Self-drive Car Rental

The distance from Noi Bai Airport to Lao Cai is quite long, so it is not easy to self-driving. However, when the Hanoi – Lao Cai expressway is open, travel becomes more convenient. Therefore, some people choose to rent a car to drive from Noi Bai to Sapa. This helps you to be more active in traveling. When coming to Sapa, you also have a vehicle to go between the destinations.

However, the price of renting a new car with the ability to run well in a long distance during a long journey is not quite cheap (from US $200 depending on the type of car). Moreover, you may have to deposit money or ask a sponsor to rent a car. Driving constantly on the road is also quite stressful, making it difficult for the driver to enjoy the trip.

 

Actually, bus and sleeper buses are the most optimal means of transport to get to Sapa from Hanoi Airport. However, there are so many car and bus companies today, which makes it difficult to choose the most suitable one. So, you should search for information about different types of vehicles before going to Sapa to have the best experience for your trip.
