Spring is considered the beginning of fresh and lucky things, the season of special festivals, and spring tourism also attracts tourists from all over the country. Most tourists rent cars to go to festivals or spiritual tours. The early days of spring are the most difficult time of the year to rent cars. To have convenient, safe, and comfortable trips, HoaBinhBus would like to share experiences of renting cars to festivals for customers to refer to.

How do I choose a car to go to a festival with how many seats?

When there is a need to rent a car to go to festivals in Hanoi or festival sites in the North, customers are often first interested in the number of seats, from 4 to 45, then the car company. With experience and brand quality, we would like to share with you how to rent a good festival car at a reasonable price to make your trip most satisfying. 

With a determined number of people, it is necessary to rent a car with suitable seats. Common vehicle sizes have the following number of seats (excluding the driver). Different car brands may have slightly different numbers of seats. Below are popular car sizes:

• With a number of guests ranging from 4 to 7 people: the best choice for you to rent a car is a 7-seat car. Currently on the car rental market in Hanoi, there are: Toyota Altis and Toyota Innova.
• With a number of guests ranging from 7 to 16 people: the best choice for you is a 16-seat car. Currently, on the car rental market in Hanoi, there are car models: Toyota Hiace, Ford Transit, and Mercedes Sprinter, of which Transit and Sprinter are the two most chosen car lines, with luxurious designs and brands suitable to the preferences and desired cost level of each car renter.
• With the number of passengers ranging from 16 to 35 people: the best choice for you to rent a car is a 24-seat to 35-seat car. Currently, on the car rental market in Hanoi, there are the following car models: Huyndai County
• With a large number of guests in groups: you can choose large cars from 35 to 45-50 seats. Currently on the car rental market in Hanoi, there are the following car models: AERO SPACE, HI-CLASS, UNIVER.

You should note that when renting a car, there are 2–5 seats more than the number of members in the group to ensure airy space in the car, and this is especially necessary in cases where you have a lot of furniture and luggage. 

It is possible to expect additional people to register to join the journey late, and there is space reserved for reclining seats for those who are susceptible to motion sickness or young children. The extra seat can also be used to store shopping items comfortably when the car returns.

Choose to drive to the festival

Customers who rent a car to go to festivals in Hanoi want an experienced driver who is familiar with the route, cheerful, friendly, and ready to answer all customers’ questions. 

That’s why you should look for a reputable car rental company in Hanoi, because a quality car rental company cannot lack experienced and professional drivers who can serve tourists and understand clear customer service principles: punctuality, pick-up and drop-off at the right meeting point, responsibility for work, etc.

Festival vehicle operators

If you choose a reputable car rental company with experienced and professional operators, customers will receive dedicated service, a free consultation, and answers to all of your questions about car rental in the most complete and accurate way.

Choose the quality of the car for the festival

The minimum conditions for a car are air conditioning and seats, so you can lean back, rest, and relax when traveling long distances. In addition, the car needs to be new, beautiful, clean, have a good sound system, and have an on-board TV to meet your needs for listening to music and watching movies. Although this service is not mandatory, if you are a professional car rental unit, this is an indispensable factor in attracting customers.

Choose a car rental price for the holiday season

The price of renting a car to go to the festival at the beginning of the year depends a lot on the type of car, the size of the car, the year of the car, and always goes along with the quality of the car rental service, so the car companies will let you know which price is the cheapest and how to rent. 

Which car is the most cost-effective? The time to rent is also very important because prices will be very high during the festive season at the beginning of the year, during holidays, or during long vacations. 

The best way is to ask for prices from car rental companies you know. Or you can search on the internet for preliminary prices, then call to discuss details. Try searching on Google, and you’ll see a lot of festival car rental websites.  

Car rental contract for the festival

A contract is important when renting a car. In it, it is necessary to clearly state the information of both parties, including the vehicle type, schedule, price, rights, and responsibilities of the parties. The information that needs to be clearly stated is the car type, car year, and, if possible, what you request. 

Please write down the license plate number to be sure. Ideally, customers should come see the car before making a contract. If you only look at photos or listen to the car owner’s introduction, you cannot know reality. For example, it is difficult to know if the car is clean, if it smells, etc.

Choose a car rental company to go to the festival

There are hundreds of offices and car rental companies in the Hanoi market. There are many ways to find a reliable car rental address for festivals. You can search through Google or through good newspapers based on your own car rental experience or the introduction of a partner by a relative. 

Each car rental business has its own way of creating advantages to attract customers, such as: having the cheapest car rental price in the Hanoi market, having the most cars in the market, renting the car for the longest time… But the most important thing is the business reputation, experience, and brand of the car rental.

A reputable car rental business always provides a sufficient number of cars, service quality is committed, and the company’s customer base is large and stable. HoaBinhBus specializes in renting cars from 4 seats to 45 seats in Hanoi at the cheapest prices.

Some things to note when renting a car during the holiday season 

Renting a car necessarily requires a contract agreement between both parties. And to ensure the rights of renters, especially during the early spring festival season, you should include a penalty clause in the contract if the car owner does not provide the right type of car at the right time.

Because the purpose is to serve the festival, to have fun, and to enjoy life, you should be careful with cheap cars because they are likely to come with unreliable quality. The safest way is to look at the car first, and if it’s okay, make a rental contract for that car.

You should discuss information in advance with the driver – the person who will pick you up and is responsible for the safety of the entire trip. And if possible, please agree with the driver from the beginning of the trip on contents such as: schedule, route, contact information of the tour leader, speed requirements (don’t go too fast)…

For a large group of people on a long journey, remember to tell the driver to estimate the amount of time for the group to stop to rest, drink water, and go to the bathroom. This is very important when there are elderly people or young children in the car.
