Do you need a license or IDP to rent a motorbike in Hoi An?
This is the most common question travelers ask, so here’s the honest answer:
- 50cc and under: No international license is required. This is the easiest legal option for most tourists.
- Over 50cc: Vietnamese law requires an International Driving Permit (IDP) with a motorcycle endorsement (or a Vietnamese A1 license). Riding without one can mean fines of roughly 1,000,000–2,000,000 VND if stopped, and some travel insurance won’t cover an accident if you weren’t licensed.
If you don’t have an IDP, simply choose a 50cc scooter. We explain every option in detail in our dedicated guide: renting a motorbike in Hoi An without a license. For official travel and safety information, you can also check Vietnam’s national tourism site.
To rent with Anh Khoa you only need a valid passport or ID photocopy and your driver’s license — no hassle, no hidden conditions.
Automatic vs manual — which motorbike is best for Hoi An roads?
Hoi An is flat, compact and easy to ride, so your choice comes down to comfort:
- Automatic scooter (recommended for most tourists): Twist-and-go, nothing to shift. Honda Vision, Honda Air Blade and Yamaha NVX are perfect for the Ancient Town, beaches and the smooth ride to Da Nang.
- Semi-automatic (Honda Wave): Better fuel economy and control; you change gears but there’s no clutch. Great if you’re a more confident rider.
- Manual: Only needed for serious touring (e.g. continuing over the Hai Van Pass to Hue).
If in doubt, go automatic — it’s the stress-free choice for first-timers.
Where to rent a motorbike in Hoi An (and what to check)
You’ll find rentals everywhere, but quality and honesty vary. Choose a shop that offers free delivery, clear pricing, well-maintained bikes and 24/7 support. Before you ride off, always:
- Take photos and a short video of the bike to record any existing scratches.
- Test the brakes, throttle, lights and indicators in a safe spot.
- Check the tires and fuel level.
- Confirm what’s included (helmets, raincoats, delivery, support contact).
With Anh Khoa, every bike is delivered in perfect condition with 2 quality helmets, and you can book online or over WhatsApp/Zalo in minutes — ideal for international travelers. That’s really all there is to how to rent a motorbike in Hoi An: pick a trusted shop, choose the right bike, and check it over before you ride.

Safety tips for riding in Hoi An
Riding here is relaxed, but ride smart: always wear your helmet, avoid riding at night on unlit rural roads, watch for sand near the beaches, never drink and ride, and keep your speed gentle in the pedestrian-heavy Ancient Town. Familiarize yourself with local traffic flow before you set off — a little caution goes a long way.
A few extra habits make every ride smoother: keep a full tank (fuel stations and roadside “xăng” stalls are everywhere), download an offline map before you leave, carry a copy of your rental contact’s WhatsApp number, and store your phone in the included holder rather than your pocket. If anything feels off with the bike, message your rental shop right away — a good provider answers 24/7.
