Since Da Nang to Hoi An is close, most of the backpackers rent motorbikes to get to Hoi An. This is very convenient and cheap as motorbike rental only ranges from $5-8 depending on the make and model of the bike. But not recommended to those traveling with several luggage as it would be hard to fit them on the back of the motorbike making it an uncomfortable transfer from Da Nang to Hoi An.
If you cannot drive but still would like to travel with it, you may just hire xe om which is motorbike taxi though it is recommended to negotiate before getting on the bike to avoid getting ripped off.
Another easy and cheap way to get to Hoi An from Da Nang is by local bus. The government have set a direct line for tourists’ convenience when visiting both cities. Due to this, Da Nang to Hoi An transfer get a little cheaper.
The bus fare is just $1 though it might not be convenient as these buses would be filled with locals who went to Da Nang to buy stuff. Bus conductors may have limited English vocabulary to help you out where is the place for you to stop to get to your hostel or hotel
