  1. I tried to rent from Tigit today but unfortunately you are sold out till March. I was hoping to rent a Honda XR150 (as you recommend) but difficult to get hold of. I have been offered a KLX150 by Flamingo as suitable for a HCMC to Hanoi trip. What do you think of the KLX vs the XR150?

    1. KLX is more of a dirt bike, not as good as the XR for the long journey. But overall it is fine.

  2. Hello, is it possible to get a small motorscooter in Ho chi Minh City? I need one for the 3.2.2023 in Na Nue Hotel.
    Thank you

    1. We are currently only offering rentals from our office which must be booked in advance through the site. We no longer provide delivery.

  3. I’ve lived in Vietnam 13 years and wouldn’t suggest you rent a bike you are not covered for insurance.
    A friend on mine rented a bike and was involved in a accident and hospitalised his family ended up with a €50000 bill.
