That depends where you’ll be wandering. Downtown Hai Phong, about 4 miles from Haiphong Airport (HPH-Cat Bi), can be a challenge to drive in. Make life easy by choosing something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Take into consideration that Hai Phong is an excellent base to explore many of the bays in Vietnam. If your escape is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may prefer something with a little more trunk space and room to move. What about an SUV or a full-size car?
