Dung Quat Oil Refinery to Da Nang Private Car Transfer
Private car from Dung Quat Oil Refinery to Da Nang, built for the specific problem of finishing a shift inside an industrial zone with no bus stop of its own and a flight to catch 128 km away. No coach departs from inside the refinery gates. Reaching one means a first taxi out to Quang Ngai city, a wait for a seat on the next Da Nang-bound service, and a second taxi once you arrive - three unpredictable legs stacked against a boarding time that will not wait for you. If your schedule has any flight, ferry or meeting attached to it, that chain is exactly the kind of thing that turns a 2-hour drive into a missed connection.
Book a private transfer through Mui Ne Private Car, and your driver meets you at the refinery gate or visitor reception, then runs the whole 128 km to Da Nang in one vehicle - hotel, airport or wherever you need to be, on a schedule built around your actual departure time.

Chauffeur-driven ride from Dung Quat Oil Refinery to Da Nang – Mui Ne Private Car
Why Is This Transfer Option Better Than Combining Two Taxi Rides and One Bus Ride?
Dung Quat is an operational oil refining and petrochemical complex, not a transit hub, and no long-distance bus routes have any reason to pass through the security gates of this area. The nearest bus routes depart from the city of Quang Ngai, about 30 km to the south, which means that anyone traveling from the plant itself must begin their journey with an unplanned local taxi ride before the actual trip to Da Nang can begin.
A pre-booked private driver for the direct 128-km route will completely eliminate those transfers. The car will depart from the gate at the exact time you choose - not according to the bus company’s schedule - and travel directly on the highway to any destination you wish in Da Nang - a significant advantage for engineers, auditors, or technicians carrying boxes of equipment that are difficult to rearrange when transferring between vehicles.
This is even more important when you have a flight. Da Nang International Airport serves both domestic and international flights, and a private driver whose schedule is coordinated with your actual flight will provide much more buffer time than relying on a bus and a second taxi to go exactly as planned.
Plant access note: The refinery controls who may enter the complex. Our driver meets you at the main gate or visitor reception; any permit or vehicle registration needed to get there is arranged through your host company in advance.

On the Road: Dung Quat to Da Nang in Four Stages
Kilometre marks are approximate. Your driver will choose the fastest expressway connection on the day.
Stage 1 - Dung Quat Economic Zone to Binh Son km 0 – 20
Leaving the refinery gates, the car rolled along the wide access roads and past the security checkpoints surrounding the economic zone - for the first few minutes, the storage tanks, pipelines, and smokestacks of the petrochemical complex were still visible in the rearview mirror. Fishing villages nestle among the industrial zones, serving as a reminder that before the oil refinery was built, this coastline was once a peaceful agricultural region.
The road quickly opens up to the flat fields of Binh Son District, crossing the Tra Bong River along a stretch where rice paddies and sugarcane fields stretch out on both sides of the highway. Local traffic here is a mix of motorcycles and small cargo trucks serving the district’s commercial towns.
Toward the end of this leg, signs begin directing drivers toward the Da Nang–Quang Ngai Expressway, a newly constructed, divided highway that covers most of this route and has significantly reduced travel time compared to the old, much slower National Highway 1.
Stage 2 - Crossing into Quang Nam: Nui Thanh & Chu Lai km 20 – 50
The border of Quang Nam Province emerges quietly, marked only by changes in road signs, but the landscape shifts noticeably as soon as the car rolls onto the main stretch of the elevated highway - wider lanes, lighter traffic, and a smoother ride compared to the national highway running parallel below.
Nui Thanh District is home to the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone and the region’s airport, which can be glimpsed from the elevated sections of the expressway. This is one of the largest industrial and logistics hubs on the central coast, and the volume of freight on this stretch reflects that, even though the expressway has completely separated this area from local roads.
Beyond the economic zone, the Truong Giang River delta unfolds before your eyes - a mosaic of aquaculture ponds and rice paddies stretching toward the coast, with the Truong Son Mountains forming a hazy backdrop to the west.
Stage 3 - Tam Ky and the Thu Bon Delta km 50 – 90
The highway bypasses Tam Ky, the capital of Quang Nam Province, though from the west, the city’s skyline remains visible within a few kilometers. This is the largest town situated between the oil refinery and Da Nang, and it serves as the last true stop in the vast countryside before the road begins to veer distinctly toward the coast.
North of Tam Ky, the road crosses the vast Thu Bon River plain - one of the most fertile and intensively farmed areas along the Central Coast - where fish cages and small boats glisten on the water as the car passes by.
This is also an ideal natural stop for travelers looking to take a short break - a roadside stop to enjoy a cup of coffee or stretch your legs before continuing the journey to Da Nang, with the turnoff to Hoi An’s Old Town appearing shortly afterward.
Stage 4 - Hoi An Approach to Da Nang km 90 – 128
Past the Hoi An junction, the road continues northward along the coastal corridor, with sand dunes and resorts peeking out from among the farmlands as the Pacific Ocean coast draws ever closer.
The five limestone and marble peaks of the Ngũ Hành Sơn Range rise abruptly from the flat coastal plain, forming one of the most striking landmarks along this stretch and a clear sign that Da Nang is just ahead. Traffic volume typically increases here as the road merges with the city’s traffic flow.
The final kilometers will run along Da Nang’s coastal boulevard or inland toward the airport, depending on your destination, with Son Tra Peninsula visible across the bay. The driver will drop you off at the train station, hotel, or address confirmed at the time of booking, completing the entire 128-km journey without having to follow any bus schedule.

