Staying in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and considering a rental motorbike? Nguyen Ha rents automatic scooters and other motorbike types from its published shop in Bo De, Long Bien. If you are staying in the Old Quarter, ask about collection at the shop or a possible delivery arrangement to a confirmed meeting point. Nguyen Ha does not advertise a rental counter or branch inside the Old Quarter. This is a service page about choosing and booking a bike, not a claim that motorcycles can enter every hotel street.
For an actual quote, share the bike you need and your intended dates. You can request a rental quote or call +84 334 699 969. The published figures are a starting point: a booking, delivery and available vehicle are confirmed only when the shop agrees to them.
Old Quarter streets, hotels and parking
The Old Quarter includes busy trading streets such as Hang Dao, Hang Ngang and Hang Bac, along with the area around Dong Xuan Market. Narrow lanes, pedestrians and one-way traffic can make finding a legal stop difficult. Ask your hotel where a motorcycle can be parked overnight and whether its entrance is accessible for a handover.
For short sightseeing trips between close-by streets, leaving the bike in a permitted parking area and walking may be more practical. Do not attempt to ride into restricted pedestrian streets or stop in the middle of a busy lane to collect a rental. Street arrangements can vary by time and local events; rely on the actual signs.
If you plan to stay in the Old Quarter but ride to destinations outside central Hanoi, the bike may offer more flexibility. Plan the number of days you will actually use it, where you will keep it, and how you will return it. Include fuel, parking and any separately confirmed delivery charges when comparing rental options.
Available bike types, rental periods and prices
Nguyen Ha’s published rental information covers semi-automatic bikes such as Honda Wave, automatic scooters including Honda Vision and Honda Air Blade, and some 50cc or electric options. Reference daily prices on the site’s Vietnamese price list include Honda Wave at VND 150,000 and Vision or Air Blade at VND 200,000. These examples are not a real-time inventory or a guaranteed quote for every date. Confirm the exact vehicle, weekly or monthly price, deposit and any extra services before paying.
- Staying mostly inside a small walking area: decide whether you need a motorbike every day at all.
- Exploring several Hanoi districts: choose a familiar bike type and an appropriate daily, weekly or monthly plan.
- At a hotel with no motorcycle parking: discuss overnight storage before committing to rental.
- Travelling with large luggage: plan to move the luggage separately, rather than loading more than the bike can safely carry.
Browse automatic scooter options and semi-automatic motorbikes to understand the differences. If you need the vehicle for an extended stay, use the monthly rental enquiry page rather than assuming that an advertised daily rate applies to a whole month.
Arranging pickup near an Old Quarter hotel
Nguyen Ha’s listed shop is at Ngo 5 Nguyen Van Cu, Bo De, Long Bien, near Gia Lam Bus Station, and publishes opening hours of 09:00–21:00. If you collect the bike there, you can inspect it in person, ask for a demonstration of controls and agree on the return time without guessing whether your hotel street allows a vehicle handover.
If you would rather request delivery to the Old Quarter, message the hotel name, full address, a map pin, intended rental duration and preferred handover time. A hotel in a narrow lane may require a lawful meeting point on a wider road. Delivery is conditional; it must be confirmed by the shop, including fees and where the vehicle will be returned.
Record the bike’s condition on collection and check any fuel or battery expectations. Carry the relevant documents as agreed, know where you can park the motorbike and keep the shop’s number available while riding.
For general pickup and return rules, see motorbike pickup, return and delivery arrangements. A requested delivery address is not a confirmed booking. If your plans depend on a particular handover time, get the shop’s response in writing before arranging onward travel.
Documents, deposit and handover checklist
- Tell the shop which bike type you want, the exact pickup and return dates and where you would prefer to receive the vehicle.
- Ask which identification and driving licence documents are required for that particular motorbike. Your eligibility depends on the vehicle classification and applicable rules.
- Confirm the rental fee, any refundable deposit, how the deposit is returned, and any delivery or extension charges. The deposit is separate from rental income.
- Check brakes, tyres, lights, indicators, horn, mirrors, lock, bodywork, fuel or battery level and accessories at the handover. Keep dated photographs if needed.
- Agree on the return location and who to contact if you need to extend your rental or the motorbike develops a fault. Never assume an altered pickup or return location is accepted without confirmation.
Read how to book a motorbike with Nguyen Ha before transferring a deposit. Choose a motorcycle only if you have the appropriate riding experience and legal entitlement; a 50cc or electric option does not remove the need to verify the specific rules.
