Motorbike Rental Ha Giang
The first thing you need to consider before renting a motorbike in Vietnam is how much experience you have riding one. The roads here are not only narrow but they’re often very bumpy, so you should definitely take some lessons before hitting the road. If you don't feel comfortable enough to ride alone, then ask someone else to accompany you. There are plenty of places where you can get lessons, including at the local tourist office, but make sure you check them out beforehand because many offer free lessons. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can start looking around for a suitable bike. In general, bikes are cheap to hire, starting at about $20 per day, although prices vary depending on the type of bike you choose. It’s best to look for a reputable company, especially if you plan to travel long distances. Make sure you check their insurance policy, and find out what kind of fuel they use. Many companies provide both petrol and diesel options, but if you prefer to travel without any hassle, then stick to petrol.
There are two main types of motorbikes to rent: 50cc scooters and 125cc mopeds. Both are easy to drive, but if you decide to go for a scooter, then make sure you wear a helmet. Scooters are cheaper than mopeds, costing between $5-10 per hour, while mopeds usually cost around $15-$25 per hour. For longer trips, it might be worth buying a carnet ticket (which allows you unlimited rides), rather than paying hourly rates.
