Car Travel

Hiring a private driver will cost you about 2,000,000d per day and is best arranged through your hotel tour desk. Private cars are much easier to organize for midrange trips, with operators able to quote set fees for certain routes. For example, the mountainous, winding, but exceedingly beautiful 140-km (87-mile) journey from Nha Trang to Dalat costs around 2,500,000d total per car for the four- to five-hour journey. From Dalat, Lak Lake is an easy 150-km (93-mile) drive, again along some winding mountain roads, which often provide stunning views of verdant valleys. Lak Lake to Buon Ma Thuot is another easy drive, again through very pretty countryside.
