most celebrated destinations: Hue, Hoi An, and Da Nang. Its significance is geographic — it serves as the gateway to an extraordinarily rich cultural corridor. Cruise passengers stop here not for Chan May itself, but for what surrounds it: a UNESCO World Heritage city, an ancient trading port, and a modern coastal hub, all within a few hours' drive.
A private transfer is the most practical option from Chan May. The port has no rail connection, and public buses require transfers and significant extra time — a serious concern when your ship has a fixed departure. A private driver picks you up directly at the pier, takes you to your chosen destination, and returns you before your ship leaves. There are no timetables to match, no shared coaches to wait for, and no ambiguity about when you need to leave.
It depends on what you value most. Hue, approximately 50 km (31 miles) away, offers the Imperial Citadel, royal tombs, and a slower, more contemplative pace. Hoi An, around 90 km (56 miles) south, delivers lantern-lit streets, tailors, and riverside charm. Da Nang, about 30 km (19 miles) away, suits travelers who want beaches, the Marble Mountains, or the famous Dragon Bridge. If you only have one day, Hoi An and Hue are the most immersive choices — but combining two destinations is entirely realistic with a private transfer.
So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
