'Money-making' services during the April 30 holiday

Car rental

This year, although having 5 days off from April 30, people are limiting their travel because of the high cost of airfare. However, the demand for car rentals during the April 30 holiday among Ho Chi Minh City residents is still very high. Therefore, this is the "money-making" season for car rental businesses. The price of self-driving car rentals in Ho Chi Minh City ranges from 800,000 to 1.2 million VND/day, depending on the type and model of the car.

Car wash

The sharp increase in people's travel needs during the holidays is also the time when car washes in Ho Chi Minh City make a lot of money. Car washes are always crowded with customers washing cars and motorbikes. This is also the time for car owners to change oil and beautify their "beloved cars" before going on long trips. Therefore, the revenue of car washes also increases dramatically thanks to the "resonance" of car wash and oil change services.

Motorbike washing prices in Ho Chi Minh City range from 25,000 - 35,000 VND/vehicle, cars from 60,000 - 100,000 VND/vehicle.
