Ho Chi Minh City Motorbike Service

Ho Chi Minh City can be characterized by plenty of motorbikes plying on its streets. It is mainly due to lack of public transport within the city, that motorbikes are so popular among the locals as their own transport. The natives rent their own motorbikes if they are in need of cash. The neighborhood of Pham Ngu Lao in District 1, is popular for bicycle and motorbike hire. Hired motorbikes cost around USD 5-15 per day depending upon the size of the bike. However before hiring a bike, the clients need to submit their passports as a deposit. Clients can check out the condition of the bike to be sure that the motorbike he is opting for is fit to be driven on open roads.

Driving motorbikes in Ho Chi Minh is not so easy, particularly during peak hours. The intense traffic on city roads moves on its own speed and rhythm. So before moving out with a motorbike in Saigon, be sure that you are expert in driving. For bikes with capacity of more than 50 cc, an international driving license approved for motorbikes is required.

However if you are moving around the city in a bike, you are advised to be aware of thieves. Don't forget to park your bikes in areas entitled for them. You can also carry a padlock with you for additional security.
