Not great ride. The car beeped from the outset. On a 6 hour ride 4 hours of beeping from the car, then with 2 hours to go a different but even louder beep started and wouldn’t stop…. 5 loud beeps every 6 seconds. May not have annoyed some people, but drove me insane. Driver did apologise.

Our driver was on time, courteous and a safe driver. We were an hour or so late arriving in Ho Chi Minh City but that was due to the Tet holiday traffic.
