Rental Prices & Budgets
What a Hanoi Motorbike Rental Quote Includes: Helmets, Raincoat, Lock and Phone Mount
About 3 minutes to read
A price list gives one figure for a day of motorbike rental. That figure does not say what you receive besides the bike: one helmet or two, a raincoat or not, and whether an extra lock and a phone mount are included or charged separately. This guide lists the five items to ask about before you accept a quote.
Five items to ask about
| Item | Why ask | What to have written in the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Rider helmet | It has to fit your head and have a firm strap; simply having a helmet is not enough | Included or not, which size, who checks the fit |
| Passenger helmet | The passenger needs a helmet that fits as well | Whether there is a second helmet, included or extra |
| Raincoat | Hanoi has sudden rain, and riding without one means stopping | Included or not, one piece or a two-piece set, how it is returned |
| Extra lock | The steering lock may not be enough when the bike is left overnight in a busy place | Whether a lock is included, and who pays if it is lost |
| Phone mount | Reading the map is easier, but a loose mount or one that blocks the view is a risk | Available or not, charged or not, where it is fitted |
The shop lists reference prices by bike type on the Hanoi motorbike rental prices page. Which items come with the bike, which are charged separately and which are not available is for the shop to answer; this guide does not know.
Ask once for all five
Put the whole list in one message so the answer comes back as a list you can save. For example: “I am renting a [bike type] for [number] days from [date], for [one/two] riders. Please confirm whether the price includes a helmet for each rider, a raincoat, an extra lock and a phone mount, and the charge for any item that is separate.”
If an item is charged separately, add it to the budget
An item charged per day is multiplied by the number of rental days; it is not paid once. If an item costs [a] dong per day and you rent for [n] days, the cost is a times n. Renting several bikes or renting for many days adds up in the same way.
Do not compromise on safety items
- Helmet: try it on, fasten the strap and shake your head gently. A helmet that slides forward or leaves the forehead exposed does not fit, even when it is “included”.
- Raincoat: choose a close-fitting one and keep loose flaps away from the wheels, chain and handlebars.
- Phone mount: it must hold the phone firmly and must not block the instruments or your view. Do not look at the phone while riding; stop safely first.
- Lock: lock and unlock it at the shop so you know how it works and that the key fits.
If the shop does not have an item you need
Some items you can bring yourself: a helmet that already fits, a compact raincoat, a phone mount you are used to. Do not fit anything to a rental bike without asking first, especially an extra lock or a mount that clamps to the handlebars.
