KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Hanoi

  • A major advantage of renting cheap car rentals in Hanoi is the flexibility and independence it provides. Hanoi is a bustling city, and navigating it can be overwhelming, especially for tourists. Renting a car provides you with easy navigation, allowing you to drive to different places without having to navigate unfamiliar bus routes. Hanoi car rentals also give you access to remote destinations that may be challenging to visit using public transport. For instance, you can drive to the stunning Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or the Tam Dao National Park, famous for its hiking trails.
  • Hanoi Noibai International Airport (HAN) is the only major airport serving Hanoi and is approximately 18 miles away. There are several rental car companies located at the airport, including Avis, Europcar, Budget, and Hertz. The rental car desks are located in the arrivals areas of both the domestic and international terminals. There is no dedicated shuttle service to the rental car garages, but most companies offer complimentary shuttle service to their nearby garages upon request. Customers can call the rental car company upon arrival at the airport to arrange the shuttle pick-up.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Hanoi can be a challenging and chaotic experience, especially for those who are not familiar with the local driving style. One of the most significant things you'll encounter on Hanoi's roads is a large number of motorbikes, bicycles, and pedestrians. These road users often display a relaxed attitude towards traffic rules, and you'll need to watch out for people crossing the roads or riding the wrong way down one-way streets. Trucks and buses can also be a problem, as they take up a lot of space on crowded roads and can cause congestion.
  • Rush hour traffic can be particularly difficult in Hanoi, with peak hours occurring from 6:30 am - 8:30 am and 4 pm -6:30 pm. During these times, roads such as Nguyen Trai, Tran Duy Hung, and To Hieu can be extremely congested. While there is no winter snow season in Hanoi, there are times of year when weather can impact driving conditions. The rainy season generally runs from May to October, and heavy rain can lead to flooded streets and slippery road conditions. In addition, Hanoi is known for its misty and foggy weather during the winter months, which can decrease visibility on the roads.
  • Book your rental car in Hanoi at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Hanoi are around 13% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Hanoi?

    When choosing Hanoi car rentals, it is recommended to choose a compact car. The reason why a compact car is essential in Hanoi is that the roads in the city can be quite narrow, and parking can be challenging. A smaller vehicle allows you to navigate through the tight spaces and fit into smaller parking spots. It also makes it easier to turn corners and drive through the numerous alleyways and small roads in the city.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hanoi?

    The speed limit in Hanoi varies depending on the road type and the zone. In general, the maximum speed limit in urban areas is 50 km/h (31 mph) for cars and motorcycles. However, some roads may have a lower speed limit, such as 30 km/h (19 mph) in residential areas or 40 km/h (25 mph) on smaller streets. On national highways, the speed limit is typically 60-80 km/h (37-50 mph) but can go up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on certain stretches of road with good conditions.

  • Where are the best places to park in Hanoi?

    It is best to plan to pay for parking cheap car rentals in Hanoi. Be prepared to pay around 5,000 VND (less than 0.25 USD) per hour for on-street parking in central areas of the city. Private parking lots or garages can be more expensive, with rates ranging from ₫10,000 to 50,000 ($0.50 - 2.20) per hour, depending on the location and the level of security provided. Another parking option in Hanoi is to use public parking lots, which can be found at the entrances of most commercial buildings and shopping centers. These typically have attendants on duty and are relatively affordable.
