Motorbike Rental Procedures For motorbike rental, there are different procedures depending on the rental shop and the length of the rental. If you stay in a hotel and rent a motorbike from the hotel for a few days, the hotel will not require a deposit. If you rent directly from a rental shop, you need to give your passport to the owner until you return the motorbike or deposit an amount of money (from 1.5 million VND to 3 million VND). Leaving a passport with a shop while you travel the whole country is not ideal, so an alternative can be suggested. Often rental shops will accept a different form of valid identification or even a copy of the passport. The rental shop will give you the blue registration card for the motorbike if you buy this motorbike. The blue card is enough evidence in Vietnam to prove ownership. However, the name cannot be changed on this card. If the blue card is lost, it can not be replaced. So take special care of it. You must first decide which kind of motorbike to rent: automatic or manual. Automatic motorbikes are easy to use, for both experts and amateurs alike. Manual motorbikes are a little bit more complicated and require a higher level of motorbike and traffic awareness. However, it is fuel-efficient, and suitable for steep mountain passes and roads because these bikes typically have more powerful engines. Therefore, the auto motorbike is good for riding around the city, on the smooth and flat road, whereas manual motorbikes are ideal for conquering mountain roads and long road trips. You must check the motorbike before renting. Ask the owner for a trial run. Then, check whether the breaks (handbrake, footbrake), lights, indicators, horn, wheels, and tires are in good condition. At least one wing mirror is required by Vietnam law. Take a video in front of the owner of the bike, this way when you return, you can’t get charged for scratches that were already on the bike. Some owners will fill the gas tank, but most leave it empty. Therefore, you should ask them about the gas before renting. The rental price with a full gas tank is more expensive, and the difference is around 50,000 VND. If the gas tank is empty, ask the owner for the nearest gas station to fill up the tank before riding anywhere else. It usually takes around 50,000 – 70,000 VND for a full gas tank, depending on the bike.
