How to rent a motorbike in Nam Định step by step
Sorting out your Nam Dinh motorbike rental takes just a few minutes, and many hotels help arrange it.
- Book ahead for festivals. The Đền Trần (spring) and Phủ Dày festivals fill the city — reserve your bike early.
- Bring your papers. Passport, an International Driving Permit (1968 Vienna Convention) and your home licence.
- Inspect the bike. Test brakes, lights, horn and tyres, and photograph any existing scratches before you leave.
- Agree the deposit. Usually a passport hold or 1–3M₫ cash — get the shop’s phone number too.
- Check fuel & helmets. Note the fuel level and take two helmets; a small top-up covers most day trips.
- Save the shop’s Zalo. Handy for a quick swap or help out on the coast roads.
Licence & law for foreigners
Ride legally — the delta highways through Nam Định are regularly policed.

Safety & riding tips
- Treat the highways with caution — QL10 and QL21 are busy with trucks and buses.
- Expect crowds at festival time — ride slowly and park carefully around Đền Trần and Phủ Dày.
- Carry sun cover for the coast — the beach roads are hot and shadeless in summer.
- Avoid the autumn storms, when coastal roads can flood.
- Park in shade with the lock on at temples and beaches, and keep valuables with you.
- Wear a helmet at all times — police checks on the highways are common.
