Can I get a Grab in Hoi An?

You can, but drivers are fewer than in Da Nang, especially late at night and out near the beaches. Data lets you compare Grab, Xanh SM and local taxis, and many travellers simply cycle or use their hotel's shuttle instead.

Is there good signal out at An Bang Beach and the rice paddies?

The Ancient Town and An Bang have solid 4G, but signal can thin along unlit paddy lanes and in the coconut groves at Cam Thanh. Download your maps offline so a weak patch never leaves you lost cycling home.

Good to know in Hoi An

Hoi An has no airport of its own: you fly into Da Nang, around 45 minutes away, so book your transfer or a Grab on arrival there. Ride-hailing is thinner inside Hoi An itself, where bicycles and hotel shuttles rule.

Two simple ways to buy

Hoi An eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Hoi An eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Hoi An — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Best value for lighter, shorter trips

Hoi An eSIM: your local data guide.

Hoi An is made for wandering, from the lantern-strung Ancient Town and the Japanese Covered Bridge to basket-boat rides in the Cam Thanh coconut groves and cycling out to An Bang Beach. A Hoi An eSIM keeps maps, Grab and translation live as you hunt tailors, book a cooking class or find your way back along the unlit rice-paddy lanes after dark.

One eSIM for Hoi An and all of Vietnam. It's the national Vietnam eSIM — from $3.20/day with unlimited data, working the same in Hoi An as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Da Nang International Airport (DAD)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

The practical bit

Getting around Hoi An on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Hoi An

Grab— Works in Hoi An but with fewer drivers than Da Nang; best for cars to the beach.
Xanh SM— VinFast's electric taxis and bikes, a growing option for rides around town.
Mai Linh— Long-established Vietnamese metered-taxi firm; bookable by app when Grab is scarce.
Google Maps— Essential for cycling routes to An Bang Beach and the Cam Thanh groves; save maps offline.

How long to stay in Hoi An

Most visitors spend two to three days in Hoi An, enough for the Ancient Town, a tailor fitting, a cooking class and a day at An Bang Beach.

How much data for Hoi An

A relaxed Hoi An visit is light on data, so 1-3 GB usually covers maps, reviews, translation and lantern-town photos; step up to 5 GB or Unlimited if you plan to stream or work from a beach cafe.

Coverage in Hoi An

The Ancient Town and central Hoi An have reliable 4G on Viettel, VinaPhone and MobiFone, with 5G growing; coverage realistically thins along the unlit rice-paddy lanes, the coconut groves at Cam Thanh and stretches of An Bang Beach.

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
