Motorcycle is a form of recreation in Vietnam; while locals have fun riding these two wheeled cars, tourists, especially young ones, prefer to explore every corner and mysterious and charming country on a motorcycle.
Due to the growing popularity of motorcycles among locals as well as foreigners, many agencies, mainly in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, now offer motorcycle rentals. Motor bikes are available for only $ 5-10 per day. Agents usually request your passport as a security measure and ask you to sign the form. You can exercise caution by translating it into English (the form is in Vietnamese) before signing it. Also, before zooming in, check tires, brakes and gas levels on a motorcycle. The roaring bicycle rental business is not limited to agencies only; you can even rent a bike from your hotel, and that too at lower prices.
In Hanoi, you can get good motorbikes for rent when you ride Mr. Cuong. This agency is located on Auven Street, Old Quarter. This place is highly recommended if you want to hire a Russian motorcycle "Minsk". Vietnamese Vietnam adventure tour is another place where you can rent bicycles. You can rent bicycles from your city office located on Ding-Let Street, north of Hoan Kiem Lake or from its repair shop on Tran Quang Hai Street.
Off-road Vietnam is a rental agency that is more like a tour operator. They rent Honda motorcycles only because they consider Honda more reliable than the Russian Minsk. In addition, it is easier to find Honda mechanics in remote areas if the bike breaks down. Honda also consumes less fuel and is therefore cheaper than the rest. However, they offer 90 per cent guided tours and only 10 per cent independent or unguided tours. Motorcycles should be carefully selected, as they do not return the deposit, and motorcycles can be installed for at least 4 days.
In Ho Chi Minh City, Mototours Asia and motorbike rental services in Vietnam are two reliable and reconstructed online agencies that rent you their dream bike. Saigon Bike Rentals and Xe May Motorcycle Hire are big names. Also in Ho Chi Minh City is Mst. May, which runs a modest motorcycle rental business from a cigarette stand on Pham Ngu Lao. Such rental agencies can also be found on the streets of Bui Vien and De Tem; These bikes are only available for short periods of time.
