Why are car rental prices higher on weekends than weekdays?\u003cbr\u003eThis is characteristic of the tourism transport industry. On weekends, the demand for 16-seater car rentals in HCMC surges, leading to a shortage of new vehicles. We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance to get the best price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e4.

Do I need to arrange food and accommodation for the driver when traveling to the provinces?\u003cbr\u003eTypically, customers arrange accommodation and meals for the driver to build rapport.
