MOTORBIKE RENTALS IN/FROM HANOI: DIRT BIKES, ROAD BIKES & SCOOTERS

Notes About Our Motorbike Rentals Business

We provide more fully guided tours than rentals (unguided trips) so we are likely booked up before. Therefore, please reserve your motorbike rentals with us as early as possible.

Also, note that we haven’t offered one-way rentals yet because we have only one office in Hanoi. Many clients asked if we could deliver or collect bike(s) in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City – HCMC) or anywhere other than Hanoi and we are sorry to say “NO”. All rentals start and end in Hanoi.

It’s actually not safe to rent bike(s) to inexperienced/novice rider(s) as Vietnam is not a place to learn or test your riding skills. If your riding skills are not competent, you’d better book a guided trip and ride fully escorted, much safer. If you want to hire a 250cc trail bike, make sure you are over 1.75m or have had good riding skills or ride/own one like this. Even if you send a deposit to book our bike(s), we won’t refund if you can’t ride the bike(s) reserved.

We don’t always offer 24 hours rental service. If you pick up the bike anytime before noon you pay for the full day. If you pick up at midday on the first day and return midday on the next day we charge two days, not one day. The minimum of a rental is at least 2 (two) days.

Booking Requirement

You need to send a 50% rental fee deposit before collecting the motorcycle(s), motorbike(s), or scooter(s). No deposit refund if you cancel the booking or after you pick up the rented vehicle(s). The balance will be paid when you collect the bike(s)

Which Bike?

Last yet importantly, don’t start off on an automatic, step-over scooter. These things have hair-trigger acceleration, usually, no foot brake, and the front wheel turns too easily. Start on a 110 cc bike with semi-automatic (clutchless) gears. The discipline of changing gears means you will build up to speed more slowly, and therefore, more safely. The front wheel is easier to control smoothly, and you all have that foot-break instinct from your first push bike when you were kids. And don’t fear the models with a clutch. It doesn’t take that long to get used to it, and it gives you more control and smoother shifting.

50cc SCOOTERS FOR RENT IN HANOI

If you worry about a licence that is not accepted in Vietnam or you have no licence at all, then this is the best option to consider. Despite the low power, small size, and poor suspension, a 50cc scooter can let you commute in town without any major issue. However, it can accommodate one rider, not with a passenger. Take it slow, do it right and you will have fun riding it.
