In order to get to Hoi An, as many tourists do, there are a couple of options:
As of February 2011, backpackers at train station said that $10 was the standard rate for going to Hoi An. You can try and negotiate with a taxi driver at the train station, and agree on a fare of $10 (200,000d.)
Alternatively, you may walk out from the station and turn right on the street. Walking along this street will lead you to a park, where you can see a bus number for a yellow-coloured bus #1 - Da Nang - Hoi An. The fare is 20,000d. per person to Hoi An. This same bus also passes by Marble Mountain (Vietnamese: Non Nước or Ngũ Hành Sơn). It is possible to do as the locals do and insist on paying your fare according to the distance (i.e. from Hoi An to Marble Mountain, 15,000d. instead of 20,000d.) This may work better if your Vietnamese is good. Taxi drivers may park in front of the bus stop and tell you that the bus is not running, trying to get your business.
Alternatively the best way to go and like most local would do you could go by motorbikes. Rent a motorbike to travel to Hoi An from Da Nang cost about 150,000VND per day for most hotel and rental companies in Da Nang. The locals pay about 50,000-100,000, with a little bargaining and renting for a number of days you could bring down the price. The distance is approximately 28km and take about 45mins to 1 hour. The route is fairly simple and straight forward and takes you along the coastline of Da Nang allowing you a extraordinary experience and view along the beaches to Hoi An. The traffic is light and make sure you bring along a windbreaker or sweater as during the Autumn and Spring Period the temperature along the coastline can be a little cold. Avoid riding in Winter seasons as the wind is particularly strong and rain is particularly frequent.
