KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ho Chi Minh City

  • Ho Chi Minh City offers numerous attractions and sites, from the colonial period (French colony) to the Vietnam war, and a hire car is a suitable mode of transport. Car hire in Ho Chi Minh City allows you to explore the city sites, such as the Chu Chi tunnels, at your convenience. You can easily plan your day around traffic and what you want to do, as the car takes you where public transport can’t and in the least possible time.

  • You can pick up your hire car from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) and drive approximately 6 km to Ho Chi Minh City. The airport has a car park where you pay upon exiting the airport.

Motorcycles are a popular mode of transport, and the riders do not necessarily abide by the road rules.

In addition, plan and allocate enough time for your journey.
