Instead, take a look at some tour companies in either Da Nang/Hoi An/Hue and see if any of them will do a one-way car ride for you.

Personally, I would also cut the # of days in HCMC and put it towards Da Nang/Hue/Hoi An. For Hue, you can do a one-day tour to cover the more popular attractions.
How long was your trip? I was thinking to do 7-8 nights but not do Hanoi because of time constraints.
