HANOI DIRT BIKE, MOTORBIKE, SCOOTER & MOTORCYCLE RENTALS
If you would like to learn more about our services, please take a look at our customers’ testimonials regarding our dirt bike, motorbike, scooter, and motorcycle rentals in Hanoi and throughout Northern Vietnam.
To avoid any misunderstandings, please review our Support Policy before requesting assistance. We are committed to helping our customers whenever possible and will do our best to assist you in any situation. However, there are a few basic checks and procedures that we ask you to follow before contacting our support team. Doing so helps us resolve issues more efficiently and saves valuable time for everyone involved.
Our Current Motorcycle Fleet for Vietnam Motorbike Rentals
For riders planning a long trip through the mountains of Northern Vietnam, we offer larger Honda road and dirt bikes (125cc – 250cc) in good mechanical condition.
Offroad Vietnam is the first and original 100% Vietnamese company to use only Japanese Honda motorcycles. We care more about how our bikes perform than how they look. Some customers focus on appearance and can be very particular, but our priority is reliability and service on the road. If you value looks over performance, we may not be the right company for you.
All rental motorcycles are cleaned and prepared before collection.

We currently offer four different types of motorcycles for rent, ranging from automatic scooters to fully manual clutch bikes.
If the model you are looking for is not listed, please let us know, and we will see if we can source one for you. Please note that some motorcycles and riding gear may not be available during certain periods, especially in peak season.
We recommend contacting us as early as possible. All bookings must be confirmed and paid for before collecting the motorcycle(s).
1. Enduro, dirt bikes (Available on a daily rental basis only, for long-distance touring from Hanoi.)
2. Road motorcycles (Available for daily or monthly rental, ideal for long-distance touring from Hanoi.)
3. Motorbikes, semi-automatic moped scooters (Monthly rentals are available for expats living and working in Hanoi under long-term contracts. The standard daily rental rate applies to long-distance touring trips.)
4. Fully automatic (AT) scooters (Available on a monthly rental basis only for expats living and working in Hanoi under long-term contracts. Not available for daily rentals or long-distance touring.)
If you are looking for a reliable scooter on a budget, please check out our budget rental option. Please note that availability is very limited, so we recommend booking as early as possible.
Riding gear. You can also rent motorcycle riding gear from us for US$5 per day. The package includes a riding jacket and pants (or protective knee and elbow pads), gloves, rain gear, a quality helmet, and a pair of saddlebags.
Proper riding gear helps ensure a safer and more comfortable motorcycle tour.
Important
-
- None of these motorcycles is ideal for carrying two people due to limited power, seat size, and luggage capacity. Riding solo is recommended whenever possible. If you do ride two-up, take frequent breaks and avoid long riding days, especially after dark or in wet weather.
- To secure your motorcycle(s), we require a deposit at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due upon collection. If you wait until arriving in Hanoi, we cannot guarantee availability, as our motorcycles are often fully booked.
- We do not calculate rentals on a strict 24-hour basis. Day one begins when you collect your rental motorcycle(s), unless otherwise agreed as part of a special arrangement.
- Before June 1, 2026, we used to provide all rental motorcycles and scooters with a full tank of fuel. However, with only E10 RON95 and E5 RON92 ethanol-blended gasoline available in Vietnam from June 1, 2026, we have unfortunately had to discontinue this practice.
Ethanol-blended fuel can degrade in quality when left unused in a fuel tank for extended periods. Since some motorcycles may remain unrented for several weeks, providing a full tank in advance could affect fuel quality and engine reliability. For this reason, all rental bikes are now supplied with only a small amount of fuel, allowing customers to refill with fresh gasoline before starting their journey

- Please note that motorcycle rental prices do not include riding gear. Due to limited availability and sizing options in Vietnam, we recommend bringing your own gear for the best fit and comfort. At a minimum, you must wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Vietnam.
- We provide phone support throughout your trip and can assist with communication with local mechanics, hotels, restaurants, and local people. Support is available in both English and Vietnamese, helping you save time and avoid misunderstandings. We are with you every step of the way, which is an important part of renting a motorcycle in Vietnam.

