Sun Travel’s fleet includes a 16-seat vehicle, a good fit when a large family or work group wants to travel together. Below: when one 16-seater beats two smaller cars, what to settle before booking and how narrow pickup points affect it; model names are only examples, and the exact vehicle is confirmed for each booking.
Starting rates only. Sun Travel checks the pickup and drop-off points, itinerary and departure time before confirming the trip. Fuel, road tolls and parking are included in the listed route rate. Waiting at pickup is free for 30 minutes; waiting beyond 1 hour adds US$4. Extra stops need separate confirmation. This is the one-way rate for Da Nang to Hoi An, shown for all three sizes so you can see the 16-seat price against the 4 and 7-seat vehicles. It includes fuel, tolls and parking or gate fees. The return leg and extra stops are quoted and confirmed separately.
When to consider a 16-seat vehicle
- The whole group in one vehicle: to the same place, without splitting into several small vehicles. It suits a group that wants one shared schedule.
- Lots of suitcases and shared items: check them against the space in the specific vehicle, because when it carries many people, luggage space can be limited, so there is no fixed suitcase maximum.
- Compared with splitting into two vehicles: if the group has two drop-off points or a lot of luggage, two smaller vehicles may suit better; dispatch compares the two options when you send the number of people and luggage.

What to settle before booking
- Access to the pickup point: a 16-seat vehicle is larger than a 4 or 7-seat one, so our team checks access in advance for any hotel down a narrow lane or in a restricted zone; the car can drive through the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off, but in the old town the stopping point depends on the rules and the width of the road.
- A list of pickup points: if the group stays in several hotels, send the list and times so that dispatch can order the pickups. We quote extra stops separately.
- A multi-day plan: for several days, see multi-day car hire in central Vietnam; a multi-day plan we quote leg by leg.
Details of the service are on the private car with driver page and the private car rates.

Which model is Sun Travel's 16-seat vehicle?
The fleet includes a 16-seat vehicle; model names are only examples, such as the Ford Transit or Hyundai Solati. The exact vehicle is confirmed for each booking.
What if the group is 15 or 16 people and everyone has a suitcase?
When the vehicle is close to full, suitcase space can be limited. Send the number of people and pieces so dispatch can compare a 16-seat vehicle with splitting into 4 or 7-seat vehicles.
