Frequently Asked Questions

Inside District 1, usually not — motorbike traffic, one-way systems and scarce street parking make a taxi faster and cheaper for short hops. A car earns its keep on what the city is a gateway to: the Mekong Delta ninety minutes south, Vung Tau two hours east, Mui Ne along the coast, Da Lat up in the hills. We would rather say that than sell you a car you park all week.

Not difficult, but it asks for a calm approach. It is twenty kilometres of switchbacks with long descents on both sides — hold a low gear and let the engine brake rather than riding the pedal. Go early: the sea cloud that gives the pass its name usually settles by midday. Most traffic uses the tunnel underneath, so the road itself is often quiet. In the rainy months the pass can close, and the tunnel stays open.

We offer a diverse fleet of vehicles to suit your needs, ranging from economy and compact cars for city travel, to SUVs and luxury vehicles for a more comfortable experience. Each category has multiple models to choose from.

About 140 kilometres and roughly four unhurried hours on QL27C over the Khanh Le pass. Treat it as a day out rather than a transfer: you climb from sea level to around 1,500 metres through a permanent cloud band where waterfalls drop onto the road, and there are stops worth making on the way.

No. The passes and the roads to the main sights are paved and an ordinary car handles them. A little more ground clearance helps if you plan on the tea-hill and farm tracks, and an automatic is worth taking if you are not used to mountain roads — one less thing to manage on a hairpin in fog.

My Tho and Ben Tre are about ninety minutes south. Can Tho and its floating market are three to four hours — and if the market is the point, leave before six, because it winds down by mid-morning. The roads are wide and well signed; the slow part is the first twenty minutes getting out of the city.

Yes, and they are the two drives most people rent for. Hoi An is about thirty kilometres south on a fast coastal road; park outside the old town, which is pedestrian in the evening. Hue is roughly two hours north over the Hai Van pass. Cars must stay in Vietnam, but everything from Phong Nha in the north to Quy Nhon in the south is fair game.

February to May: dry, warm and the sea is calm. June to August is hot and busy with domestic holidays, so book earlier than you think you need to. September to November is the rainy season, heaviest in October — the city carries on, but plan the pass and the mountains for the mornings.

It asks for patience rather than skill. Motorbikes flow rather than queue: they fill any gap and pass on both sides, so signal early, move slowly and predictably, and avoid sudden stops. The expressways out of town are wide and easy — the effort is the first and last twenty minutes inside the city. From May to November plan the driving for the morning, since the afternoon rain floods some streets for an hour.

No, VinRent prides itself on transparent pricing. The price quoted includes all costs, with no hidden fees. Any additional charges, like for extra services, will be clearly communicated beforehand.

It rewards a calm driver. Fog settles early in the morning and again from late afternoon — use low beams, since high beams reflect off the water in the air. On the long descents hold a lower gear and let the engine brake instead of riding the pedal. Expect vegetable and flower trucks taking the inside of hairpins, and in the rainy months watch for red clay carried onto the tarmac where farm tracks join the road.

We offer both limited and unlimited mileage options. The specifics will depend on the vehicle and rental terms you choose.

Unfortunately no — our rental terms require the car to stay inside Vietnam. Violations result in fines and a ban from future rentals.

A Visarun in Vietnam is a process where a foreigner temporarily leaves Vietnam and then immediately returns to renew or extend their visa. Typically, a visarun in Vietnam is done to a neighboring country, such as Laos or Cambodia. This procedure allows the extension of a Vietnamese visa for a period of 1 to 3 months.

Yes. A Visa Run by car is one of the most interesting ways to renew a visa. It combines a journey through Vietnam by car with the necessary visa formalities. The best way to do this is to rent a car in Vietnam.

The choice of country for a Visarun from Vietnam largely depends on your location in Vietnam. Here are approximate distances and directions from different cities:

Nha Trang: Laos (~750 km to the border) or Cambodia (~540 km to the border). Both directions are suitable, but Laos is often chosen due to its proximity and convenience of roads.

Dalat: Cambodia (~430 km to the border) or Laos (~890 km to the border). Cambodia is closer and more convenient for travel.

Danang: Laos (~400 km to the border) - the nearest and most popular choice.

Hanoi: China (~170 km to the border) or Laos (~480 km to the border). China is often chosen for its proximity, but the route through Laos is also popular.

Ho Chi Minh: Cambodia (~240 km to the border) – the most popular and closest option.

Mui Ne: Cambodia (~410 km to the border). Convenient to reach the border with Cambodia.

The cost of a car Visa Run from Nha Trang to Laos can vary, but here's an average simple calculation:

• Car rental (including additional services like travel outside of Khanh Hoa and more than 200km per day): from 1,000,000 VND

• Fuel: from 1,300,000 VND

• Food (for two): 200,000 VND

• Formalities (per person): from 100,000 VND

In total, it starts from 2,600,000 VND per car.

It’s cost-effective to split this amount with friends. For example, when 4 people travel, it amounts to about 700,000 VND per person. For a group of 7, the cost per person will be even less.

The duration of a Visarun by car in Vietnam can vary depending on the starting point and the destination. For example, from Nha Trang to Laos, the journey takes approximately 750 km each way. Factoring in border formalities and potential stops, a typical Visa Run can be completed in 1-2 days. It's essential to plan for an early start, especially if you aim to return the same day. The actual time spent at the border for visa processing can vary but usually takes about 1-3 hours.

The best car rental options for a Visarun in Vietnam are as follows: Kia Morning, Hyundai Accent, Kia K3, Mazda 3 for 4 or fewer passengers. Or Mitsubishi Xpander, Suzuki Ertiga, Suzuki XL7, Hyundai Stargazer for 4-7 passengers.

The journey usually takes about 3-4 hours, assuming good road conditions.

It is recommended to depart no later than 3:30 AM to enjoy the sunrise on the route.

On average, it takes about 20 liters of fuel to cover the distance of approximately 140 kilometers.

It is recommended not to exceed a speed of 60 km/h due to the winding and hazardous nature of mountain serpentine roads.

Usually, you can encounter around two police checkpoints along the route, so it is important to always have your vehicle documents with you.

The best day to depart is mid-week to avoid traffic jams. It's better to return to Nha Trang in the evening to avoid morning and evening traffic.

With VinRent, you receive high-quality service, flexible route and stop options, ensuring a comfortable and memorable journey.

Besides the main route via QL27C road, alternative routes through mountain villages and plateaus can be considered.

VinRent offers a wide range of cars, including compact, family, and SUVs, suitable for any journey.

It is recommended to use child car seats and have motion sickness remedies, considering the winding nature of mountain roads.

To reach Yang Bay from Nha Trang, head south on Highway QL1A, then turn onto DT652 Road. Follow the signs to Yang Bay, and the trip will take about 1.5 to 2 hours. The distance is approximately 60-80 kilometers, and it is recommended to travel early in the morning to avoid traffic. Ensure your vehicle is well-fueled and carry all necessary documents for a smooth journey.

The entrance ticket costs from 100,000 VND to 250,000 VND. There is a separate fee for car entry ranging from 300,000 VND to 500,000 VND. Free carts are available for transportation within the park.

Both. Send your flight number for an airport handover, or an address — hotel, apartment, homestay — and we bring the car to the door.
