Things to know when making a car rental contract

Are you preparing for a family trip, an important business trip or an exciting weekend picnic? Whatever your purpose, choosing a suitable car to accompany you is extremely important. And to make the trip truly complete and secure, an indispensable "talisman" is a car rental contract.

Many of My Tam Travel's customers often joke that reading a contract is "more difficult" than planning a trip. Understanding that, today, My Tam Travel will sit down with you, as a companion, to "decode" everything you need to know when making a car rental contract. Let's explore together so that each of your journeys begins with trust and ends with a satisfied smile!

Why is a Car Lease Agreement So Important?

Have you ever wondered why we need a binding paper with so many terms? A car rental contract is, in essence, an agreement between parties recognized by law. [1] It is not only a procedure, but also a shield to protect your rights and ours.

• Everything is transparent: From price, schedule, vehicle type to each party's responsibilities are clearly stated. This helps avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings and disputes later.
• Peace of mind on the road: When everything is clear on paper, you can completely relax and enjoy the trip, whether it's a tour to explore Mui Ne or a sudden car rental trip to the province .
• Solid legal basis: In case of unexpected incidents, the contract is an important basis for resolving the problem fairly and reasonably.

At My Tam Travel, we always believe that a professional car rental service must start with a transparent contract.

"Examine" the Car Rental Contract Carefully - Golden Terms to Note

Now, let’s take a look at the important parts of a car rental contract. These are the points that you need to read carefully before signing.

1. "Identifying" Information - Tenant and Landlord

The first and most basic thing is the information of the parties involved. [5] Make sure that the contract is complete and accurate:

• My Tam Travel information: Company name (My Tam Travel and Trading Company Limited), address, tax code, representative.
• Your information: Full name, ID card number, address, contact phone number.

This ensures the legality and responsibility of both parties throughout the car rental process.

2. "Main Character" of the Trip - Vehicle Information

The car will be your companion, so check carefully the information about "it" in the contract:

• Car type, car brand, car model: Is it a compact 4-seater for a small family, a spacious 7-seater for a group of friends, or even a classy  9-seater Limousine ?
• License plate number, paint color, chassis number, engine number: This information must match 100% with the vehicle you receive. 

Tip from My Tam Travel: Before receiving the car, take a look around, take photos or videos of the car's condition (tires, interior, odometer). [9] This will help you avoid problems with existing scratches when returning the car.

3. The "Delicate" Issue - Rental Price and Cost

This is the part that most people are most concerned about. A clear contract should state:

• Car rental price: Clearly state the rental price (by day, by trip, or for a full package ). [6] You can refer to our car rental price list in advance to get an overview.
• Costs included: The contract should clearly state what is included in the rental price (e.g. driver's salary, fuel within the allowance, road tolls). [10]
• Additional costs: Fees that may arise outside the contract such as overtime fees, extra kilometers, and overnight fees (if any) should also be clearly stated. [11]
• Payment method: How much deposit? When is the balance due? Cash or bank transfer? [12]

4. Trip Itinerary - Time and Location

To ensure the trip goes smoothly, the contract should detail:

• Time: Date, time of pick up and drop off.
• Location: Pick-up point, destination and stops (if any) during the trip.
• Travel route: Especially important for car rental tours or multi-day trips.

This helps My Tam Travel drivers serve you best and avoid future disputes about the route.

5. Rights and Responsibilities - Commitments from Both Sides

This is an important provision to ensure fairness. [3]

• My Tam Travel's responsibilities:
  • Provide the correct vehicle type and model as committed.
  • Ensure the vehicle is always in good technical condition, clean and safe.
  • Providing professional drivers who are familiar with the roads and always put your safety first. This is the criteria for a reliable and safe driver .
• Your (the lessee's) responsibilities:
  • Use the vehicle for the agreed purpose.
  • Do not carry prohibited or overloaded goods.
  • Maintain general cleanliness in the vehicle.
  • Notify My Tam Travel immediately if any incident occurs.

6. Other Terms

• Insurance: The contract should clearly state the types of insurance applicable to the vehicle and passengers. [8]
• Termination/Cancellation of Contract: The cancellation policy from both parties and the compensation fee (if any) should be clarified. [5] You can refer to our Policy page for more information.
