Traveling through Vietnam by motorbike is one of the most exciting experiences for visitors, especially in charming destinations like Hoi An. But what if you’re not riding solo? Riding with a passenger on a motorbike adds a new layer of fun — and responsibility.
In this guide, we’ll cover essential tips for riding with a passenger, especially for tourists renting scooters in Hoi An.
✅ Is It Legal to Carry a Passenger in Vietnam?
Yes, it’s perfectly legal — as long as:
- The motorbike is designed for two people
- The driver has a valid license (IDP or local)
- Both the rider and passenger wear helmets
If you rent from Anh Khoa Motorbike Rental Hoi An, all vehicles are well-maintained, come with two helmets, and are ready for two-person travel.

🛵 Tips for Safe Riding with a Passenger
- Balance Matters
Always ask your passenger to mount after you’re seated and holding the brakes. When stopping, keep your feet firmly on the ground. - Communication is Key
Agree on simple signals, such as taps on the shoulder, to indicate slowing down, stopping, or discomfort. - Adjust Your Driving Style
The extra weight affects braking and cornering. Accelerate slower, brake earlier, and avoid sharp turns. - Comfort = Safety
Ensure your passenger holds onto your waist or the rear grab bar. Avoid sudden movements or shifting weight mid-ride. - Wear Proper Gear
Both riders should wear:- Closed shoes
- Long pants
- A certified helmet (provided by us!)

📍 Best Routes for Two-Person Rides in Hoi An
- Hoi An to An Bang Beach – Smooth road, scenic views, perfect for couples
- Cam Kim Island Loop – Quiet rural roads, ideal for beginners
- Hai Van Pass – For experienced riders only; best with powerful bikes

🚨 Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t let your passenger wear a backpack (it affects balance)
- Don’t use your phone while riding — ask your passenger to help with navigation
- Avoid riding during rain or after dark if unfamiliar with local roads
