TL;DR
Traveler reports show taxi fares in Da Nang can vary a lot by app: around 100–109k VND on Maxim, 350k VND on inDrive, and 510k VND on Grab, while offline drivers may quote up to 1.2 million VND. If a driver tries to change the price outside the app, it’s safer to stick to the in-app fare or cancel.
What the community said
In one reported case, a Maxim ride was booked for 109k VND, but the driver then offered to do it for 100k VND in cash. This suggests some drivers may try to change the deal after pickup, so it’s safer to follow the app fare.

Travelers asked about a QR payment limit in Maxim of around 350 RUB, meaning that if the ride costs more, you may need to confirm in advance whether the driver accepts the remaining amount another way. In practice, it’s best to check the final in-app fare before confirming.

In one Da Nang comparison, prices differed dramatically: a regular driver quoted about 1.2 million VND, Grab showed 510k VND, and inDrive was around 350k VND. To save money, it makes sense to compare at least Grab, inDrive, and Maxim before booking.
