Hidden Costs When Buying a New Car

Beyond the sticker price, be prepared for various additional expenses. Xe Tải Hà Nội outlines these “hidden” costs:

1. Registration Fee

This mandatory fee is payable when registering a new vehicle. The current registration fee in Hanoi is 10% of the car’s value.

For example, if you purchase a Hyundai HD120S truck for 500 million VND at Hyundai Truong Chinh dealership, the registration fee will be 50 million VND.

2. Vehicle Registration and License Plate Fees

This includes:

  • Vehicle registration fee: ranging from 150,000 to 400,000 VND depending on the vehicle type.
  • License plate fee: from 150,000 VND to 2,000,000 VND depending on the region.

3. Compulsory Civil Liability Insurance

Civil Liability Insurance (TNDS) is mandatory for all motor vehicle owners. Annual premiums for 4-9 seater cars range from 480,700 VND to 1,126,000 VND.

4. Voluntary Insurance

Besides compulsory TNDS insurance, consider purchasing voluntary insurance like comprehensive car insurance or personal accident insurance for more comprehensive protection.

5. Vehicle Registration Service Fees

If you prefer not to handle the registration process yourself, opt for a comprehensive registration service, costing between 1,000,000 VND and 3,000,000 VND.

6. Other Miscellaneous Costs

Factor in additional costs like:

  • Road maintenance fee: 1,560,000 VND/year
