Renting a car in Vietnam is a tricky business. Neither national nor international driver's licenses are in use here. The only way to get the right to drive a car in Vietnam is to get a local driver's license for two months. But this is, firstly, additional expenses, and secondly, additional difficulties, which not everyone will want to spend precious vacation days on. Motorcycles in Vietnam are offered for rent more often than cars, but they also require a local license.
At the same time, the traffic in Vietnam is crazy, and driving here without training will be difficult and very dangerous. Not to mention that outside the city you will hardly find paved roads. Besides, when renting a car in Vietnam insurance is not issued, and for any accident you will be responsible only yourself. And even the equipment here is always in a state of disrepair
Car rental prices in Vietnam range from 25 to 500 USD per day, depending on the class of car. Renting a motorcycle will cost you from 4 to 7 USD per day, depending on the city where you rent it.
The cost of a liter of gasoline in Vietnam is 22000 VND, which is approximately equal to 1 USD.
On most roads in Vietnam, the speed limit starts at 100 km/h. Otherwise, traffic rules in Vietnam are not particularly different from those in Europe. The problem is that locals practically do not observe them, turning the situation on the roads into a frightening and very dangerous attraction. Add to that not always serviceable vehicles and poor quality roads and you will hardly want to risk self-driving.
In addition, fines for traffic rules in Vietnam are very high, moreover, if you find yourself the culprit of an accident, you risk being behind bars for a period of 3 to 10 years. And for the death of one of the participants in the accident, you can end up in prison for 20 years.
