Where can I rent a motorbike in Hanoi? And how much does it cost for a whole day rental?

Hi,

Motor rental service continues to thrive in Hanoi, with numerous rental shops located along major thoroughfares such as Ba Trieu, Hai Ba Trung, and Tran Hung Dao. Additionally, you'll find a plethora of options nestled in the charming streets of the Hanoi Old Quarter, including Hang Be, Ta Hien, Luong Ngoc Quyen, and Dinh Liet.

In 2025, the variety of motorbikes available for rent ranges from popular models like the Honda Wave and Dream to more adventurous choices beloved by backpackers, such as the Simson and Minsk. Daily rental prices typically vary from $10 to $60, depending on the model and rental duration.

For foreign tourists, the rental process involves leaving a hard copy of your passport and one form of identification, such as a driving license, at the shop. After that, you can take the motorbike and embark on your adventure. Keep in mind that rented motorbikes often come with an empty fuel tank, so be sure to locate a nearby gas station to refuel before hitting the road (visit How much fuel costs in Vietnam for current fuel prices).

If you're considering longer stays in Hanoi, monthly motorcycle rentals are also available from Rentabike (www.rentabikehanoi.com/), with rates starting at around $50 per month. Alternatively, for those looking to settle down, purchasing a used motorbike from a fellow expatriate is a smart choice, with options available at the New Hanoian classifieds section.
