The best time to book a car in Hanoi

Booking car hire in Hanoi around three weeks in advance is a smart move to secure the best deals. August usually offers the cheapest rates, allowing you to stretch your travel budget further. Availability can be affected by major events like Tet Nguyen Dan, so if your trip coincides with any festivities, make your reservations even earlier.

What you'll need when hiring a car in Hanoi

Hanoi is a great destination for exploring by car, with its bustling streets and numerous attractions. In Vietnam, the minimum driving age is 18, but each car hire provider on Skyscanner may have its own minimum rental age requirements. Many providers impose young driver surcharges for those under certain ages. To hire a car, you'll need a valid driving licence, and an International Driving Permit might also be necessary. Skyscanner can help you compare different providers to find the best deal for your trip to Hanoi, ensuring you comply with all documentation requirements.

Car hire in Hanoi: top tips for driving in Vietnam

Driving in Hanoi can be an adventure, especially with traffic flowing on the right. Be mindful of speed limits: up to 120 km/h on highways, 90 km/h on expressways, 80 km/h on country roads, and 60 km/h in the city. Google Maps provides comprehensive coverage, making navigation easier. For scenic drives, consider a trip to Ha Long City, approximately 159 kilometres away, taking about 2.5-3 hours. A longer journey to Sapa covers around 319 kilometres and typically takes 6-7 hours. For a shorter excursion, Ninh Binh is just 95 kilometres away, with an estimated travel time of 1.5-2 hours.