About Our Two-Wheel Rental Business
Offroad Vietnam is based in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, with our office conveniently located in the Old French Quarter. This is our only office in the country.
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer one-way motorcycle rentals, except by special arrangement.
Why Rent a Motorcycle from Offroad Vietnam?
We don’t compete on price alone. What sets us apart is the support you receive while on the road. As riders and mechanics ourselves, we provide fast, practical assistance in fluent English and Vietnamese. If you need help, we’re available right away, saving you time, stress, and often money in the long run.
We are straightforward, clear, and efficient. Below, we explain why in more detail.
To help you choose the best motorcycle or scooter for your trip, please watch the video below.
Bike Customization and Tune-Up
We have been in this business long enough to know what works. As we maintain and modify our motorcycles ourselves, we continuously improve their safety, reliability, and performance.
Examples include upgraded carburettors (for bikes up to 150cc), heavy-duty clutch cables, reinforced gearshift levers, strong handguards, engine protection, and other practical upgrades whenever we find a better solution.
We care about your safety because we are riders ourselves and understand what matters on the road.
Quality of Our Rental Motorcycles
Our semi-automatic and fully automatic scooters are in excellent condition. In fact, we believe they are among the best-maintained rental scooters in Hanoi. None are old or poorly maintained; most are less than eight years old or have fewer than 30,000 km on the clock.
Our manual-clutch touring motorcycles are carefully prepared and thoroughly inspected to ensure maximum safety and reliability. Most are either near-new or the latest available models.
Professional Support
Before you start your trip, we can fill the fuel tank upon request at your expense. This may sound like a small detail, but it reflects how much we care about our customers. Unfortunately, with E5 and E10 gasoline only from June 2026, it is not ideal to store motorcycles with a full tank for extended periods.
Motorcycle servicing is included whenever needed at our workshop in Hanoi’s Old Quarter.
We communicate in fluent English, so you waste no time explaining problems or understanding our advice.
You deal directly with us, not employees. We maintain and work on the motorcycles ourselves, so we know them inside and out. This allows us to offer expert advice and practical tips to help you enjoy your ride throughout Vietnam.
When comparing rental options, ask about the motorcycle model and year of manufacture, not just the price. Our rates are competitive, and the quality of our motorcycles is among the best available.

Why Only Honda Motorcycle Rentals?
There are many Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, and Vietnamese motorcycles fitted with Chinese-made engines on the market (such as Lifan, Zongshen, Loncin, Qingqi, Kymco, Jialing, Dayang, Detech, and others). Some are very inexpensive, costing as little as US$300, but we generally do not recommend them for long-distance touring.
In Vietnam, Honda remains the most popular and reliable motorcycle brand. In fact, many Vietnamese people use the word “Honda” to mean “motorcycle” much like people use “Google” to mean “search”
The main reasons are reliability, excellent value for money, and the widespread availability of spare parts and qualified mechanics throughout the country.

