FAQS

How far in advance should I book a motorbike tour?

We recommend booking your motorbike tour as early as possible. Although there is no strict deadline for booking, our tours can fill up quickly due to high demand and limited availability of bikes and guides. Most travelers book their tours 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability. Booking early helps us arrange everything to provide you with the best possible experience.

Do I need an international license to drive a motorbike in Vietnam?

Yes, an international driving permit (IDP) along with your home country's driver's license is required to drive a motorbike legally in Vietnam, especially in areas like the Ha Giang Loop where enforcement is strict, and fines can be imposed for not having an IDP. In Southern and Central Vietnam, although an IDP is still legally required, enforcement may be more lenient, and it is possible to drive without encountering problems. However, it is always safer and more prudent to have an IDP to ensure compliance with local laws and for insurance purposes. Many travel insurance policies require a Vietnamese motorbike license for coverage, so it's crucial to check the specifics of your insurance plan before your trip.

What should I bring for the motorbike tour, and how will my bags be handled?

For your motorbike tour, it's essential to pack appropriately to ensure comfort and preparedness. You should bring:

Motorcycle Gears: A riding jacket, helmet, gloves, suitable boots (rubber for the rainy season), balaclava, summer gloves, and additional clothing such as t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, extra jeans, and a light jacket.
Personal Items: Basic toiletries, sunscreen, earplugs, and emergency cash.
Emergency Items: A first aid kit, flashlight, chargers, duct tape, and important medical information.
Miscellaneous: Camera, small and bath towels, trash bags, bungee cords, and a cargo net.

Vietnam Motorbike Tours provides helmets and protection pads, but personal fit and comfort with your gear can enhance the experience. Regarding luggage, unnecessary bags or suitcases can be stored safely at our bike store or tight on the back of the bikes during the tour. For longer tours like the Ho Chi Minh trail or tours starting and ending in different locations, we offer a luggage transport service from the start to the end point at an affordable rate.

How is traffic in Vietnam, and what can I expect during the tour?

Traffic in Vietnam is often described by foreigners as "busy," "crazy," and "amazing," where motorbikes and scooters dominate the roads. There's a unique flow to it that might seem like there are no rules, but locals navigate it skillfully. During our Vietnam Motorbike Tours, you'll be guided by experienced local riders familiar with the traffic patterns and will provide safety tips for navigating the roads. To ensure your safety, we prefer less crowded routes and avoid major busy roads whenever possible.
