ADD-ON SERVICES FOR YOUR VIETNAM MOTORBIKE TOURS

Hanoi Motorbike Rental provides a range of add-on services in Vietnam to make your motorcycle trip easier and more convenient. We rent Japanese Honda road bikes (125cc), new Honda dirt bikes (125cc), reliable 250cc enduro motorcycles, and semi-automatic and automatic scooters (100cc to 125cc). Our philosophy is simple: quality motorcycles at reasonable prices.

We may not be the cheapest motorbike rental company in Hanoi, but choosing a well-maintained, reliable motorcycle can save you money and trouble in the long run. Our Honda bikes are known for good reliability and fuel efficiency, helping you spend less on fuel and unexpected repairs. In addition, English-speaking staff, customer support, and backup assistance are available when needed, and we do our best to keep our rental pricing transparent with no hidden charges.

Please note that these add-on services are only available to customers who rent our motorbikes or scooters. Below are some of the additional services you can request when booking your Hanoi motorbike rental. Special requirements may also be arranged where they are legal, practical, and available.

Vietnam’s Visa On Arrival (VOA)

Vietnam Visa On Arrival (VOA) was previously available through a pre-approved visa letter system. We could arrange a pre-approved visa letter and send it to customers before their flight. The standard processing time was around two working days, while an express letter could be arranged in one working day for an additional US$ 10/person.

After receiving the approval letter, travelers would print a copy and present it at a participating international airport in Vietnam to obtain the official visa stamp. This service was not suitable for travelers entering Vietnam by land border, as the airport stamping process did not apply to land crossings.

For a standard tourist visa, the service previously cost US$ 20/person for the approval letter, plus the applicable stamping fee paid to Vietnamese immigration authorities at the airport. Travelers also needed to complete a short visa application form.

Important: Vietnam’s visa regulations have changed since this VOA information was originally published. Please check the latest official Vietnamese immigration requirements before making travel arrangements.

Hotel Room Booking In Hanoi

Hanoi Motorbike Rental can also assist customers with hotel bookings in Hanoi, particularly in and around the Hanoi Old Quarter. We work with a selection of budget and mid-range hotels that are convenient for travelers arriving in Hanoi to collect their rental motorcycles.

Hotel prices generally range from around US$ 29 to US$ 70 per night, depending on the hotel, room type, season, and availability. Most of the properties we recommend are in the 2-star to 3-star range and are suitable for travelers looking for convenient accommodation before or after a Vietnam motorbike trip.

If you need a hotel before collecting your motorcycle or after returning from your trip, let us know when making your motorbike rental booking.

Airport Transfers In Hanoi

We can also arrange private airport transfers in Hanoi between Noi Bai International Airport and your hotel or our motorcycle rental location. We work with trusted private car owners who provide professional transfer services rather than relying on random taxi drivers.

The driver will take you directly to the address you provide, without unnecessary detours to shops, hotels, or other places for commissions. This makes a private transfer a convenient option after a long international flight, especially if you are carrying luggage or traveling with several people.

If you would like to arrange an airport transfer in Hanoi together with your motorbike rental, please contact us in advance with your arrival details and destination.

Support Truck – Heavy Duty Add-on Services

A support truck is highly recommended if you are riding in a large group, carrying heavy luggage, or bringing valuable camera and photography equipment on your Vietnam motorcycle trip. The support vehicle can carry your luggage, equipment, tools, and spare motorbikes, allowing you to enjoy the ride without having to load everything onto your motorcycle.

Having a support vehicle also saves valuable time each morning because you do not need to spend time strapping and securing heavy bags to your bike. Depending on your group size and luggage requirements, you can choose between a pickup truck or a larger support truck. This is particularly useful for long-distance motorbike tours in Northern Vietnam, where luggage, spare parts, and riding equipment can become difficult to manage.

Motorbike Riding Lesson In Hanoi

We recommend a motorbike riding lesson in Hanoi if you are relatively new to motorcycles or want to become more comfortable riding through Vietnamese traffic. Hanoi traffic can look chaotic and intimidating to first-time riders, and riding here requires more awareness and anticipation than simply knowing how to operate a motorcycle. The lesson costs US$ 30/person and normally takes around one to two hours.

This Hanoi motorbike riding lesson is only available to customers who rent our scooters for commuting in Hanoi or riders joining our guided motorbike tours. It is not available as a stand-alone service. Therefore, if you are planning a self-guided motorbike trip in Vietnam and want to take a riding lesson separately, unfortunately, we cannot provide this service.

Please understand that riding a motorbike in Vietnam can be dangerous, particularly in busy cities and on unfamiliar roads. Safe riding requires much more than basic motorcycle control. You need to understand traffic patterns, anticipate what other road users may do, and remain alert at all times. In Vietnam, riding is sometimes less about being the fastest rider and more about coming back in one piece!

Recently, we had several customers who had never ridden a two-wheeled vehicle before and wanted to take our riding lesson. Unfortunately, the lesson did not work well for them because one or two hours is not enough to learn the basic balance and control required for riding a motorcycle safely.

For this reason, you should have at least some previous two-wheel experience, such as riding a bicycle, electric scooter, automatic scooter, or pushbike. If you have never ridden any type of two-wheel vehicle, we strongly recommend renting a bicycle in Hanoi and practicing before taking the motorcycle lesson. This will help you become comfortable with balance, steering, braking, and basic road awareness, saving valuable time during your motorbike lesson.
