The rate table does not name a route, so whether the trip uses the Hai Van tunnel or the pass is confirmed by dispatch. According to the Da Nang city portal, the Hai Van tunnel is 6.28 km long and opened on 5 June 2005. The 3 hours 48 minutes excludes stops and rush hour, and dispatch confirms it again for your travel date. The rate for this leg is on the page for a private car from Da Nang and Hoi An to the Vinh Moc tunnels; destination information is in the guide to a private car to the Vinh Moc tunnels.
What the one-way rate covers and what it does not include automatically
- In the base rate: fuel, road tolls and parking fees on the listed route.
- Not included automatically: the return leg, time the car waits at the site, the driver’s overnight stay, extra stops and admission tickets. This guide does not quote ticket prices because the official page lists the price as being updated.
- No figure yet: time to spend at each stop; the rate table only gives driving time.
One day or a night away: an illustration
An illustration, not a fixed schedule: the car leaves Da Nang at 6:00; 3 hours 48 minutes of driving plus one rest stop reaches Vinh Moc around 10:30. If you stay about 1 hour 30 minutes and then stop at Hien Luong – Ben Hai, the drive back to Da Nang is about 4 hours more, so you would be back around 19:00 to 20:00. With those hours many groups split the plan into two days with a night in Hue or Quang Tri; the decision is yours. The base rate table has no entry for the driver’s overnight stay, so the arrangement is set out in the quote. A two- or three-day plan that adds Phong Nha is in the Da Nang, Hue, Quang Tri, Phong Nha 3-day, 2-night itinerary.
Places often visited together, from public sources
Hien Luong – Ben Hai on Highway 1A is the marker that divided the country at the 17th parallel from 1954 to 1975. The Quang Tri Citadel by the Thach Han river is tied to the 81-day battle of 1972 (according to dulich.quangtri.gov.vn and Wikipedia); there is no official source for the Citadel’s opening hours. The Vinh Moc tunnels were used to shelter from bombing and to support Con Co island, and villagers lived in the tunnels for nearly 2,000 days and nights. These are places of remembrance, so dress appropriately and keep a respectful manner. The car picks up and drops off at hotels or resorts; at the sites, where cars may stop is set by the management.
What to send for a quote
- The Da Nang or Hoi An pickup; cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off.
- The date you go and the date you return, a day trip or a night away.
- The Quang Tri stops you want.
- The number of passengers, anyone prone to car sickness, the number of suitcases and the 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle.
If you start from Hue, see the page for a car tour of the Quang Tri heritage sites from Hue.
