When renting a car, you should check the documents carefully.

Before receiving the car from the lessor, you should check the documents and the interior and exterior of the car to avoid disputes in case of unfortunate events.

The documents you need to check are: Vehicle registration, insurance, circulation period... Because if the registration is missing or expired, it will cause you trouble when the authorities ask to present the documents.

Along with that, you also need to check the interior and exterior of the car to see if the car is damaged or scratched. You should also check some details of the car: lights, tires, horn, seats, spare tire... before the owner hands over the car.

Finally, check the current mileage, fuel level and take a test drive to see how the engine is performing. You should also not attempt to repair the car yourself when it has a problem, but contact and discuss with the owner first.

In particular, there should be a written confirmation of the date and time of receiving and returning the vehicle to avoid disputes about late fines later.

3. Determine the vehicle model that suits your needs

Along with renting a car early, determining your needs to choose the right car will help you have an enjoyable and economical Tet journey.

Before renting a car, you should determine whether you need a Sedan, SUV, pickup truck or MPV... And to determine this, you can base it on a number of criteria: Destination, distance, good or bad road conditions and finally the number of passengers.

4. Choose the right rental package

After determining the car model and rental period, you should calculate the time and distance to choose the appropriate rental type - daily or km. In case you rent by day but are limited in kilometers, you should find out how much the extra fee is for 1 km, to avoid "arguing" between the two parties after returning the car.

5. Necessary documents when renting a car

To make the car rental contract signing smooth and quick, when renting a car you need to prepare the following documents: Driver's license, citizen identification card, household registration book or other collateral. In addition, the renter can also make a commitment to guarantee payment to the car owner according to the agreement of both parties.

6. Read the car rental contract carefully and pay attention to the terms binding both parties.

To avoid disputes, when making a deposit and signing a car rental contract, the renter needs to carefully read the content and terms of the contract: Compensation arising in cases of late return of the car, failure to deliver the correct type of car, compensation level in case of car accident, fines, traffic violations...
