Self-Drive Car Rental in Vietnam

Yes, foreigners can legally drive in Vietnam with a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) paired with their home country driving license. The IDP must be based on the 1968 Vienna Convention. We verify your documents before rental.

You need: (1) Valid passport, (2) International Driving Permit (IDP based on Vienna Convention 1968), (3) Home country driving license, (4) 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.

All self-drive rentals include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance. This covers damage to the vehicle in case of an accident. Personal accident insurance and third-party liability are also included. Optional premium coverage is available.

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.
