This blog explains how motorbike rental in Hanoi works, from prices, documents and deposits to handover and riding, and where to go once you have the bike. The guides are published by Motorbike Nguyen Ha, a rental shop in Long Bien, Hanoi, and many of them cite official sources for rules that change.
