Table of Contents (2 sections)
For a pickup or drop-off at Da Nang International Airport to run on time and smoothly, prepare the core details in advance: your flight number, the arrival terminal (T1 or T2), the number of passengers, the size of your suitcases and a direct contact channel. Checking all of these lets dispatch arrange the right 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle and avoids extra costs or waiting after a long flight.

Five Key Details to Give When You Book
1. Your flight number – the most important detail
Do not just write “please pick me up at 10 am”. The time on your ticket is only a planned time. A flight can land 20 minutes early or be delayed by two hours because of the weather.
When you give your flight number (for example VN123, VJ624 or QH152), the coordinators of the Da Nang airport transfer service can compare it with your landing time when updated flight information is available. Whatever happens to the flight, the pickup time is reviewed for your request, and any waiting terms are confirmed rather than assumed.
2. Domestic terminal (T1) or international terminal (T2)
Da Nang Airport has two separate terminals side by side. If you are flying from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, you come out at T1. If you are flying in from Korea, Thailand, Singapore or Taiwan, you go through immigration at T2. Giving the right terminal lets the driver park in the right lane, so you do not have to drag suitcases between the two terminals.
3. The number of passengers and any special needs
- How many adults are travelling?
- Are there small children who need a car seat, or older adults who find it hard to get around?
If there are older passengers, Sun Travel will favour vehicles with a comfortable step or a 7-seat car so it is easy for them to get in and out.
4. The number and size of your suitcases
This is the most common trap. Count your suitcases exactly:
- Cabin-size suitcases (20-inch): Compact and easy to stack.
- Large checked suitcases (24 to 28 inches): They take a lot of boot space.
If a group of four has four 28-inch suitcases and a stroller, book a high-clearance 7-seat car straight away to avoid holding suitcases on your lap.
5. A phone number with Zalo or WhatsApp
After you land and collect your luggage, a phone with a connection is the only link between you and your driver. Make sure the number you give can take calls immediately, or has Zalo or WhatsApp so you can send a photo of where you are standing.
When to Book an Airport Car
- On ordinary days: Book at least 3 to 5 hours before the flight.
- At public holidays, Tet and the summer peak (May to August): Book one to two days ahead so you can choose a newer vehicle and lock in the listed price without a last-minute increase.
- See the package prices quickly on the Sun Travel private car rates page or use the online price calculator to know the cost of each leg in advance.
We wish you a smooth flight and a bright start to your holiday in Central Vietnam.
Frequently asked questions when preparing an airport car booking
If I book a car but my flight is cancelled, will I lose money?
If the airline cancels your flight and you tell us early, before the pickup time, Sun Travel checks whether the booking can be cancelled or moved under the policy confirmed for it.
After I collect my luggage, do I call the driver or does the driver contact me?
The driver messages or calls you as soon as your plane has landed to give you the plate number and tell you where to wait at the arrivals pillar.
Does the car have a child seat?
If you need a child seat, tell us before booking so dispatch can arrange a vehicle with a safe child seat.
Should I give the landing time on my ticket or the time I want the car?
Give your flight number and the landing time printed on your ticket. Dispatch compares the flight time when updated data is available and agrees the pickup time with you after you collect your luggage; the actual time still needs confirming for each trip.
If I pay by bank transfer, do I need to pay a deposit first?
Whether a deposit is needed and how to pay depend on the route, the date and the wording of the confirmation. Ask before you confirm; if payment after the trip is approved, that information is written in the confirmation.
