Motorbike Damage Fees in Hoi An — Our Transparent Repair Price List
Worried about being overcharged if something breaks on your rental scooter? You’re not alone — it’s the number one fear travellers have about motorbike rental in Hoi An. At Anh Khoa, we do the opposite of the shops you’ve been warned about: we publish our exact motorbike damage fees so there are no surprises. Every charge below is billed at the real repair cost — no markup, no invented scratches — and we never hold your passport. Minor scratches and normal wear are always free. Here’s exactly what you’d pay if a part genuinely needs replacing.
- ✅ Minor scratches & normal wear — always free.
- ✅ Charged at real cost, no markup — shown on the actual repair invoice.
- ✅ Technical faults & breakdowns are on us, not you.
- ✅ We never keep your passport and never invent damage.
- ✅ We take joint photos of the bike at handover, so both sides are protected.
How our damage policy works
When you collect your bike, our staff inspect it with you and photograph any existing marks. You do the same on your phone. When you return it, we compare — fairly. If a part was genuinely damaged during your rental, you pay only what it costs us to repair or replace it, at a local price. That’s it. No “tourist tax”, no guessing.

Full details are on our rental terms & conditions page.

- Message us on WhatsApp +84 935 206 306 straight away — before paying police or any third party.
- Do not admit liability or hand over cash to anyone until you’ve spoken to us.
- Move the bike somewhere safe; never abandon it on the road.
- We assess any damage fairly, at cost, using the price list above.
Why we publish our damage fees
Almost no rental shop in Hoi An will show you these numbers before you book — and that uncertainty is exactly what makes travellers nervous. We publish ours because transparency is our whole promise: clear prices, a written contract, no passport held, and no hidden charges. When you rent with Anh Khoa, you know precisely where you stand before you ride.

A mirror is typically 80,000–150,000₫ (~$3–6) and a brake lever 50,000–120,000₫ (~$2–5), billed at cost.

A standard key copy is 50,000–150,000₫. A smart (remote) key is 800,000₫ (~$31), because it must be reprogrammed to the bike.