Dear Customer Support.
Hello.
My name is Sunao Ueda; I am an Off-road Instractor for Touratech Japan. I am plannig to take my Japanse custmors on a motorcycle tour to Vietnam from Nov. 23rd to 25th.
I am interested in renting 4 motorcycles XR125L or CRF150L at Offroad Vietnam.
I have a few questions,
How much does it cost to rent 4 motorcycles for 3 days?
Is a Deposit Required for rental motorcycle? and what currency should I prepare? us$ or EU€?
Do you have a shuttle service from the airport? and how much do you charge?
I would like information about, Hanoi – Lang son – Ha Long Bay, Hai Phong – Hanoi. for 3 days 2 nights.
I look forward to meeting you at Offroad Vietnam.
Regards,
Sunao Ueda
Dear Sunao,
Thank you for contacting us. Sadly, we are fully booked until mid-December and currently are not able to offer any bike. Alternatively, you may rent Honda Winner touring scooters for 15$US/bike/day.
Hello Anh Wu,
my name is Daniel Lengwenus and I am working for a German motorcycle tour operator called MOTORRAD action team. You can look it up on the internet to see what we do worldwide. I think you have worked together already with Hans, the Dutch guy, who has cooperated with us in the past selling tours in Madagascar.
Now my girlfriend and I would like to get to know the North of Vietnam in December.
What would a 150cc Honda Offroad Bike cost per day if we need it for more than two weeks?
We may also check future coop and sell your tours to the German-speaking market. Would certainly be an option.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Daniel.
Dear Daniel. Thank you for contacting us. Yes, you can hire a Honda CRF150L for 300$US for two weeks of rental or Honda XR150L for 250$US for two weeks. Please let us know your thoughts.
I’m looking for a bike to carry a pillion passenger, my girlfriend can’t ride a bike and I’d love to show her Vietnam, also a couple saddle bags for small luggage, what bike would you recommend as I have a full bike license,
Jason UK
Hello Jason,
You can hire a Honda XR150L or CRF250L but sadly we don’t use saddlebags. There is a luggage rack at the back and you can tie down a bag there. There are photos of how you can do it at the links provided.
I want to know how to rent a bike.
I would like to know the rental prices for “Honda xr150” and “Honda winner 150”
Dear Youngmi-Lee. You can get prices on our website for the bikes you asked about. Click here for Honda XR150L and here for Honda Winner 150cc. We offer a discount for long-term rental and you can let us know more by email to [email protected]. Thanks.
Hello. I’m looking for a Honda Zoomer. Do you have these or know where I can find? Thanks.
Hello Meliscka. This is a small but very expensive scooter because it’s imported from Japan (around 2,700$US) so we don’t have it. It’s crazy to do business at that price for a 50cc scooter. You also can’t find anyone who rents it. Sadly, we can’t assist this time.
Dear Anh,
In about a year, I’ll fly to Hanoi to drive through Vietnam for the second time. I’d like to traverse Laos, Cambodia, maybe a part of Thailand and then hop back into Vietnam again, finishing in Ha Noi. Last year I bought a shitty Honda Win, this time I’d like to get a proper Honda XR 150 so that I can do longer distances and will have less or no mechanical problems.
I’m wondering: if I’d use this bike for somewhere between 4 to 6 months, how much would the cost per month be? And, if so, would you rather recommend I’d buy the bike? If this were the case, how much would that cost me?
If you find the time to answer, I hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
Bruno.
Dear Bruno,
Below are our straight forward and honest answers. It may hurt some people but this is the truth.
Not just you, 99% of tourists who come to Vietnam and bought motorbikes made the same (wrong) decision. They were lied by the name “Honda Win” while in fact, it’s a Chinese copy of this bike. The sellers are liars. Vietnam has many better choices but costs much more (1,000 – 5,000$US range) than that shitty bike. I understood many tourists complained about bikes they bought in Vietnam but it’s their fault because they didn’t want to spend from 1,000$US, most just wanted to buy 200-500$US so they don’t have real bikes.
We are different from most outfits here and serve the last 1% who needs good bikes.
Between 4 and 6 months and multi-countries you possibly buy and sell when you end your ride. Even if you rent, we still ask you to pay a full deposit for the bike (2,500$US for Honda XR150L year 2017), take the blue card and then give you back the money minus rental (300$US/month). You then can only pick it up and return in Hanoi only. If you buy then you can sell it to anyone and anywhere. A new Honda XR150L is now around 3,000$US new and between 2,000 and 2,500$US depending on year of manufacturing. Note that this model was replaced by the newer Honda CRF150L (3,800$US new) so in a year you may not be able to purchase it new.
Is it only for Hanoi?
We are based in Hanoi only. If you want to drop or pick up the rental bike(s) in any other places outside of Hanoi then you need to pay extra for shipping the bike(s) and a large security deposit in cash. Could you tell us more about your plan?
Do you rent any 650 cc off-road motorbikes?
Me and my sons have all been riding off road for years. We just recently returned from Ecuador on a self guided 1400km all off road trip on Suzuki 650dr. We would like to come to Vietnam and ride in feb or March in the mountains for a week or so can you help us with this?
Thanks. Brett Crockett.
Dear Brett,
We rent only near new Honda XR125L/150L and Honda CRF250L dirt bikes or the older but still reliable Honda XR250’s. They were made by Japanese Honda companies, not the Chinese copies. We don’t use other brands due to part availability and reliability. A larger touring motorbike is very expensive in Vietnam due to 120% taxes. FYI, I just bought a new Kawasaki Versys 650cc for my personal use and the cost is 14,000$US!!! That’s way too much for business.
I am planning a small group tour of Vietnam in 2018. Most of the group has experience with off road bikes in Australia but a few of the group would be better suited on an automatic scooter. I would like to plan a three day 2 night trip to Mai Chau from Hanoi. We do not require guides as we have done the trip many times and will have Vietnamese friends joining us. Do you offer short term rentals for a week to 9 days?
Cheers Brett
Dear Brett. The scooters you mentioned cost 12$US/day (Honda Vision 110cc 2014-2017 models) but we need exact dates to confirm availability. Touring bikes cost more. Please send your dates.
Hello Anh,
We are four friends and plan to do a road trip across Vietnam. Can you tell us if we can get a self drive rental car for the same? Or only 2 wheelers can be rented from Hanoi for a roadtrip for international tourists. We wish to rent for 8-10 days.
Thanks
Abhinav
Hello Abhinav. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to drive a car in Vietnam. Cars are expensive in Vietnam, therefore nobody would let you drive their cars.
Hi,
I am interested in riding the length of Vietnam on a motorbike/scooter. I would be trying to do this from 26 December to 5 January at the end of this year.
Do you think 8 days is enough time for this trip and will I be able to see all the best spots in the 8 days??
Do I need a licence to hire a motorbike or scooter?
Is it best to ride south to north or north to south?
And what are your prices to hire a bike/scooter for 8 days?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Tom
Hello Tom. We are based in Hanoi only and unfortunately haven’t provided one-way motorbike hire yet. Scooters were made for cities, no long trips. There are some companies who offer one-way rental but sadly they don’t use same quality or bikes like our fleet so sadly we can’t recommend. You could easily find them through Google. Let us know if we could assist you in any other way.
Hi Anh, my brother and me, we planned to go to Hanoi the 2nd November to reach Saigon the 26th November. We would like to rent one jeep car to do this trip.
Do you have any proposal for us.
Best Regards
Hello Rene. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to drive a Vietnamese registered car if you don’t have a Vietnamese driving license (impossible for travellers with a tourist visa). One-way jeep rental is not available in Hanoi. In addition, no car owner would rent their jeep to foreigners. Cars here cost at least twice as much as in your country. Therefore, it’s not possible for us to accommodate your request.
my wife and I are planning a vietnam holiday january/february 2014. looking for an interesting off road motorcycle or 4-wheeler outing of 2 or 3 days .maybe Sa Pa area? Possable to ride double?
Dear Mr. Jerald Sisk,
Thank you for contacting us. We will be closing for Vietnamese New Year (Tet) between January 26th and February 6th. You could still hire a bike and do a self guided trip during this time. However, 2-3 days is too short for a real motorbike adventure trip. Please also note that train is too difficult tickets during this time of the year. Do you have more time?
Offroad Vietnam Team.
