How to Rent a Scooter in Hoi An (2026): Prices, Steps & What to Check

Here is exactly how to rent a scooter in Hoi An in 2026 — real prices, the simple step-by-step process, and what to check before you ride off.

Most riders use their scooter to explore Hoi An’s UNESCO-listed Ancient Town and the surrounding beaches and rice paddies.

Renting a scooter in Hoi An takes about two minutes and costs from $4.7–15/day, depending on the bike. You book online or on WhatsApp, we deliver the scooter to your hotel lobby free of charge (usually within 20–30 minutes), you check it over together with our staff, and off you go — two helmets, raincoats and 24/7 roadside support included, with a damage waiver on every rental. For anything 50cc or under and all e-bikes, no driving license is required at all; for 110cc and above you’ll want a motorcycle license plus a 1968-Convention IDP (full IDP rules here).

How it works, step by step

1. Pick your bike on hoianit.com — every listing shows engine size, transmission and seat count.
2. Choose date, time and delivery point — our office at 84 Phan Chau Trinh, or delivery to any hotel/homestay in Hoi An (from 30,000₫).
3. Confirm — pay cash on delivery; no prepayment needed for standard rentals.
4. Meet the bike — our staff hands over helmets, shows you the seat lock and fuel gauge, and takes a quick photo record together with you.

What to check before you ride off (takes 2 minutes)

• Brakes — squeeze both levers at walking speed once.
• Lights and horn — headlight, indicators, beep.
• Tyres — a quick visual is enough on a maintained bike.
• Existing scratches — we photograph them together at handover so there are zero arguments at return.
• Helmet fit — swap sizes on the spot if either helmet isn’t snug.

Documents and deposit

Bring your passport for the rental record and a refundable deposit — that’s it. If you’d rather not leave a document or have questions about deposit options, just message us on WhatsApp first and we’ll sort something sensible. No hidden fees: the price you see covers helmets, raincoats, phone holder on request, a paper travel map and the damage waiver.

Where can you ride it?

Anywhere around Hoi An, An Bang beach, Tra Que and the rice paddies — and the coast road to Da Nang is an easy first trip. Planning the Hai Van Pass? Take a 125cc+ model and read our complete pass guide first.

Automatic or semi-automatic: which scooter to rent in Hoi An?

Most visitors who rent a scooter in Hoi An choose a fully automatic model — twist and go, nothing to shift in traffic, and easy for a passenger. Automatics are perfect for the flat run into the Ancient Town, the beaches and the rice paddies. If you plan longer rides toward the Hai Van Pass or the Marble Mountains, a semi-automatic gives you more control and better fuel economy on the hills.
