Road Vientiane to Luang Prabang

Thank you wilcopops for a levelheaded reply. I have read the link provided, too.

Am reasonably good driver used to curvy mountain roads, ready for it, though would prefer not to drive alone all the way.

One more thing - I'd rent something with more ground clearance than a standard sedan. Pick, preferably 4WD. You may never need 4WD but it would be a shame if you couldn't get past a road works or something just because of the road surface or clearance being too much for a car. You also will then have the opportunity to explore a little, for example around Vang Vieng or Luang Prabang, where there are some interesting excursions but mostly on dirt roads.
