Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Dalat by private car
Dalat (also written Da Lat) sits in the cool Central Highlands, about 320 km from Saigon. The road takes the expressway to Dau Giay, then Highway 20 over the Bao Loc pass and the Lien Khuong – Prenn road into the city. The electric car makes one 30–40 minute charging stop around halfway, a good moment for lunch or a coffee in Bao Loc. Electric cars are quiet and smooth on mountain passes, with no fuel smell — easier for anyone who gets car sick.
Fixed price per car
Included: one-way tolls, charging, Wi-Fi, water. Staying longer: + 800,000₫ per extra day for the 7-seater. No deposit — pay the driver after the trip in cash (VND) or by bank transfer. USD prices are approximate.

Going back · charging
Going back down to Saigon? Choose the opposite direction in the form — same price. Downhill the electric car recharges its battery, and we can drop you at Tan Son Nhat airport.
The trip is about 320 km, so the electric car stops once for 30–40 minutes at a charging station — a good break for food and the toilet.
