Things to note when renting a self-drive car for Tet holiday

Renting a self-drive car during the Lunar New Year is a solution chosen by many families who do not have the conditions to own a car. However, to rent a car at a reasonable price and with guaranteed quality is not a simple matter.

Here are some notes that self-driving car renters need to "keep in mind":

Determine the right rental purpose

Like many other services and products, before renting a self-driving car, you need to estimate the distance, time, terrain and number of passengers.

After determining the purpose of use, users can easily choose the appropriate service package and car model. The car rental service package by kilometer is suitable for those who need to rent a car for a long time but do not travel too much. The car rental package by day has no travel distance limit, suitable for customers who need to rent a car for travel and frequent use.

Book early

You should research and book a car rental early to proactively plan and receive more preferential prices during the days before Tet.

Prepare documents

When renting a car, customers need to prepare full documents such as driver's license, citizen identification card, and collateral. Depending on the car rental company, collateral can be cash or other valuable assets.

Check vehicle documents

Renters need to check the vehicle registration, inspection certificate, insurance... before renting a self-driving car.

Vehicle inspection

Checking the condition of the car is an important step when renting a self-drive car. You should carefully check the car body, note scratches, dents, mirrors, headlights... to negotiate.

In addition, you should ask for a test drive to evaluate the vehicle's performance. The renter should also carefully check the current mileage. Absolutely do not rent a car that is too old or too old because it is prone to breakdown.

Read the lease carefully

After checking the vehicle in detail, you need to carefully review the rental contract. Pay attention to the binding terms in the contract to avoid losses when conflicts arise later. The rental contract must clearly state the rental price, rental form, rental period, additional costs (if any)... To be sure, you should ask the rental unit to make a record verifying the current condition of the vehicle as a reference when returning the vehicle.

Return the car

At the end of the rental period, the renter needs to carefully check the entire vehicle and confirm the mileage with the service provider (if calculated by km). The lessor usually checks the vehicle very carefully before receiving it back. If an incident occurs and the lessor requests compensation, the lessor needs to calmly review the terms and compare the images and documents when receiving the vehicle to see if the error was caused by the lessee.
