For the unprepared traveler planned before; however, car rental costs and services can be a rude shock and a blow to that vacation budget.Renting a vehicle for your vacation will probably be the most expensive part of your budget, so understanding the terms and managing expectations is very important.
The information below is not meant to be an exhaustive manual, but it should set you on the path towards an informed decision for your car rental with basic English speaking driver in Vietnam.
Why is car rental so budget while hiring in Vietnam?
The visitors from outside of Saigon Vietnam are often surprised by the cost of car rental. While hotel rooms, restaurant bills and tours are higher than the prices paid at home or other countries, it may appear strange that car rental should be more costly.
The compare of the cost between the Vietnam and other countries as below:
All vehicles in Saigon Vietnam are imported and a tax is free of charged. Due to this slightly taxation, the cost of purchasing a vehicle is lower than it would be in other industrialized countries. There are some car rental manufacture who rent new model vehicles in order to give the best transportation for your trip, holiday or vacation.
The cost of mandatory insurance from another countries (see below).
• Mandatory Insurance :
Third-party insurance, which may be known as TPI, PDW (Partial Damage Waiver), SLI (Supplementary Liability Insurance) and other acronyms, is a legal requirement. Car rental operators must charge the customer for this coverage which may or may not be clear in the quotation received by the customer.
The insurance itself is not the issue. After all, many other countries require car renters to pay a mandatory insurance; including: Singapore, The US, Hong Kong, China, Canada .., The issue that causes contention in Vietnam is that this cost is not always displayed clearly on the car rental operator's website or in a quote. Customers then discover the additional cost of their rental upon arrival.
The cost of mandatory insurance varies from company to company and will depend on the car category that is being rented as well. The cost for a small sedan may be as little as $12 per day, whereas a premium 4x4 vehicle, SUVs could be as much as $19 for insurance per day. This is in addition to the rental cost.
Credit cards in Singapore usually offer car insurance as an additional perk to the credit card holder and so Singapore in particular, are unused to having to pay for insurance on top of rental costs. However, no credit card will cover this insurance requirement.
Do ask if the given quote includes third-party insurance and check the prices on the car rental operator's website.

• Collision Damage Waiver
This is not insurance, but a waiver. The basic level will come with a deductible that varies, but could be as much as $100,00 ( USD) . For a higher daily rate, a zero deductible CDW may be purchased to relieve the renter of any financial responsibility in case of damage to, or theft thereof, the vehicle.
Many renters will obtain their CDW through their credit card. However, it is worth noting that the responsibility for making any insurance claim is on the customer and not with the car rental operator.
Some renters may choose to purchase additional in-house coverage to avoid having this responsibility.
There will be car rental agencies which hard sell their own coverage plans through guaranteeing peace of mind, but ultimately, this is the renter's decision. It is worth remembering that car rental company employees, like in other parts of the world, will sometimes earn commission for insurance sales.
If the customer's credit card does not provide CDW, the customer will be required to purchase this in-house coverage.
Car rental operators require written proof that the customer's credit card provides CDW. Ask the car rental operator for the exact details of what they require and in what form. Some may accept a forwarded email from the credit card company, but others may ask for a printed copy to be presented at the time of rental.
• Deposit
The deposit amount required will be fixed on your base car rental cost, no surcharged,increase on the peak season in case of the Chinese New Year of the Vietnamese, cruise ship, sumner school holiday, Muslim season holidays... through a credit card. Expect to pay a much higher deposit if the in-house CDW is declined. The deposit may also depend on car model rented. This amount, which will be held on the renter's credit card until the end of the rental period, can be from $250 up to as much as $500. The deposit should take no more than five days to be refunded to the credit card on the vehicle's return. our company also will accept debit cards for deposit hold, but the return time for this amount can take weeks.
Do ensure that the deposit is calculated in the vacation budget as an unexpected hold of a few thousand dollars on a credit card could otherwise severely cut into vacation spending.
• Airport Transfers
Customers will be offer free of charge for the airport transfers from 4 seats sedan to SUVs if hire a car with the Vietnam Budget Car Rental Group for minimum 3 days.
our company also has a car rental operators with a counter at Ho Chi Minh airport ( SGN), number 12 gate.
To avoid this taxi airport hidden charged and tax, our my best advise for you must book the taxi Ho Chi Minh airport transfer to hotel with us.
• Surcharges and Other Taxes
There are a number of other obligatory fees that car rental operators may add into the rental cost, display on-screen or show in the quote, or leave undisclosed until the customer's arrival. These potentially hidden costs may seem small when viewed individually, but these are typically daily rates, so they will add up fast!
These may include:
• License Plate Fee: Less than $2 daily, but differs from company to company.
• Environmental Tax: no
• Sales Tax: All sales transactions in Vietnam are subjected to a 3% government-imposed sales tax.
• Car Washing Fee: Bring back an exceptionally dirty car and the cleaning fee may be added onto the final payment. One car rental operator charges $20 for this additional service.
• Fuel Charges: If the fuel tank is not filled to the same level as it was at the start of the rental period, then the car rental company will charge (usually to the nearest eighth of a tank). This charge is dictated by the car rental operator and it is not subject to the governmentally set fuel price that would be found at any gas station.
Where Should I Reserve the Vehicle?
A common confusion for travelers booking a rental car is the discrepancy between international websites for car rental operators at the : http://www.vietnambudgetcarrental.com/main.html, please contact with us here for the same brand. Frequently the international websites are unaware of, or fail to disclose, insurances, taxes and surcharges that will be charged at the counter. This may be due to the fact that many recognized car rental operator brands in Vietnam are not a foreign branch of the branded car rental company, but instead are a franchise operation. This factor is also worth considering in terms of expectations concerning customer service and other finer details.
The Vietnam Budget Car Rental Group has an office in the US, Singapore, Hanoi,Danang may have their own style of operating, apart from the same policies and guidelines that the customer may have experienced in other parts of the world.

Understandably then, an online reservation is best made through the local website and not the international site, wherever possible. A number of companies do not have a local website. In this case, do check the details with a local staff member via the telephone and ask for written confirmation of the quote. Experience with live chat on the international websites suggests that whereas staff is trained on terms and conditions governing the main office (usually U.S.A.); they understand little of the policies that must be adhered to in Vietnam.- Car Rental Comparisons
In May/June of 2013, I compared the pricing and services of a number of car rental operators in Vietnam and published the findings. To my surprise, the article is still being plagiarized regularly across the Internet which suggests that it is still useful and so an update was required. The prices for this comparison were obtained in December 2014 and January 2015.
The ICT (Vietnam Institute of Tourism) states that there are thirty registered car rental operators with eight others pending approval. However, there are many more agencies that rent cars to visitors. The car rental operators selected are those which are most frequently used by travelers.
