hiring a private driver in hoi an — honest answers.

How does booking actually work?
You describe your trip on the quote form — dates, people, and the plan in your own words. A real driver reads it and prices it, you get one fixed total by email, and a 10% deposit books your driver and your dates. The rest is paid at the end of the trip.
Why is there no price list?
Because every trip is different — an airport pickup with a child seat is not the same job as three days over the Hải Vân Pass. A day with a car typically starts around $89, but your number comes from your trip, in writing, before you pay anything.
Can I just use Grab? It's cheaper.
For a ten-minute ride across town, you should. A trip is different: one driver who knows your plan, speaks enough English to change it when it rains, and stays with you — not nine strangers and a language gap at every pickup.
What's the cancellation policy?
The 10% deposit is what books your driver — once paid, it's non-refundable. It's how we can promise your dates are truly held. If something serious happens — a cancelled flight, an emergency — message us on the WhatsApp thread you get when you book, and talk to us.
Do I need to tip?
No. You hand your driver the balance at the end of the trip — a number fixed in US dollars at quote time, nothing to negotiate in the car. Tips are welcome and never expected.
Is it safe for solo travellers and families?
Yes. Drivers are licensed, insured, and personally known to the operator — every one of them. Before your trip you get your driver's name, photo, and licence plate on WhatsApp — share them with anyone you like.
Can I book the same driver for several days?
Yes — put the whole run on one quote form and it's priced as one trip, which usually works out better per day. Want to extend mid-trip? Message the WhatsApp thread you already have and we'll quote the extra days.
