Car Rental With a Driver

      Or book instantly via Telegram

        Just relocated to Ho Chi Minh City for a few months? You will be moving between your rental flat, the office, clients and perhaps industrial parks in Binh Duong, Dong Nai or Long An. Booking a ride-hail car for every trip makes cost and rush-hour waiting hard to control. A monthly car, self-drive or with a driver, is what many newcomers choose. Here is how to pick the right package while the city is still new to you.

        Self-drive or with a driver?

        You are Suggestion
        Used to driving in another big city Self-drive; avoid rush hour in week one.
        An occasional or out-of-practice driver Driver for the first month, then reconsider.
        A manager with back-to-back meetings With driver.
        A foreign professional With driver, or self-drive with a licence valid in Vietnam.

        Compare both in self-drive vs with driver.

        Documents

        Vietnamese citizens need a national ID and, for self-drive, a valid licence; add company details for an 8% VAT invoice. Foreign nationals need a licence recognised in Vietnam to drive; see 2026 IDP rules. Without one, a car with driver is the safe and legal choice.

        Delivery and handover

        No need to visit an office. We deliver to your flat, hotel, office or the airport as you land. Service areas: pickup points and service area in HCMC. Send your flight number so the driver can track your landing; if the flight is delayed, the driver waits with no waiting fee.

        Packages that suit newcomers

        1. First month with a driver, then self-drive once confident.
        2. Self-drive 4-seater if you live alone in a flat with tight parking.
        3. Self-drive 7-seater if your family is joining later.
        4. Self-drive VinFast VF5 or VF7 if your building or office has chargers.

        Petrol or diesel is your choice when booking: petrol is smoother in town with simpler servicing; diesel pulls harder and uses fewer litres on long trips, but diesel currently costs more than petrol and servicing costs more.

        Company paying?

        Share company details when booking. The contract details car, term and price, is sent for you or your admin team to read first and signed by both parties; we issue 8% VAT invoices. Companies needing several cars can see monthly car rental with driver for business.
