Bắc Giang is a quiet northern gem an hour from Hà Nội, where a Buddhist mountain, a cloud-swept grassland plateau and Vietnam’s famous lychee orchards sit side by side. A motorbike rental Bac Giang is the best way to reach them at your own pace. This 2026 guide compares 10 reputable Bắc Giang motorbike rental shops, real prices, the paperwork you need, safety tips and the region’s best rides.
Why rent a motorbike in Bac Giang?
Bac Giang is one of northern Vietnam’s most underrated provinces — a land of tea-green hills, sacred mountains and the country’s most famous lychee orchards, all just about 50 km northeast of Hanoi. Almost none of it is set up for tour buses, so a motorbike rental in Bac Giang is genuinely the best way (and often the only practical way) to reach the good stuff. Here’s why two wheels win here:
Tay Yen Tu & sacred peaks
Ride the western slope of the Yen Tu range to pagodas, cable cars and waterfalls most travellers never see.
Dong Cao plateau
A high grassland camping spot in Son Dong with sea-of-cloud sunrises — pure back-road riding to get there.
Luc Ngan lychee country
Time it for May–June and roll through hillsides of red lychee (vai thieu) and blossoming orchards.
Local, honest prices
Because it’s not a tourist town, rates stay low — a scooter for your Bac Giang motorbike rental starts around 100,000₫ a day.
Bac Giang motorbike rental prices in 2026

Best Bac Giang motorbike rental shops (2026)

How to rent a motorbike in Bac Giang, step by step
- Message the shop or your hotel first. Zalo is faster than calling, and few local shops speak much English — a short Vietnamese message (or Google Translate) works. Give your dates, bike type and where you’re staying, and ask the all-in price with helmets and delivery.
- Agree the terms. Confirm the daily rate, deposit, fuel policy and what happens if the bike has trouble out near Sơn Động or Lục Ngạn.
- Inspect the bike. Test brakes, lights, horn and tyres — you’ll hit some rough hill roads. Film any existing scratches so you aren’t blamed for old damage.
- Sort the deposit. Leave a cash deposit or a passport photocopy. Do not hand over your original passport — you need it for hotels and checkpoints.
- Fuel up and pack a raincoat. Fill the tank before heading east; petrol stations thin out in the hills, and northern weather turns quickly.
- Ride off. Download offline Google Maps (signal drops in the mountains) and save the shop’s number for roadside help.
License & law for foreign riders (what you should know)
Riding legally matters because your travel insurance usually won’t pay out for a motorbike accident if you weren’t licensed. Here’s the honest 2026 picture — we’re travellers, not lawyers, so use it as a starting point and check the current rules:
Best routes & day trips by motorbike in Bac Giang
Once your Bac Giang motorbike rental is sorted, the best day trips with a motorbike rental in Bac Giang are worth waking up for — from sacred mountains to the lychee hills that made the province famous.
Tây Yên Tử (Sơn Động)
The western gateway to the sacred Yên Tử range — a pagoda complex, cable car and forest waterfalls, reached by a gorgeous hill road.
Đồng Cao plateau
Bac Giang’s camping star: a high grassland in Sơn Động with sea-of-cloud sunrises. The final track is rough — best on a manual bike.
Suối Mỡ (Lục Nam)
A cool forested valley of waterfalls and old temples on the slope of Huyền Đinh — an easy, popular half-day escape.
Chùa Vĩnh Nghiêm (Yên Dũng)
An 800-year-old Buddhist temple holding UNESCO-listed woodblocks — a short, flat cultural ride from the city.
Hồ Cấm Sơn & Khuôn Thần
Two vast, island-dotted reservoirs in Lục Ngạn — quiet lakeside roads that feel a world away from the industrial lowlands.
Lục Ngạn lychee orchards
Time your visit for early summer and ride through hillsides heavy with red vải thiều — Vietnam’s most famous lychee country.
Safety tips & pre-ride checklist
With a Bac Giang motorbike rental, the lowland roads are easy, but two things catch riders out: fast-moving industrial-zone and QL1 traffic around the city, and long, remote hill stretches east toward Sơn Động with little fuel or signal. Run this quick check before every ride:
Watch for trucks around the Việt Yên and Đình Trám industrial parks, don’t attempt the Đồng Cao track late in the day, and keep valuables out of the seat storage. If something breaks that isn’t your fault, call the shop first — reputable ones will help or swap the bike rather than expect you to pay for repairs.

How much does a Bac Giang motorbike rental cost?
In 2026, expect 100,000–130,000₫ a day for a manual or semi-automatic bike, 120,000–160,000₫ for an automatic scooter, and 180,000–250,000₫ for a manual sport bike suited to the hills. Multi-day rentals lower the daily rate.
Do I need a license to rent a motorbike in Bac Giang?
To ride legally you should hold an International Driving Permit under the 1968 Vienna Convention plus your home license. Bikes of 50cc and under have traditionally been rentable without one. Local shops will still rent without a license, but you ride at your own risk and your travel insurance may not cover an accident.
Is it easy to rent a motorbike in Bac Giang as a foreigner?
It’s doable but more local than in tourist cities — many shops don’t speak much English, so use Zalo with translation, or book through your hotel. Booking a Hanoi delivery service is the easiest English-language option.
Can I ride from Hanoi to Bac Giang?
Yes. It’s about 50 km — roughly 1.5 hours on the surface roads (motorbikes can’t use the CT.03/CT.01 toll expressways). Many riders rent a touring bike in Hanoi and ride out, or have a Hanoi shop deliver to Bac Giang.
What’s the best day trip by motorbike from Bac Giang city?
Suối Mỡ in Lục Nam is the easiest and most popular half-day (waterfalls and temples, ~30 km). For a bigger day, Tây Yên Tử and the Đồng Cao plateau in Sơn Động are the highlights — but Đồng Cao’s final track is rough, so take a manual bike.
When is the best time to visit the Luc Ngan lychee orchards?
Late May to June, when the vải thiều (lychee) ripens and the hills of Lục Ngạn turn red. It’s the province’s signature season and a wonderful time to ride the northeastern back roads.
Will the shop deliver the bike to my hotel?
Several city shops and hotels deliver within Bac Giang city; online services like MotoGo and Hanoi shops can deliver too. Confirm delivery and any one-way drop-off fee when you book.
What deposit do I need to leave?
Many shops ask for a cash deposit or a passport photocopy. Avoid leaving your original passport — a copy is standard, and you need the original for hotels and checkpoints.
