10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Northern Vietnam

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilising filters on Expedia can assist you in locating the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary significantly based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to manoeuvre and park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.
