If you are planning to go on a 2 weeks in Vietnam itinerary, what do you want to do yet? In this guide, Vietnam Trust Car Rental provides the detailed journey of the 14-day route from the beauty spots of the north to the heritage-rich central coast and the hustle and bustle of the south. You experience the journey with a Vietnam car rental service, replacing public transport like trains, sleeping buses, or the expense of flights. 

Why should you rent a private car with a driver for 14 days in Vietnam? 

Hiring a private car is the best option for traveling in Vietnam. You should consider this problem to not affect the schedule. 

With a private car, tourists can stop anywhere or anytime on the way. You can have time to see sights, enjoy Vietnamese coffee or go to the toilet. 

If it is your first time traveling to Vietnam, you will be so soaked in the traffic jam and the weather, making you tired and exhausted. Especially when you mutilate the public. Relax and enjoy the car with an air-conditioned and comfortable chair that keeps your energy well. 

The journey in 14 days in Vietnam, you will misplace things in bus holds or train cabins. However, renting a private Vietnam car with a driver, the luggage stays safe in your trunk. 

Besides, you can save about 3-4 hours/day with public transport without waiting for anyone or transiting to stations.
