Self-Drive Car Rental in Saigon — Sign Once, Drive Freely
Most car rental platforms in Vietnam work like this: you message a stranger on an app, wire a deposit, and hope for the best. We do it differently.
Xe Hang Xom runs a real office — 5 minutes from Tan Son Nhat Airport. You come in, meet the team, sign a proper rental agreement, and pay your deposit face-to-face. After that, everything is on your terms: keyless pickup, 24/7 access, no one to call, no one to wait for.
One visit. Then complete freedom.

1. Why We Ask You to Visit Our Office First
We know some rental services let you complete everything through an app. For Vietnamese residents who already know the system, that works well. For international visitors — especially first-timers in Vietnam — we recommend a quick office visit, and here is why:
It protects you. You see the car in person (or confirm delivery details), read the contract in English, understand exactly what the deposit covers, and leave with a signed copy. No ambiguity about damage liability, fuel policy, or mileage limits.
It protects the car owner. Our platform connects you with private car owners — real people, not a corporation. A signed agreement gives both sides clear terms.
It takes 15–20 minutes. Our office is at 5–7 Hoàng Việt, Phường 4, Tân Bình — a 5-minute taxi ride from Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Most customers stop by on the way from the airport to their hotel.
Already comfortable with the platform and verified your documents online in advance? We can arrange car delivery directly to your hotel without an office visit. Contact us via Messenger to confirm eligibility.
2. Pick Up and Return — How It Works
Office visit (recommended for first-time international customers):
Our office is at 5–7 Hoàng Việt, Tân Bình — a 5-minute taxi ride from Tan Son Nhat. Most customers stop here on the way from the airport to their hotel.

- At the end of your trip → return the car to the office
- Deposit refunded immediately upon inspection — cash or bank transfer
Pre-verified online (for returning customers or those who set up the account before arriving):
Complete document verification and deposit payment online before landing. The car is delivered to your hotel or parked at a designated location — you unlock via app and go. Return by parking the car and closing via the app; deposit is refunded to your bank within 24–48 hours.
