Self-Drive Car Rental in Vietnam

Yes, foreign visitors can legally drive in Vietnam with a valid driving license and the required documentation. We verify your documents before rental — contact our team if you have questions about eligibility.

You need: (1) Valid passport, (2) Valid driving license from your home country, (3) A valid credit or debit card for the security deposit.

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. If unsure, consider our "Car With Driver" service instead.

Every vehicle carries compulsory third-party liability insurance as required by Vietnamese law. You can add CDW Insurance ($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.
