Top tips for renting a car in Laos

  • There are many more miles of unpaved than paved roads in Laos, and the condition of the road network in the country varies considerably. You may want to consider how long you’ll actually need to rent a car in Laos. Motorcycles and tuk tuks are more common modes of transportation within cities, and if you use a rental only for long trips, you’ll save yourself rental fees as well as petrol money.
  • If you rent a car in Laos, you are certain to discover that parking your vehicle may be a unique experience, due to the rules that are peculiar to the country. For example, there are streets where parking is only allowed on odd number days (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) and those where parking is allowed on even number days (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.); but roads with black and white bars painted on are safe to park on any occasion.
  • There are no rental car agencies in Laos that allow for cross-border travel, so if you wish to cross into Thailand or Cambodia, for example, you will have to do so using other means of public or private transportation. Additionally, some companies like Sixt do not make allowances for one-way rental. If you choose one of these companies, you’ll have to return your vehicle to the location from which it was rented.
  • For those who enjoy hours on the road exploring exotic villages and popular tourist attractions, traveling around Laos in your rental car should prove to be a rewarding experience. The route from Luang Prabang via Vang Vieng to the city of Vientiane in the northern part of the country is a favorite with visitors, or you can get a map and plan your own customized road trip.
  • Small rental cars in Laos are around 33% cheaper than other car types, on average
