FAQS

1. How is traffic in Vietnam?

Some foreigners say traffic in Vietnam is “Busy”, “Crazy”, “Funny” or “Amazing”… and It’s no rules for traffic here, however, motorbikes, and scooters are still always kings of the Vietnam road…All of our tours are guided by local experienced riders who know the traffic well and will show you the local traffic rules just to ride as safely as possible What’s more, we will ride you on our safe way by taking you out of busy traffic or taking a muddy, narrow but safe road with a special view.

2. Where to buy insurance for motorcycle trips in Vietnam?

The biggest insurance company in Vietnam is the Bao Viet Insurance (National Insurance Company). They are big in Vietnam but they won’t cover anything for this kind of trip if you have no Vietnamese motorbike riding license. To get a Vietnamese motorcycle license or convert your license to a Vietnamese one is complicated and takes plenty of time to do paperwork and wait (from 5- 10 working days). It’s complicated becasuse you need to have at least 3 month resident visa and you need to be here to do payperwork yourself.
Therefore, the suggestion is that you’d better buy insurance in your home country before coming on tour by motorbike in Vietnam. Below is the recommendation from the riders who do tour with us: CoverMore Insurance (https://www.covermore.com/), QBE Insurance (https://www.qbe.com.au/) or Seven Corners ( https://www.sevencorners.com/) or (https://www.oldoakinsurance.co.uk/)
