Traveling to Vietnam often involves a multi-week itinerary stretching from the northern mountains down to the Mekong Delta. Naturally, this means you are traveling with large, heavy international suitcases.
One of the biggest pain points for tourists heading to the coast is the uncertainty of transit space. Will my 28-inch suitcase fit in a shared van? Will I be forced to pay for an extra passenger seat just for my bags?
At Ha Lan Limousine, we completely eliminate this stress. Our Ha Lan Limousine luggage policy is designed with international travelers in mind. We combine generous, fee-free baggage allowances with custom-built vehicles that boast massive storage capacities.
Here is everything you need to know about bringing your luggage on your journey to Halong Bay.
The Problem with Standard Tourist Vans
If you book a cheap, unauthorized “tourist bus” or a standard 16-seater Ford Transit, you will quickly discover a major design flaw: they have virtually zero trunk space.
To maximize profit, budget operators cram in as many passenger seats as possible right up to the back doors. When you arrive with a large 30kg suitcase, the driver will either:
- Demand an exorbitant “oversized baggage fee.”
- Force you to keep your heavy suitcase on your lap or in the narrow aisle for 3 hours.
- Strap your expensive luggage to the roof, exposing it to rain and highway dust.
The Solution: The Spacious 10-Seat VIP Limousines
Ha Lan Limousine refuses to compromise on your comfort or the safety of your belongings. To solve the luggage crisis, we invested heavily in a premium fleet based on the Hyundai Solati chassis.
Compared to standard vans, the Hyundai Solati is significantly taller, wider, and longer. When we customize these vehicles into our signature 10-seat VIP Limousines, we intentionally leave a massive, deep rear cargo compartment.
This dedicated luggage bay is designed to securely stack multiple large international suitcases (up to 30kg / 28-30 inches) upright. Your bags stay inside the air-conditioned cabin, clean, secure, and completely out of your personal seating space.

We believe in absolute transparency. When you purchase a ticket with us, generous luggage space is already included in the price.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Will the driver help me load my heavy bags into the Limousine?
Absolutely. From the moment our transfer van picks you up at your Hanoi hotel to the moment you step out at Tuan Chau Marina, our professional drivers will handle all the lifting and loading of your heavy luggage.
2. I am doing a 2-day cruise, can I leave my big suitcase at the Ha Lan office?
Unfortunately, for security and liability reasons, we do not offer luggage storage at our transit offices. However, 99% of Halong Bay cruise operators will safely store your large luggage at their port lounge or in the hull of the ship while you enjoy your cruise.
3. Are my bags insured while in the trunk of the Limousine?
Yes, as a fully licensed and authorized transport operator, all passengers and their belongings transported within our vehicles are covered by standard commercial transit insurance.
4. What if I show up with 3 massive suitcases without telling you?
If you arrive with excessive luggage without prior notice, our driver may have to refuse the extra bags if the trunk is already full with other passengers’ belongings. Always contact our WhatsApp support in advance so we can prepare accordingly!
