• Valid passport with Vietnam visa
• Riding licence and applicable driving documents: Check the licence category required for the specific vehicle and whether your national licence and any International Driving Permit (IDP) are legally recognised in Vietnam.

For Vietnamese residents:

Contact: +84 334 699 969.

Rental extensions depend on availability and the actual agreement. Contact the shop before the original return deadline to confirm the revised return time and any additional charge in writing. Do not assume a fixed hourly fee or automatic six-hour-to-one-day conversion.

Before buying a motorbike, contact us to confirm whether a suitable vehicle is available. Request the exact model, condition, documents, asking price and sale terms for that vehicle before paying.

Ask for the current asking price of the specific motorbike you are considering. Confirm the model year, condition, documents and any agreed charges before paying. A rental price table does not establish a motorbike sale price.

Confirm whether a warranty is offered for the specific vehicle before buying. Any warranty scope, duration, exclusions and claim procedure must be stated in the sales agreement before payment.

Foreign buyers should confirm whether they can complete registration in their own name before paying for a motorbike. Ask the vehicle-registration authority to check the buyer’s residence and identity documents, the vehicle’s ownership documents and the procedure for the specific transaction.

A work permit alone should not be presented as proof that all registration requirements are met. See the official vehicle-registration rules, including Article 10 on owner documents, and confirm any later amendments and the requirements for your case with the registering authority.

Obtain the applicable official taxes and fees for the specific vehicle and transaction. The shop does not quote a universal registration cost here. Ask us separately whether paperwork assistance, rent-to-own or consignment is available, and obtain the scope, charges and terms in writing before relying on those services.
