Book a private car
The first and the safest way that we would like to recommend you is to book a private car. There are numerous benefits when booking a private car. First of all, tourists will have private space for moving, relaxing, and admiring the scenery outside.
Second, it is safe and you will obviously not be lost because you have already had an experienced driver. Next, the price will be cheaper when you travel in a group of people and book a private car.

Drive a car
One day, if you feel bored taking a taxi or a bus to My Son Sanctuary, it is a great idea to self drive to My Son Sanctuary. Nevertheless, we do not recommend you hire a car for My Son trip in case you are going to make a trip for long days.
There is no place for car rental in Hoi An, so you will have to rent a car in Danang City, maybe at Danang International Airport, and drive it to My Son. Plus, the cost is pretty high around $100. This price is even more expensive than booking a tour of Hoi An ancient town and My Son Sanctuary in one day.
Rent a scooter or motorbike
In Hoi An or Danang, it is very easy for you to hire a scooter. Furthermore, hiring a scooter can be considered the most effective way to enjoy beautiful surroundings with fresh air, trees, and mountainous images. We cannot deny this method extremely suits those who are in love with adventure.
Also, it is so cheap honestly. You will have to pay about 5 dollars to rent a scooter or a motorbike in Hoi An and Danang. Plus, you also have to spend 3-4 dollars for the gasoline fee on the round trip. However, you have no insurance here. So, let’s be careful when driving a scooter on a traveling road.
Driving directions from Hoi An to My Son
If you are in Hoi An’s city center, let’s leave and drive to Tran Hung Dao street from the west! Keep driving about 11 kilometers on the same road. The road name can be changed but it does not matter. After that, you have to turn north leading to QL1A highway and go ahead till you see Vinh Dien town.

Driving directions from Danang to My Son
If you go by scooter or car for the My Son Sanctuary tour from Da Nang, let’s follow National Highway 1 south to Nam Phuoc town. The distance is about 39 kilometers. Then, you should turn west on Route 537.
Keep driving about 9 kilometers, you will get to Tra Kieu. Turn to the fork and 12 kilometers driving then turn left! In about 9 minutes, you will see the signboard to My Son Sanctuary. Just follow the board and you will reach My Son Sanctuary.
Take a bus or a taxi
Another way for you to reach the sanctuary is to take a bus. There are many public buses with the route from Hoi An to My Son or Danang to My Son, and vice versa.
Or you can book a shuttle bus from Hoi An to My Son Sanctuary, which one is so convenient for you. In Danang, you can catch bus number 06. The timeline for each bus will be 30 minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additionally, you can afford it because the ticket is inexpensive, about 8 dollars.
In addition to a bus, it is possible for you to take a taxi to get to My Son from Hoi An or Danang. This means of transport may be safer but it also costs much more money than hiring a scooter or taking a bus. It will take between 30 and 50 dollars for taking a cab.
