Have you ever imagined yourself gliding through misty mountain passes, weaving through bustling local markets or stopping by a pristine beach just because a beautiful scene suddenly caught your eye? But how to plan a motorbike tour that is both economical and safe while still retaining the spontaneity of a true backpacker? The answer lies in this article from Rental Motorbike!
What makes Vietnam a backpacker’s paradise?
Vietnam is famous for its diverse terrain with many small alleys, trails through forests or villages, so motorbikes are the perfect way to get into these areas, which are inaccessible to cars or public transport. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the true beauty of Vietnam’s nature, the best way is to plan a motorbike tour and embark on an adventure at your own pace.
In the northern region, you can start your day by conquering the rugged mountain roads in Ha Giang, stop at a coastal fishing village in the Central region, then end your journey with dinner in the heart of Hoi An ancient town. For those who love history, culture and cuisine, this country also has countless experiences from ancient towns, French architecture to famous street food.
There is nothing better than being free to travel on your own motorbike. If you’re looking to plan a motorbike tour with beautiful routes from the Central to the South, Rental Motorbike suggests planning a motorbike tour along these breathtaking journeys:
- HCMC to Da Lat: The route from Saigon to Da Lat is about 300 km long, passing through Bao Loc Pass or Ta Nung Pass. This route is notable for its winding passes, vast pine forests and cool air when going up high.
- Nha Trang to Da Lat: The journey from the blue sea to the dreamy plateau is about 140 km long, loved by many tourists because of the spectacular change in landscape from the blue sea to the majestic mountains.
- Hue to Hoi An: This approximately 130 km long journey is a beautiful route for those who love the combination of the sea, mountains and cultural heritage. Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet: You need to travel about 200 km to feel the unique beauty of the road known as the “Little Sahara Desert” of Vietnam, with long white sand dunes and blue sea.
Should you rent or buy for the best experience?
Is renting or buying a motorbike the smarter decision? It is not difficult to find a quality motorbike in Vietnam. If you are planning to travel for a few weeks, renting a motorbike from a motorbike rental in District 1 will save you time and ensure that the motorbike is well maintained. On the other hand, if you have a few months to travel around the country, buying a motorbike and selling it at the end of the trip can be a more economical option.
Before making your decision, it’s essential to plan a motorbike tour that fits your schedule and travel style. Rental Motorbike believes that 2 – 3 weeks is a reasonable amount of time for you to enjoy your trip comfortably. During this time, you can explore the highlights, stay at local homestays and really immerse yourself in the local lifestyle.

Choose a motorbike that fits your budget
When planning to travel by motorbike, it’s essential to plan a motorbike tour that suits your budget and route. Here are some important notes:
- Motorbikes under 50cc do not require a license, but they are too weak to travel long distances. Choose a motorbike from 100cc or more to ensure safety and good performance.
- The roads in Vietnam have many bad, bumpy sections and low speed limits, so a large motorbike is not always good.
- Rental Motorbike offers many Honda models such as Honda CB500X, Honda XR150L,… easy to repair, spare parts are available and durable on all terrains.
Tips for packing effectively for your trip
Packing light but fully is an important principle when you plan a motorbike tour. Therefore, you should note:
- Don’t bring too much because you can buy more on the way. The basics are lightweight clothes, waterproof jackets, toiletries and non-slip shoes.
- Roll your clothes, this will save space and avoid wrinkles.
- Vietnam has a long rainy season, so protect your luggage with a dry bag or waterproof cover to avoid getting your belongings wet.
- You may want to buy souvenirs or local products on the way, so don’t stuff your backpack too full at the beginning.
To have a safe, smooth and economical trip, detailed planning, choosing the right vehicle and smart luggage preparation are extremely important.
