Sun Travel’s rate table has three private-car entries for Ba Na Hills: about 35 km and 45 minutes from Da Nang, about 35 km and 50 minutes from Da Nang Airport, and about 55 km and 1 hour 12 minutes from Hoi An. Rates are per vehicle, not per person, so the figure worth comparing is the rate divided by the number of people in your group. This guide explains what the rate covers, what sits outside it, and how to state your return time so the quote for the way back is accurate.
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 time and extra stops need separate confirmation. This rate applies to the Da Nang to Ba Na Hills direction. It includes fuel, road tolls and parking fees on the listed route. Waiting time while you are on the mountain and the return leg are confirmed for each trip.
The three Ba Na routes in the rate table
| Pickup (one way) | Distance and time in the rate table | Route page |
|---|---|---|
| Central Da Nang | about 35 km, 45 minutes | private car from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills |
| Da Nang Airport | about 35 km, 50 minutes | private car from Da Nang Airport to Ba Na Hills |
| Hoi An | about 55 km, 1 hour 12 minutes | private car from Hoi An to Ba Na Hills |
These are one-way entries, and dispatch needs to confirm them again for your travel date. Hoi An is about 20 km longer than Da Nang (55 minus 35), and the airport is 5 minutes slower than the city centre (50 minus 45). Because each entry is a single direction, a same-day round trip is not simply a doubled entry: the return leg and the waiting time are set out in the quote.
What the rate covers and what sits outside it
- In the base rate: fuel, road tolls and parking fees on the listed route.
- Not in the vehicle rate: the park entrance and cable car tickets. According to public travel sources (checked on 3 October 2026), Sun World Ba Na Hills opens roughly 8:00 to 22:00 and the hours can change, so check hours and ticket prices on the operator’s official channel before you travel. This guide does not quote ticket prices because they vary by ticket type and date.
- Not included automatically: time the car waits while you are on the mountain, the return leg and extra stops. These are stated in the quote or trip confirmation.
Choose the vehicle size first, then divide the rate by your group
The 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle is chosen by the number of passengers and the number and size of the bags. For Ba Na, count the things that are easy to forget: a stroller, warm jackets for children, shopping bags from the mountain. The exact vehicle, including the model, is confirmed for each trip, and the rate shown is by vehicle size, not by model.
A simple way to compare: divide the rate for the right vehicle size by your real headcount, then set it beside the price and travel time of the alternative. Because the rate is per vehicle, the per-person figure depends entirely on how many people are travelling. If you are only one or two people, also read how to get to Ba Na Hills from Da Nang compared before deciding.
State your return time so the way back is quoted correctly
How long you stay on the mountain is your decision, not the car’s. Send the time you plan to go up and the time you expect to come down, plus the drop-off point (a hotel in Da Nang or in Hoi An). If you want the car to wait at the foot of the mountain, dispatch will set out how waiting time is counted in the quote. If your group would rather continue to Hoi An than return to Da Nang, see the Da Nang, Ba Na and Hoi An day car tour and the Golden Bridge visitor guide to plan the day.
What to send for a quote
- The pickup point: a hotel address, the airport or Hoi An; cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off.
- The date, the time you want to leave and the time you expect to come down.
- The number of passengers, the number of suitcases or bags, and the 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle.
- The drop-off after you come down, and whether you want the car to wait at the foot of the mountain.
Common questions about the cost of a car to Ba Na Hills
Does the Ba Na Hills car rate include cable car tickets?
No. The base rate is for a private car with a driver and covers fuel, road tolls and parking. The park entrance and cable car tickets are charged separately by the operator, so check prices and hours on the official channel before you travel.
Is a car to Ba Na Hills from Hoi An more expensive than from Da Nang?
The rate table prices each route separately. Hoi An to Ba Na Hills is listed at about 55 km, roughly 20 km longer than the route from Da Nang (about 35 km), so read the rate box for your own pickup point instead of inferring it from another route.
Will the car wait for me at the foot of the mountain while I am on Ba Na?
It can be arranged, but waiting time and the return leg are not part of a one-way rate. Send the time you plan to go up and the time you expect to come down so dispatch can set out how it is counted in the quote.
Which vehicle size suits a family with a stroller going to Ba Na?
The vehicle size is chosen by the number of passengers and the number and size of the bags. Count the stroller and the children's bags when you send the request, then let dispatch confirm the size and the exact vehicle for the trip.
