information online said only International Driving License from countries that signed the 1968 convention are accepted.

QUOTE
Only the 1968 International Driving Permit (IDP) is valid for use in Vietnam. Other types of international driver’s licenses, including the IAA driving license, are not.Sixty-seven countries are signatories of the 1968 Convention.

Some countries are not signatories of the 1968 Convention but abide by the 1949 Geneva Convention, such as Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Canada, the USA, and the UK. Those citizens living in the countries not included in the 1968 Convention cannot drive in Vietnam even with IDP.


but Malaysia did not sign this convention.

QUOTE
The convention has been ratified by 83 countries/jurisdictions.[8] Examples of countries/jurisdictions that have not ratified the Convention include Australia, Canada, China, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand, and the United States.

These two exceptions are ASEAN Driving Licenses and International Driving Permits governed by 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.A driver’s license from any of the other ASEAN member nations has a limited validity in Vietnam.Of course, even if ASEAN driver’s licenses may be recognized in certain circumstances as valid in Vietnam, it is still best to obtain a local Vietnamese driver’s license as soon as you can.


so can an ASEAN driving license be used in Vietnam or not?

Hope people who have experienced renting car in Vietnam can help, thanks. JimBeamofNRT

Precisely.

They don't recognize our IDP. In order to drive/ride you have to get a local license or get a your IDP/license certified.

Otherwise just prepare some cash.
