Self-Drive Car Rental in Vietnam

Licence rules depend on your nationality. Foreign visitors with a question about their licence should message Rocket on WhatsApp or Messenger before booking.

You need: (1) Your passport, (2) Your national driving licence, (3) An International Driving Permit (IDP), not required for nationals of ASEAN countries, (4) The refundable security deposit, paid by card, bank transfer or cash.

Driving in major cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi can be challenging due to dense traffic. However, intercity highways and rural roads are generally manageable. We recommend self-drive for experienced drivers.

Every vehicle carries compulsory third-party liability insurance as required by Vietnamese law. You can add CDW ($10/day) at checkout to reduce your damage excess, or our Full Protection plan ($350 flat for the whole trip) to reduce it to $0 with added coverage for glass, mirrors, lights and tyres.

The renter is responsible for any traffic violations during the rental period. Common fines include speeding and running red lights. We provide a driving guide with local traffic rules before you pick up the car.
