Car Rental in Vietnam

Hire a Car or Van with a Professional Driver for Your Journey

Renting a private car or van in Vietnam for tours or business trips is a convenient option, offering greater comfort and flexibility.

Although self-drive options are available, Vietnamdrive recommends choosing a rental with a professional driver because the chaotic traffic and unpredictable driving habits in Vietnam can be overwhelming. By opting for a chauffeur-driven vehicle, you can reduce stress and fully enjoy the scenic landscapes and cultural richness along the way.

Our experienced drivers help make every moment in the car or van enjoyable, allowing you to relax and connect with your family or friends during the journey.

Vietnamdrive offers modern cars and vans with professional drivers who can take you anywhere in Vietnam — from the bustling Old Quarter of Hanoi to the peaceful countryside of central Vietnam or the vibrant green and golden rice fields of the Mekong Delta.

Our drivers drive you through the authentic charm of this S-shaped land, helping you explore local culture, daily life, and natural beauty — or even connect with business partners to expand your ventures.

Car Rental with Driver in Vietnam

This hiring option is the optimal choice and is strongly recommended for most international visitors to Vietnam. With this service, you will be accompanied by an experienced local driver who is familiar with the different roads and crazy traffic. Outstanding benefits:

  • Drive with confidence and peace of mind: Professional drivers help you avoid risks associated with complicated traffic, especially the congestion of motorbikes during rush hours.
  • Relax and enjoy: You can completely relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the roads without worrying about the route, map, or parking.
  • Maximum flexibility: The itinerary can be adjusted, allowing you to stop at beautiful scenes along the way to take pictures, breathe in the fresh air, or grab a cup of hot coffee and have lunch.
  • Local knowledge: The professional driver can share with you insights into the local culture, including what to do and what to avoid in Vietnam. This friend can support you in exploring the country with confidence to find authentic experiences.
  • Suitable for various needs: Small car rentals are ideal for individuals, couples, or business travelers. Hiring a van in Vietnam is also suitable for international families with young children and the elderly, as well as groups of friends traveling together.

Self-Drive Car Rental in Vietnam

Although self-drive car rental offers absolute freedom, allowing you to travel around Vietnam at your own pace, this option requires careful preparation. Hiring a car without a driver is not always recommended for international travelers due to the “crazy”, chaotic traffic here.

Basic benefits:

  • Absolute freedom: You are completely proactive about your schedule and destination.
  • Privacy: A private space for couples or small families.

Challenges to consider:

  • Complex traffic: Requires driving experience in crowded, motorbike-filled environments, which differ from those in other countries.
  • License requirements: A valid International Driving Permit (IDP) or a temporary Vietnamese Driving License is required.
  • Higher risks: Potential for unexpected traffic situations.
  • Limited rental: For self-driving, rental is limited to small cars and four-seater to 7 seater cars. A van rental in Vietnam always includes a chauffeur-driven service, suitable for groups of 5 people or families traveling together.

    At Vietnamdrive, we offer transparent pricing for car rental services with a driver, ensuring you have complete confidence in your budget.

    Your car rental cost depends on several key factors: the type of car (4-seater, 7-seater, or 16-seater), the distance traveled, the rental period (hourly, daily, or fixed trip), and the tourist season (prices may be higher during peak times or public holidays).

    To help you visualize, the following is a reference price list for some of our most popular routes.

    Note that for groups of 5 guests and over, requiring more space or comfort, Vietnam van rental options of 16-seater vehicles are ideal for journeys.

    What makes our service truly stand out is the all-inclusive, worry-free service. The price Vietnamdrive quotes you includes all fuel, driver salary, road tolls, and parking fees. In particular, for long trips out of the main city, the driver’s accommodation and meals are also included, providing you with complete peace of mind and eliminating the need to worry about this additional cost. This is a great advantage and superior convenience compared to driving yourself.

    Regarding the driver’s meals during excursions, they cover this cost themselves. However, inviting the driver to join your meal is a valuable and highly appreciated gesture, reflecting Vietnamese hospitality.

    Tipping for the driver: While not mandatory or included in the rental price, tipping is a way to show your appreciation and encourage excellent service. A small tip greatly motivates our drivers to provide a more dedicated and enthusiastic experience. For short trips within the city using a 4- or 7-seat car, a suggested tip is from 100,000 VND (approx. 5 USD) upwards. For larger groups using a 16-seat van, consider tipping around 50,000 VND (approx. 2 USD) per person per day.

    Frequent questions about car hire in Vietnam

    Please send us your questions if you cannot find it here!

    Can I drive in Vietnam?

    Yes and no. While it is technically possible to drive in Vietnam with the right license, we do not recommend it for tourists, as the traffic conditions here are very different from those in many other countries.

    • Yes, you can drive if you have a valid Vietnamese driving license or an International Driving Permit (IDP) that is recognized in Vietnam.
    • No, you cannot drive legally without these licenses, as you do not meet the legal requirements to operate a vehicle in our country.

    It depends on how many people are in your group, and in which city you will hire a car and a driver. We will give you a quotation, because the price in Saigon is different from the rate in Da Nang. And, when you want to hire a car per day, Vietnamdrive often counts 8 hours per day with a limited km, 100km, within a city.

    We do not recommend hiring a car per day because the price is often higher than the rate per itinerary. Thus, you should send details of the planned route (if any), and then we will quote a better price.

    If you do not have a program, you can tell us. We are happy to plan a perfect itinerary for your visit to Vietnam.

    You tell us your requests, including the number of your group, where to start, where to visit, when and where to finish per day, and the date to travel to our email [email protected]. We will give you a quotation to book the service.

    You can also complete the form on the Contact Us page to tell us what you need. Thank you!

    The rate often includes a car/van/bus, licensed driver, road toll, parking fee, and gasoline.
