Coaches from Pleiku: fares, offices, booking

Leaving Pleiku by coach comes down to three questions: which company runs your route, where you board, and what the ticket costs. Fares below are “from” prices as of October 2026, enough to plan a budget. Phương Trang (FUTA) also runs from Pleiku; its fares and times are only on futabus.vn or the company’s app.

Leaving Pleiku for Quy Nhơn, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City: fares and times

Fares from October 2026.

Both long routes run overnight. The Ho Chi Minh City coach leaves at about 7 pm and the Da Nang coach at about 7:30 pm. Heading south it stops at Chư Sê, Tân Lập market (Bình Phước) and AEON Bình Dương Canary; towards Da Nang, at Đức Phổ and Núi Thành. Transfers, cold towels and water are included. You arrive in the early hours, so sort out a hotel or a pickup before you go.

Coming to Pleiku from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Quy Nhon: operators, fares and where you get off

Coming up to the highlands, the two companies that publish their own times and fares are Đức Đạt and Tuấn Anh. Fares and journey times are the same as above; here is where to buy.

From Ho Chi Minh City the coaches leave between 6 and 8:15 pm, and from Da Nang between 7 and 9 pm. Both are overnight, so line up a place to sleep or a pickup. Quy Nhơn departure times are on each company’s hotline.

Each company can set you down at the station or at its own office, so settle the drop-off point when you book (hotlines are in the booking section below).

Where to catch a coach around Pleiku

Not every coach leaves from the main station. Đức Long Bus Station is on Lý Nam Đế street, Hội Phú ward, and you can look for your company’s counter there, but companies often pick up at their own offices. Times and fares change with the season, so check the company’s own page.

• Tuấn Anh: 180 Lê Duẩn street, in the former Trà Bá ward, now Hội Phú ward.
• Đức Đạt: 275 Lê Đại Hành street, in the former Đống Đa ward, now Thống Nhất ward, plus another office at 26 Phan Đình Phùng.

If the new ward names are confusing, Pleiku wards after the merger shows where each old ward now sits. Be at your pickup point 30 minutes before departure, here in Pleiku and at the other end.

Tip: Ask for the pickup point when you book; the company may collect from its own office rather than the station.

Booking, changing and cancelling tickets

Cheap tickets on booking sites are tempting, but travellers do book and then wait at a stop where no coach pulls in, or get no confirmation call. Tuấn Anh and Đức Đạt send an e-ticket by email or SMS to the details you registered, and staff then confirm with you. Enter your phone number correctly and keep the phone on.

The pickup point on a booking site or app is not always where the coach really stops, and the time is only an estimate, so phone the company to confirm both. We recommend this routine:

• Book directly: Tuấn Anh’s hotline is 0984 784 898, Đức Đạt’s booking number is 0931 187 187, and Đức Đạt accepts international credit and debit cards.
• Get the confirmation in writing: ask for a message or email with the ticket code and pickup point, and keep the code to show at the departure point.
• Pick the company’s office or ticket counter rather than a street pickup, and show the SMS or email there.
• Without a Vietnamese SIM, ask your hotel reception to phone the company, ask whether it takes Zalo messages, and use email to receive the confirmation.

You can also buy at the company’s counter or by phone, and book early around public holidays and Tết. Tuấn Anh has only one Facebook page; look-alikes are fakes, so check any number against the hotline before sending money.

Cancelling is simpler than you might fear. At Đức Đạt, cancelling or changing more than 10 hours before departure refunds 100%; inside 10 hours there is no refund. Holiday periods (Lễ, Tết) and morning trips are excluded, so be sure of your plans for those. Other companies may have different terms.

The Quy Nhơn route: many companies, and the expressway

If you are heading to Quy Nhơn you are not short of choices. Eight operators run it, about 20 trips a day on average, up from four operators and around eight trips a day before. Đức Đạt joined in August 2025. Weekend coaches fill up, so book early.

Do not wait for the expressway: the 125 km Quy Nhơn to Pleiku road is being built in phases between 2025 and 2029, with the earliest opening in 2029, so coaches still use National Highway 19. A landslide on the An Khê Pass in late October 2025 has been cleared. For travel time, the pass and the expressway, see Pleiku to Quy Nhơn; to fly instead, see the Pleiku airport page.
