Getting a Car at Da Nang Airport at Night When Your Flight Changes
Send the changed details and wait for a confirmed new pickup time instead of assuming the car has been adjusted.

Landing at 23:00 or in the small hours after a long delay is the most tiring experience for any passenger. When the clock has passed midnight, the terminal is emptying and the service counters are switching off their lights, all you want is a comfortable car waiting to take your family to the hotel to rest.
When a flight changes time, the key is to update the pickup provider promptly and keep a working contact channel from the moment the plane touches down. Do not assume the pickup time or the waiting time will change by itself if you have not sent your exact flight number.
The meeting point and the contact channel are checked against your terminal before the trip is confirmed.
- Step 1: Collect checked luggage on the ground floor.
- Step 2: Walk out of the arrivals hall (exit A or B).
- Step 3: Go to pickup pillar A4 or A5, opposite the pickup lane.
- Step 4: Confirm the car's position through the contact channel you agreed before leaving the waiting area.
- Step 1: Complete immigration and collect your luggage.
- Step 2: Walk out into the T2 international arrivals hall.
- Step 3: Check the meeting point and how to recognise your contact person by WhatsApp, Zalo or phone.
- Step 4: Go to the car once both sides have confirmed the trip details.
What to Update as Soon as Your Flight Is Delayed
As soon as you get a notice of a new departure time from the airline by SMS or email, forward it to dispatch straight away:
- The exact flight number and date: For example VJ512 on 28/09.
- The latest landing time: The expected arrival time at Da Nang Airport according to the airline’s update.
- The arrival terminal: Domestic terminal T1 or international terminal T2.
- The drop-off point and the number of passengers: The name of the hotel in the centre or the resort in Hoi An.
- A phone number with Zalo or WhatsApp: So the driver can contact you as soon as you switch your phone on.
If the delay notice arrives after you have boarded or while you are out of coverage, switch your phone on as soon as the plane lands and message the driver.
How Sun Travel Handles a Flight That Changes Time
Compared with an unlicensed taxi or a late-night ride-hailing car that may cancel because of a short fare, the Da Nang airport transfer service from Sun Travel works like this:
- Flight information: Dispatch compares your flight number with the flight information available to it to review the pickup time at the arrivals hall. Any waiting terms are confirmed for your request rather than assumed.
- A car assigned to you: A private car that has been dispatched for you waits patiently, and the driver helps carry bulky luggage so you can rest after a long flight.
- Clear costs: You can check the Sun Travel private car rates beforehand to see the listed price. See also the guide on getting from the airport into the city and the Da Nang airport car booking checklist to prepare your trip.
Frequently asked questions when a flight is delayed or arrives late at night
If my flight is delayed by 2 hours, can the driver still wait?
Send your flight number and the new landing time as soon as you know them. Dispatch reviews the pickup time for your request, and how a delay is handled and any waiting terms are confirmed rather than assumed.
If the plane lands at 01:00 to 02:00, will a car still meet me?
Sun Travel serves airport pickups flexibly to match your flight schedule once you have booked in advance. Whether your flight lands late at night or before dawn, the car is set to be at the pickup point at the agreed time.
After collecting my luggage late at night, where do I find the driver?
The driver waits for you at pillar A4 or A5 (T1) or pillar 4 or 5 (T2) with a name board, or phones you to guide you to where the car is parked.
Is there a waiting charge at the airport if my flight is late?
Waiting terms for a late flight are confirmed with your booking rather than assumed. Send the updated flight information as early as you can so any waiting condition can be stated before you land.
What should I do if the airline changes my flight number at the last minute?
Message the new flight number through Zalo or the Sun Travel dispatch hotline before you board so the pickup schedule can be updated to match the latest flight.
