Tips for riding a motorbike in Ho Chi Minh City
- Traffic is very heavy during rush hours from 7–9 a.m. and 4:30–7 p.m.; beginners should avoid these times.
- Many roads prohibit left turns or are one-way, so turn on navigation on your phone.
- Park in designated lots with a ticket, and avoid parking on sidewalks, where your vehicle may be impounded.
- During the rainy season from May to November, afternoon showers are common, so always carry a raincoat in the storage compartment.

Things to note when looking for a vehicle online
- Allow time to receive quotes: post your request 1–2 days in advance, or as early as possible during peak season.
- The number of shops varies by location: smaller destinations may receive fewer quotes than major cities.
- You still need to inspect the vehicle upon receipt: take photos and videos around the vehicle, test the brakes, lights, and horn, and ask clearly how breakdowns are handled.
- Want to rent a bicycle? See the bicycle section on the available vehicles page, or write “bicycle” in the notes when posting your request.
Required documents

- An identity card or passport for verification. It is advisable to choose a shop that does not retain your original passport.
- A deposit, depending on the shop; some shops do not require one.