Notable Stops Along the Way
Hoi An Ancient Town On the way – worth time
A UNESCO World Heritage old town of lantern-lit streets, wooden shophouses and a famous covered bridge, sitting almost directly on the route between the Thu Bon delta and Da Nang. Unlike the other stops on this page, Hoi An rewards real time rather than a quick look, so it suits travellers with a flexible schedule rather than one built tightly around a flight.

An Bang Beach Short detour near Hoi An
A wide, relatively uncrowded stretch of sand just north of Hoi An, popular for a swim or a seafood lunch at one of the beachfront restaurants. It adds about 10 minutes off the main route, an easy add-on if you are already stopping in Hoi An.
Marble Mountains Near the destination
Five marble and limestone peaks rising straight out of the coastal plain, each riddled with caves and Buddhist shrines, with a lift and staircase leading to panoramic views over the coastline. It sits right on the route into Da Nang, so a stop of 45 minutes to an hour costs very little extra driving time.
About stops & pricing: Fares on this page cover the direct Dung Quat to Da Nang run. A Hoi An, An Bang or Marble Mountains stop may carry a small surcharge depending on timing. Message us before booking and we will give you one clear total for exactly the journey you want.
About Mui Ne Private Car

Drivers Familiar with the Quang Ngai–Da Nang Route
Our drivers regularly travel on this highway, so they know exactly which sections are prone to traffic jams during holidays, the locations of the Chu Lai and Hoi An exits, and how much extra time to allow when passing through the shift-change area near the oil refinery gate.

Fuel costs and highway tolls are already included in the pre-quoted fare for the entire route. Any optional stops will be quoted and agreed upon before departure, so there are no price changes once the vehicle is on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dung Quat Oil Refinery to Da Nang
Q1: How long does a private car take from Dung Quat to Da Nang?
A: About 2 hours 10 minutes for the 128 km, mostly on the Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway. Add 15 to 20 minutes if you want a short rest stop along the way.
Q2: How much does the transfer cost?
A: Per vehicle, one way: $65 for a sedan, $75 for a medium SUV, $80 for a large SUV and $95 for a 16-seat van. Fuel and expressway tolls are included.
Q3: Which vehicle should I choose?
A: A sedan suits one to three people with light bags. Choose a medium or large SUV for small teams or families with more luggage, and the 16-seat van for crews of up to 12 with equipment cases.
Q4: Can the driver take me straight to Da Nang International Airport?
A: Yes. Your car can go directly to the airport departures area, timed with a safe buffer before your flight, instead of stopping at a city bus station first.
Q5: Is there a direct bus from Dung Quat to Da Nang?
A: No bus serves the economic zone itself. Coaches run from Quang Ngai city, which means a first taxi out, a wait for the next service, and a second taxi on arrival. A private car replaces all three legs with one direct ride.
Q6: Can we stop in Hoi An on the way?
A: Yes. Hoi An Ancient Town sits just off the main route into Da Nang, so a stop of an hour or more is easy to build in. Mention it when you book so we can plan the timing.
Q7: Is this a good option after a shift change to catch an evening flight?
A: Yes. Many guests book this transfer right after finishing work at the refinery to make an evening departure from Da Nang. Share your flight time and we will work backward to a safe pickup time.
