The Ultimate Guide to Test-Driving Your Dream Car Without Breaking the Bank

You don’t have to be rich to experience the daily thrill of driving

Preparing to welcome a new family member, Mr. Thanh Tung, from Dong Da, Hanoi, was determined to buy a car to ensure safe and comfortable daily commutes. However, almost all of his and his wife’s savings had gone into paying for their house.

Introduced to the long-term car rental service by his friends, Mr. Tung decided to try out FGF – a company specializing in buying and selling VinFast electric cars and offering self-drive rental services founded by billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong. After signing a long-term contract for a VF 5 Plus at VND 13 million per month, Mr. Tung realized that owning a car was much easier than he thought. Instead of waiting to accumulate enough finances, customers like him could immediately “own” any car model they desired.

“The emergence of flexible rental models like FGF has solved my dilemma of when I’ll have enough money to buy a car. For now, I’ll have a car to take my family around, and I’ll consider buying one when I’m financially ready,” shared Mr. Tung.

Renting a car also saves users significant time and money by eliminating the need for registration procedures, insurance packages, and periodic maintenance.

“Renting from FGF is even more advantageous due to their unique ‘3 No’s’ policy in the market: no fuel costs as charging is free until July 1, 2025, no worries about warranty-maintenance-procedures, and no unpleasant odors. Apart from the fixed monthly rental cost, I don’t have to pay any additional operating expenses,” Mr. Tung shared.

The privilege of “liking a car and driving it immediately”

Mr. Duy Anh from Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, a seasoned user of car rental services, believes that there’s one privilege unique to renters – the ability to drive any car they like immediately. This advantage has contributed to the flourishing of rental services in developed countries.

Similarly, with FGF’s flexible rental service, customers can choose to rent any car model they prefer. FGF offers a diverse range of electric vehicles, from the family-oriented VF 5 Plus and VF 6 to the sporty VF 7, the luxurious VF 8, and the business-class VF 9. For only VND 800,000 per day or VND 13 million per month, customers can experience the feeling of “a rented car like your own” and have complete freedom to use the vehicle according to their needs.

FGF goes the extra mile to cater to their customers’ needs by offering daily, monthly, and yearly rental packages. This allows renters to easily upgrade to a newer model whenever they wish, without the hassle of selling their old car or going through complicated procedures. Moreover, customers can conveniently book their FGF rental car through various online (website, app, phone) and offline (pick-up point) platforms.

“The flexibility of renting a car is fantastic; you get to experience different models and new technologies. It’s entirely feasible to own a new car every few months or each year,” analyzed Mr. Duy Anh.

Mr. Duy Anh further shared that car rental services are incredibly useful for making informed car-buying decisions, especially for first-time car owners. By using the rented vehicle, customers can accurately assess the car’s suitability regarding their needs and preferences.

“I love 7-seater cars, but after using one for a while, I realized it was inconvenient due to the narrow alley leading to my house. Thankfully, it was a rental, so when I bought my car, I opted for a 5-seater,” shared Mr. Xuan Tu from Tay Ho, Hanoi.

With its diverse range of smart electric vehicles, flexible procedures, and easy payment options, FGF promises to breathe new life into Vietnam’s car rental market, making it more vibrant and dynamic.
