What Documents Are Required?
For Vietnamese customers:
- Citizen Identity Card (or leave a photocopy, depending on the shop) and a valid driver's license matching the vehicle class.
- A security deposit, with the amount determined by each shop. Some shops accept personal identity documents as security in lieu of cash.
For international customers:
- Passport (typically only presented for verification or a photocopy; you should never surrender your original passport).
- To ride legally, riders must hold an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention together with a valid national driving license appropriate for the vehicle class. IDPs issued by countries not signatory to the 1968 Convention (such as those issued solely under the 1949 Convention) are not accepted. Foreign nationals residing long-term in Vietnam may convert their home driving licenses into a Vietnamese driver's license.
Check the Motorbike Before Accepting It
- Take photos and a walkaround video of the motorbike, paying special attention to existing scratches and dents.
- Test both front and rear brakes, headlights, taillights, horn, and turn signals.
- Confirm the return deadline, late return fees, and procedures in case of breakdowns or a flat tire.
- Save the shop's hotline or contact number in case you need roadside assistance.
Tips for Riding a Motorbike in Hanoi
- Always wear a helmet and fasten the chinstrap securely, including for pillion passengers.
- Never drink and drive. Vietnam enforces strict zero-tolerance penalties for driving under the influence.
Why post a request instead of asking each rental shop?
- Multiple quotes to compare: simply post once, and multiple shops can send you quotes.
- Transparency: quotes clearly state vehicle model, year of manufacture, and included or excluded costs.
- Verified providers: business and vehicle information are vetted before being listed on the platform.
- Free: customers can post requests free of charge and are under no obligation to accept a quote if none fits their needs.
