The Limousine 9-seater Van from Hanoi to Sapa is from a 16-seat Ford Transit. The 11-seater van is from a 16-seat Hyundai Solati. The 11-seater Limousine is slightly longer, wider, and taller than the 9-seater Limousine.

The seats divide into 03 types depending on the position, including: 02 regular seats next to the driver, 03 business class seats at the rear, and VIP seats in the middle of the van. The 9-seater Limousine has 04 VIP seats in the middle, while the 11-seater Limousine has 06 VIP seats in the middle. VIP seats of the 11-seater are smaller than the 9-seater.

You can choose your seat position as requested when booking tickets, however, the ticket prices will also vary between different seat classes.

At Viet Transfers, we only recommend customers to book middle seats for the long journey of nearly 6 hours – over 300km from Hanoi to Sapa. Because only in this position can the seat recline more, have enough legroom, and be comfortable enough for such a long distance. Customers should only book other seats when traveling in large groups or consider renting a private van for the utmost comfort.

The VIP middle seats set apart, with super-large dimensions, armrests, and can recline to approximately 45 degrees. The three business class seats at the rear of the vehicle are placed close together, with foldable armrests, reclining backs, and large dimensions, providing comfort for three adults.

The two regular seats at the front of the vehicle are smaller, without armrests, and are sized to accommodate only two average-sized adults or fewer. Furthermore, These seats are usually used for assistants or tour guides, or for passengers who suffer from severe motion sickness, as sitting in these seats can help alleviate motion sickness.
