TripAdvisor asks for reviews of services taken within the previous year. However, you may still be able to submit a review for an earlier trip by selecting an appropriate date from the available 12-month period. You do not need to describe every detail of your motorbike rental in Vietnam, the exact route you travelled, or the number of days you rode with us. A short and honest general review is more than enough. Please keep it clear and concise; fewer than 10 sentences is ideal.
Most rental bikes in Vietnam are relatively outdated because of the country’s high import taxes. A new motorcycle in Vietnam can generally cost around twice as much as a comparable bike in many riders’ home countries. Semi-automatic scooters are inexpensive and practical for everyday transportation, but they are not always comfortable for long-distance motorbike trips in Vietnam.
We are honest about the condition of our motorcycles and therefore provide limited rentals for self-guided and independent motorcycle trips. Our rental bikes are, in fact, among the better-maintained motorcycles you can find for motorbike rental in Hanoi. When travelling independently, however, some basic mechanical knowledge and preparation are useful and can make your Vietnam motorcycle adventure much more enjoyable.
We have earned TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence continuously since 2016. From 2020, TripAdvisor called it Travelers’ Choice. How good is this award? TripAdvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions, and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on TripAdvisor.
Therefore, receiving a Travelers’ Choice award isn’t easy. This recognition reflects the quality of our services and the excellent feedback from our customers. For us, customer reviews are particularly important because they provide independent feedback about our motorbike rental service in Hanoi, motorcycles, advice, and support for independent riders.
Our Awards for Good Motorbike Rental Reviews from 2016
We created a page where customers could post reviews of their trips in 2014. Our business received this prestigious recognition in 2016 when TripAdvisor started awarding the Certificate of Excellence. Below are the TripAdvisor widgets that we are allowed to feature on our website.
You can click on them and check the feedback from our previous customers. Real customer experiences can tell you far more about our Hanoi motorbike rental service than any promotional words we could write ourselves. Thank you for taking the time to read their feedback.
We have been providing near-new and latest-model scooters in Hanoi. In fact, we use only genuine Honda products, with no other brands and no Chinese fakes. Please take these details into account when deciding which motorcycle or scooter to hire.
When comparing motorbike rental prices in Hanoi, do not look only at the daily rate. Ask about the bike model, engine size, and year of manufacture, as these factors can make a major difference on a long-distance trip. In general, our rental rates are competitive while our focus remains on providing reliable, properly maintained motorcycles for independent riders.
When you collect your rental motorcycle or scooter in Hanoi, we will provide a map, phrasebook, riding rules, useful local advice, and straightforward tips to help you get started. We are happy to share practical information about roads, routes, fuel, accommodation, and riding conditions so you can enjoy your self-guided Vietnam motorbike adventure with greater confidence.

Hello.
I need 8 crf250l for our Hanoi – Sapa – Luang Prabang trip in September for 9 days. Do you have available 8 bikes?
Thank you,
Eric Teng.
Hello Eric,
We are based in Hanoi only and unfortunately haven’t provided one-way motorbike hire or cross-border rental yet. This was mentioned clearly on our website.
Sadly, we are not able to provide anything for your September trip. If you change your mind and collect and return bikes in Hanoi then we can do something.
Let us know if we could assist you in any other way.
My friend and I spent the most wonderful motorbike trip in Viet Nam. Equipped with the Honda XR 125 off road bikes we spent 11 days riding the North/North East part of the country. We started on 03.11.2014 in Hanoi and ended there on 13.11.2014. Along the way we took in the sights of Ha Giang, Dong Van, Bao Lac, Cho Ra, Ba Be, Ninh Binh and Cuc Phuong. We were totally enthralled by the beautiful sights of the scenery and the great people we met along the way.
We enjoyed an incident free adventure and left filled with many amazing memories.
The team at offroadvietnam couldn’t have been any more helpful even if they wanted to.
Thank you Ahn and the boys for giving us this incredible opportunity.
Hi,
My boyfriend and I we both live in Ho Chi Minh City and will be flying to Hanoi next week. We will like to rent 2 motorbikes for around 6 days. We both drive in Ho Chi Minh City (almost for 2 years now) so we are familiar with the traffic already, but we drive automatic motorbikes. We are planning on going to Ba Be, Cao Bang, Lang Son from Hanoi (and returning to Hanoi at the end). Do you have motorbike available? How are the road conditions for the trip I mentioned above?
Looking forward to your reply!
Flo
Hello Flo. Unfortunately, we don’t have any bike available for your dates. They were booked up. If you want a comfortable trip and ride off-road you need dirt bikes and more riding experience. Good luck with your research.
Good afternoon, i’m traveling as a backpacker through southeast asian and my family will come to visit me on Christmas. We are interested on ride from Hanoi to Saigon by motorbike but we have some doubts.
1- Is available to take de motorbike on Hanoi and leave it on Saigon?
2- Can you bring with your van, when you come to pick up the motorbikes, my main backpack (70L). I cannot bring it with me during the road, it’s to heavy and the motorbike luggages will not have enough space. It’s a problem for my. About my parents is not a problem cause they will get back to Hanoi.
3- Which kind of assurance do you offer?
4- What kind of motorbikes have you got? We want like trail motorbike with luggage to keep our stuffs during the travel.
5- How many day do you think we need to do that flight?
6- Have the motorbikes enough space to keep our luggage?
Any information you can give me will be useful for us.
Thanks pretty much

Dear Pere Colom. If you are looking for just bike hire then unfortunately we don’t offer one-way rental because we have only one office in Hanoi. If you are looking for a fully guided tour then it’s possible to start in Hanoi and end in HCMC (Saigon). An example of this trip in 16 days in here. A fully guided trip for a group of three starts from 150$US/person/day. Please correspond via email offroadvietnam (at) gmail.com to discuss in person.
