Private Car Transfer from Quy Nhon to Kon Tum - Mui Ne Private Car
Kon Tum is a province in Vietnam's Central Highlands, bordering Laos and Cambodia, known for its cooler climate, ethnic minority communities, and the wooden Kon Tum Cathedral. It sits well inland from the coast, at a higher elevation than Quy Nhon, which means a noticeably cooler and drier feel once you arrive. Kon Tum has no airport of its own - the nearest is Pleiku Airport in neighboring Gia Lai province. For travelers coming from the Binh Dinh coast, a private car from Quy Nhon to Kon Tum is the most direct way to make the climb from sea level to the highlands.
The distance by private car transfer from Quy Nhon to Kon Tum along QL19 is approximately 197 km. QL19 runs west from the Binh Dinh coast, climbing through Gia Lai province before reaching Kon Tum.
The distance from Quy Nhon to Kon Tum via QL19
Travel time by private car is approximately 4 hours and 13 minutes for the 197 km route via QL19. The road climbs through two mountain passes, the An Khe Pass and the Mang Yang Pass, both winding but well-maintained. The first hour of additional waiting time is free of charge. Additional waiting time is charged at 100,000 VND (~$5 USD) per hour thereafter.
The mountain sections on QL19 are best handled by a driver who knows the road well. A private car means consistent, experienced driving through the passes rather than relying on a shared vehicle's schedule and route.

Mui Ne Private Car (Reviews from Google Maps and Tripadvisor) - company sign & pickup boards at hotel
Your driver will arrive at your hotel or your location in Quy Nhon before the time of your scheduled pickup. This driver will come in a car that is running and has its air-conditioning switched on. Additionally, bottled water is already present inside your car. Besides that, your driver will carry your luggage from your hotel lobby to the vehicle and ask for your hotel address or any other address in Kon Tum where you would like to be dropped off.
QL19 from Quy Nhon climbs gradually away from the coast, passing through Binh Dinh's lowlands before the road begins to wind through the An Khe Pass, the first major climb into the highlands. After An Khe town, the route continues through Gia Lai province and over the Mang Yang Pass before descending into Kon Tum. The scenery shifts from flat coastal terrain to pine forests and highland plateau as the elevation increases. The first hour of additional waiting time comes free of charge, useful for a coffee break or a photo stop along the mountain road. Additional waiting time is charged at 100,000 VND (approximately $5 USD) per hour thereafter.
The driver takes you directly to your Kon Tum hotel or homestay doorstep, whether it be the city center near the wooden cathedral, a riverside guesthouse, or any other part of the area. Your luggage is taken off the car at your doorstep. Just before leaving, there will be a brief check within 30 seconds on your personal belongings, including your mobile phone, wallet, earphones, passport, and anything else you left inside the car’s door pockets or back seats.
QL19 passes through Gia Lai province on the way to Kon Tum, making Pleiku a natural stop or combined destination for travelers exploring the Central Highlands. If your itinerary includes both provinces, mention this at booking so we can plan the route and any stops accordingly.
If you'd like to stop in Pleiku or another highland town along the way, let us know at booking so we can account for the extra time.
Note: Weather in the mountain passes can change quickly, particularly during the rainy season. Drivers familiar with QL19 adjust their pace accordingly for safety.
Arrival, bags, personal items check, and payment follow the same process as the city center transfer above.
Whether you have been staying in Kon Tum for a few days exploring the highlands, or you're heading back to the coast to continue your trip, there is a corresponding reverse transfer service for you as well.
All you have to do is give us your address in Kon Tum and your preferred pickup time, and we will confirm it instantly. Round-trip packages are available at a combined rate - contact us via WhatsApp with both dates for the best pricing.

Best Time to Visit
Kon Tum's dry season runs from November to April, with cooler, clearer weather that makes the mountain drive on QL19 more comfortable and predictable. The rainy season from May to October brings heavier rainfall, particularly in the highland sections, which can slow travel through the An Khe and Mang Yang passes. Visiting during the dry months also means better visibility for the scenic stretch between the coast and the highlands.
