Transparent, fixed & all-inclusive pricing

When you reserve a private car Ho Chi Minh to Ben Tre with Vietnam Budget Car Rental, your rate covers all expenses including fuel, highway tolls, and driver fees. There are no hidden fees or unexpected surcharges after your journey.

Great cost efficiency for groups

Although a private car costs more than public transport, it can be an affordable and convenient option when the fare is shared among friends or family members.

Besides renting a private car, travelers can also consider other transport modes depending on their budget and travel style.

Coach (intercity bus)

For budget-conscious solo travelers, taking an intercity coach, such as Phuong Trang or Thao Chau, is a popular alternative. Coaches offer low ticket prices ranging from $4 to $8 USD per seat and run frequently throughout the day. However, passengers must travel to designated bus terminals, such as Mien Tay Bus Station in District 6, follow fixed schedules, and share space with many other passengers.

Taxi

If you need immediate, on-demand transportation, taking a metered taxi or booking a ride through an app like Grab, Be, or Xanh SM is another option. The downside is that taxi Ho Chi Minh to Ben Tre can be very expensive for long-distance trips between cities, as fares are calculated per kilometer, with highway tolls adding to the total cost.

Public bus

For travelers looking to minimize transportation costs, taking public buses is the cheapest option, with the total fare costing less than $3 USD. However, there is no direct public bus line from Ho Chi Minh City to Ben Tre. You must take Bus 628 to My Tho and then switch to another local bus to reach Ben Tre. This journey can be slow and tiring, especially if you are carrying heavy luggage in hot weather.

Motorbike

Finally, riding a motorbike along National Route 1A offers adventurous travelers the freedom to explore rural roads at their own pace. On the downside, long rides in heavy highway traffic can be tiring and stressful if you are not familiar with local roads.
