HANOI DIRT BIKE, MOTORBIKE, SCOOTER & MOTORCYCLE RENTALS
Here are customers’ testimonials if you want to check out first about our Hanoi dirt bike, motorbike, scooter & motorcycle rentals, in Northern Vietnam.
To make things clear, please check our support policy. We will do our best to assist you in any case. However, there are a few things you need to check before you seek support from our team. This helps save our time.
Our Current Motorbike Fleet For Your Vietnam Motorcycle Rentals
For riders who are on a long trip to the Northern Vietnamese mountains, larger Honda road and dirt bikes (125-250cc, in good working conditions) are available. We are the first and original 100% Vietnamese company to use only Japanese Honda motorcycles. Some people care about the look of the bikes, they don’t even ride test or are very picky. We sadly don’t care how old the bikes look but how they serve you. Look at the photo below of some near new dirt bikes and see the difference of bikes before and after washing. If you prefer appearance to performance then, unfortunately, we are not the guys to deal with! When you collect your rental bike(s), they are clean, not dirty.
Currently, we have four different kinds of bikes out for rent. You can choose from automatic to fully manual clutch motorbikes. If we do not have the bike you are looking for please let us know and we’ll see if we can get one for you. We may not always have these bikes/gear available at certain periods. Please contact us as early as you can. All bookings should be confirmed and paid before picking up the bikes.
1. Enduro, dirt bikes (only daily rental basis available, for long-distance touring from Hanoi)
2. Road motorcycles (daily and monthly rental available, for long-distance touring out of Hanoi)
3. Motorbikes, semi-automatic moped scooters (for expats working in Hanoi on a monthly basis with long-term contracts, the daily rate applied for long-distance trips)
4. Fully automatic (AT) scooters (for expats working in Hanoi on a monthly basis only, not for long-distance trips or on a daily basis)
In case you just need a reliable scooter and are on a budget then check this budget rental offer. Please note that bike availability is very limited.
Riding gear. You can also hire safety motorbike riding gear from us at $5US/day. These include motorbiking jacket and pants (or protection knee and elbow pads), gloves, rain gear, a quality helmet, and a pair of saddlebags. Safety riding gear ensures you a safe and comfortable touring on a motorcycle.
Important: None of these bikes is really suitable for riding two up on one bike because of the HP, seat, and luggage added. Ideally, riding solo is the best option. If you have to ride two up, relax often and don’t ride long every day, especially after dark or on rainy days.

Please note that bike rental prices don’t include safety riding gear rental and due to the limited availability of sizes and lower quality in Vietnam, we recommend bringing your own gear for the best fit. At least you have to wear a helmet when riding your motorbike in Vietnam.
We offer support on the phone while you are on the trip and help to explain to the local mechanics, hotels, restaurants, and local people. It’s in fluent English and Vietnamese and won’t waste any second of your time. We are with you the whole way. This is very important for your motorcycle rentals in Vietnam.
About Our Two Wheels Rental Business
Offroad Vietnam’s office is based in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, and right in the Old (French) Quarter. This is our only office in the country. Unfortunately, we haven’t offered one-way motorbike hire yet.
Why Should You Rent Bikes From Us?
We are not just competing on prices but on top is assistance when you are riding. For assistance, no shop in Hanoi surpasses us as we are mechanics ourselves and we speak perfect English. In the long run, you save because if you need help we are available right away. Moreover, we are straight to the point, clear, and don’t waste your time. Below we explain in detail.
To know which motorbike/scooter is the best for you, please watch the below video.
Bike customization and tune up
We have been in this business long enough and work on the bikes ourselves so we know how to improve the safety and performance of our bikes. For example, better carburettors (150cc or less), lifetime clutch cables, anti-break gearshift levers, anti-break gearshift, strong handguards, and engine protection…any anything we find better for you. We care about your safety because we understand this from the bikers’ point of view.
Motorcycle Rentals – Bike quality
1. Semi-automatic or fully automatic scooters are in great condition. Honestly, they are far better than any company in Hanoi. Nothing is old or non-functional, they are either less than five years old or under 30,000km.
2. For touring manual clutch motorbikes, they were prepared in the best working conditions. We checked every bit to make sure you have safe bikes. Most bikes are near new or latest models.
Professional support
1. Before you start, the fuel will be filled up to full. This sounds like a small thing but it shows how much we care about you. In reality, many rental shops leave the fuel tank empty and imagine how annoying you feel when you have to look for a gas station shortly after you pick up your rental motorbike(s). Some shops also try to earn extra money with the fuel in the tank when you return. We don’t do that because we know this is not a good thing to start with.
2. Bike service is included anytime you need it at our shop in the Old Quarter of Hanoi.
3. We communicate in fluent English in Hanoi. In fact, you waste no time talking and understanding us. Therefore, you likely save phone costs.
4. You deal with us directly, no employee. In reality, we work on the bikes ourselves, therefore we know them as good as the back of our hands. This means a very intimate and person-to-person business. Best of all, we offer expert tips and advice so you have an enjoyable ride throughout Vietnam.
Ask about the bike model and year of manufacturing don’t just look at prices. In general, our rates are competitive and the quality is among the best.

Why Only Honda Motorcycle Rentals?
There are also a great deal of Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Vietnamese bikes with Chinese engines (namely: Lifan, Zongshen, Loncin, Qing Qui, Lisohaka, Sufat, Halim Kymco, Haelim, Daemu, Sino Hongda, Jialing, Dayang, Detech, Intimex, Fashion, Haesun, Daehan, Sufat, etc.) Some are so cheap (as little as $300 USD) but we don’t advise you to ride these bikes. In reality, Honda is still the most popular and reliable in Vietnam, and when people say “Honda” they really mean “motorbike” just like “Google” when you mean “search”. The main reason is not only they are the most popular, but also for quality-price value and the fact that spare parts are so easy to find.

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?
