Motorbike Rental Bac Giang: What Google Maps Shows, Prices and Rides to Tay Yen Tu
Motorbike rental Bac Giang turns up one trustworthy shop on Google Maps; the rest are car hire. We checked on 12 November 2026, say so plainly, and measured the rides to Vinh Nghiem pagoda, Luc Ngan and Tay Yen Tu.
Bac Giang is under 55 km from Hanoi, so most visitors arrive with a bike already and rental shops are scarce. The older version of this page listed ten generic “shops”. When we searched Google Maps on 12 November 2026 we found one motorbike rental with enough reviews to trust, one other rated 1.0, and otherwise car hire. We are a rental shop in Hoi An, far to the south, with no link to anyone below.

What Google Maps shows in Bac Giang
We searched “thuê xe máy Bắc Giang” on 12 November 2026. Most results were car hire, car washes and even a photocopier rental. These two clearly rent motorbikes.
| Name on Maps | Type on Maps | Address on Maps | Phone | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motorbikes for rent, MICKIE MOTOR | Motorcycle rental, opens 9:00 | 365 Giap Hai | +84 363 982 302 | 4.9 (23) |
| Gia Khang motorbike rental | Motorcycle dealer, opens 7:00 | 47 Ha Vi 1 | +84 941 883 456 | 1.0 (1) |
MICKIE MOTOR, with 23 reviews at 4.9, is the safe choice. Gia Khang has one review, and it is a one-star, so read it before booking. None of the old page’s names matched anything.
Bac Giang is so close to Hanoi that few people rent here. That is why 23 reviews make a shop the busiest in the city.
What motorbike rental Bac Giang costs
No listing prints a price on Maps. The booking site MotoGo, read on 12 November 2026, has a Bac Giang page with rates.
| Bike type | Range published on MotoGo | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Manual or semi-automatic | 80,000–120,000₫ a day | Published, not checked with a provider |
| Automatic scooter | 120,000–160,000₫ a day | Published, not checked with a provider |
| Deposit, helmet, delivery | Not published | Unconfirmed, ask by phone |
Ask by message for the rate on your dates, the deposit, and whether helmets and ponchos are included.
Licence and paperwork for foreign riders
Rental shops rarely check licences closely, but the police and your travel insurer do. Three rules matter.
- You need your home licence plus an International Driving Permit issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention. Vietnam does not recognise an IDP issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention, so check which convention is printed on yours.
- Bikes under 50 cc need no licence.
- Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger.
Most travel insurers refuse motorbike claims when the rider has no valid licence for the bike, so this is about more than a roadside fine. We explain it in full in our guide to whether you need a licence to ride a motorbike.
Roads around Bac Giang, with measured distances
Measured on Google Maps on 12 November 2026 from MICKIE MOTOR at 365 Giap Hai. The Hanoi route avoids motorways. Times are Google’s car estimates.
| Destination | Distance | Google time | Road |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinh Nghiem pagoda | 15.3 km | 24 min | DT299, TL299B |
| Chu, Luc Ngan lychee area | 38.8 km | 52 min | QL31 |
| Tay Yen Tu tourist area | 64.3 km | 1 h 27 | QL31, TL293 |
| Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake | 54.7 km | 1 h 26 | DT295B, motorways avoided |
Vinh Nghiem pagoda is known for its Buddhist woodblocks, listed by UNESCO on the Memory of the World Asia-Pacific register. Luc Ngan is lychee country, with harvest around June. Tay Yen Tu is the western slope of the Yen Tu range, with a cable car; allow a full day.
Checking the bike before you ride
Most arguments at return time are about scratches that were already there. Two minutes with your phone prevents nearly all of them.
- Film a slow lap of the bike, including both mirrors, the exhaust cover and the underside of the front panel.
- Squeeze both brakes hard, and test the horn, headlight and both indicators.
- Photograph the fuel gauge and ask whether you must return it at the same level.
- QL31 to Luc Ngan carries farm trucks in lychee season. Check the rear light and indicators.
- Save the shop’s number and ask what they want you to do after a puncture or breakdown far away.
