Buying or renting a motorbike in Vietnam is a frequent question from both domestic and international tourists, particularly those visiting for the first time. Motorbike Tours of Vietnam offers comprehensive answers and detailed guidance in the article below, ensuring you make the best choice for your adventure.
First: buying a motorbike will depend on how long you plan to stay in Vietnam and how often you ride. Buying a motorbike is only really suitable for those who intend to live long-term in Vietnam (about more than 3 years and often use motorbikes). However, not all foreigners living in Vietnam can afford motorbikes. They must adapt some conditions such as having a legal employment contract, or having a letter of recommendation from a recruitment agency.
Secondly: if you don’t understand Vietnam’s traffic laws, the possibility of being fined by the police is very high. So, if you want to try new experiences, you can choose the option motorbike for rent to go sightseeing or go to the suburbs instead of buying a motorbike.
Vietnam Motorbike Tour Expert advise you to remember that scooters are suitable for short day tours and urban areas like hanoi motorbike city tours, while larger off-road bikes are best suited for long day tours and rugged terrains with examples: Ma Pi Leng Pass motorcycle tour or northeast vietnam motorcycle tours.
First of all, according to Vietnamese law, foreigners can legally rent vehicles such as motorbikes in Vietnam, as long as they have a driving license. Therefore, legally, renting a motorbike in Vietnam is completely safe.
Secondly, motorbike rental through reputable websites or stores for travel will be safer because you can be completely assured of the quality of the vehicle you rent. Moreover, these stores will often have the accompanying services such as detailed instructions on how to use a motorbike, procedures for applying for a foreign driver’s license, some laws and tips. It may cost more, but it’s necessary for your safety.
Usually, the shop owner will ask you to deposit money, passport or both to rent a tourist motorbike at the shop. Deposits range from 4-5 million VND (about 150-250 USD) depending on the price of each motorbike you choose. Therefore, finding a reputable motorbike rental address is the first thing to do to avoid being scammed.
There are two types of motorbikes used in Vietnam, including manual transmission and automatic transmission (or scooter). According to many opinions, riding a scooter will be easier than other vehicles, especially for those who are new to driving. However, you have to pay attention to one thing: scooters will be suitable for flat terrain like in Vietnamese cities. And the gear motorbike is suitable for high terrain like mountains. The rental price of a scooter will be higher than a manual transmission and so will the deposit.
Vietnam has different forms of motorbike rental depending on the store, the type of vehicle and the length of time you rent it. You can rent by the hour, by day or by month. The longer the motorbike rental period, the cheaper the price.
You can negotiate a better price if you want to rent a motorbike long-term.
According to Vietnam’s traffic laws, having a valid driving license is mandatory for all motorbike riders, including those who opt for renting a motorbike The majority of motorcycles in Vietnam have a capacity of 125cc or higher, which means you need a proper driver’s license to rent and ride a motorbike in the country.
For foreigners residing in Vietnam, it is possible to convert their national driver’s license to a Vietnamese driver’s license if it covers the necessary vehicle categories. However, if the license does not include authorization for two-wheelers, passing a test is required. The cost of taking a license test in Vietnam typically ranges from 300,000-500,000 VND (15-25 USD). Alternatively, there are service companies that offer assistance with the process for a higher fee, around 1,600,000 VND (70 USD).
It’s worth noting that converting or obtaining a Vietnamese driver’s license is a more suitable option for individuals planning to stay in Vietnam for an extended period. For foreign tourists visiting Vietnam for a shorter duration, this process can be excessively complex and time-consuming.
A reliable tourist renting motorbike shop and how to choose a suitable motorbike in Vietnam is one of the most common concerns of tourists.
The procedure for renting a motorbike in Vietnam is quite simple. There are a lot of renting motorbike shops for travel throughout the provinces. The lessor will ask you to provide some necessary information including name, nationality, hotel address, phone number to make a rental agreement. Besides, you also have to deposit some money and a passport (or passport copy). After that, the owner will guide and take you to choose a motorbike.
Although the procedure is not complicated, there is still a risk of being scam. So we’ll give you some tips to reduce the risk:
If you don’t know any locals or friends with experience in renting motorbikes in Vietnam, here’s a checklist to make sure your motorbike rental is safe and legal.
The above article is a summary of information about the dilemma between buying or renting a motorbike in Vietnam. If you intend to stay in Vietnam for a long time, buy them for maximum benefit. If you are only traveling or staying in Vietnam for a short time, renting a motorbike is the best method for you. Hopefully, the above article will provide enough knowledge for you to choose the most suitable solution for yourself.
