Compare every vehicle on 12Go →Where the buses leave from and arrive
In Huế, tourist buses and limousines pick up at hotels or at their offices in the traveller area south of the Perfume River, around Phạm Ngũ Lão street.
In Hội An, buses stop at the company office or at a drop-off point outside the Old Town, often with a free transfer to your hotel: check the drop-off before you book.
Sleeper, cabin or limousine?
A sleeper bus has three rows of reclining berths on two levels, the cheapest choice for a night ride. A cabin bus gives each passenger (or couple) a closed pod with a curtain or door, a mattress and a charging socket. A limousine is a 9 to 22-seat van with wide leather seats: faster, fewer stops, often with hotel pick-up, but made for daytime trips.
Booking tips
- Leaving Huế, sit on the left for the sea views around the Lăng Cô lagoon before the tunnel.
- Flying out of Đà Nẵng the same day? Ask for a drop-off in Đà Nẵng: most buses drive through the city.
- Bring a light jacket: the air conditioning runs cold all night.
- Shoes come off at the door of sleeper and cabin buses; a bag is handed out for them.
- Keep your passport, phone and cash in a small bag that stays in your berth.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the bus from Hue to Hoi An?
About 3h to 3h 30m, depending on the company, the vehicle and the traffic leaving the city. Limousines are usually the fastest.
How much is the bus from Hue to Hoi An?
From ₫199,000 (≈ $8) per seat one way (the lowest price noted on October 27, 2026, with G8 Sapa Open Tour). The price depends on the vehicle (sleeper, cabin, limousine) and the date.

Not really: the trip is short enough to do in a morning or an afternoon, and most departures run in the daytime.
Can I see the Hải Vân Pass on the way from Huế to Hội An?
Not on a regular bus, which uses the tunnel under the pass. A private car, a motorbike tour with a driver or a jeep tour takes the pass road, with stops at the top and at Lăng Cô, and adds about an hour.
