Common scam patterns
- Fake Grab drivers at airport. Scammers pose as Grab drivers at Da Nang International Airport, offering rides and then overcharging or disappearing with the fare. This occurs especially during late‑night arrivals when travelers are unfamiliar with local transport options. Tip: Use official taxi ranks or verified ride‑hailing apps and confirm the driver’s details before boarding.
- Fraudulent hotel booking websites. Websites and social‑media pages impersonate reputable Da Nang hotels, advertising ultra‑low rates and collecting deposits via bank transfers. Guests often receive no confirmation and find the booking does not exist upon arrival. Tip: Book rooms through the hotel’s official website or trusted platforms like Klook or Booking.com.
- Taxi meter manipulation. Some taxis tamper with meters or claim they are broken, charging inflated flat rates instead of the standard metered fare. The practice is most common in tourist‑heavy zones and around the airport. Tip: Insist on using the meter, request a receipt, or switch to a reputable ride‑hailing service.
Area notes
- Han Market area. Petty theft is most common here, especially in crowded stalls.
- Han River waterfront. Crowded tourist zone where pickpocketing incidents have been reported.
- Da Nang International Airport vicinity. Transport scams such as fake Grab drivers are frequently reported around the airport.
