Vietnam car rental guide

Every vehicle carries compulsory third-party injury insurance (up to 150,000,000 VND per person, approx. 8.14M KRW) and own-damage insurance.

Own-damage insurance has no fixed payout ceiling. The insurer investigates the cause and fault of each accident and then decides how much of the repair it pays, which may be less than the full amount.

A fixed claim fee of 500,000 VND (approx. 27,000 KRW) applies per accident, and whatever the insurer does not pay is the customer’s responsibility.

The Peace-of-Mind Guarantee is not insurance. It is RIDICAR paying, on your behalf, the amount the insurer does not cover, up to 4,000,000 KRW per accident and per rental in total. A customer deductible of 300,000 KRW still applies.

Not covered by the guarantee: damage to tires, side mirrors or similar single parts on their own, flood and water-hammer damage, normal wear, corrosion and mechanical failure. The local insurance excludes these as well.

The guarantee does not apply where the insurance itself is void: intentional damage, driving without a valid or matching licence, driving under alcohol or drugs, expired vehicle inspection, exceeding seating or load limits by 50%, serious traffic violations such as wrong-way driving or running a red light, failing to report or reporting late, leaving the scene, war and natural disaster.

Exact coverage follows the local contract you sign when you pick up the car.

You can receive the vehicle at a pickup zone, the airport, or a designated location.

Changing the return location may incur an extra fee, so it needs to be arranged in advance.

Availability of add-ons such as child seats can vary depending on the vehicle and partner. Let us know the items you need when you submit your booking request.
