Motorbike Rental in Danang
Da Nang is an excellent base for exploring central Vietnam by motorbike. You can use a scooter for getting around the city and beaches, choose a larger motorcycle for longer trips, or start a multi-day ride towards Hoi An, Hue, the Hai Van Pass and further north or south.
Contact AZ Motorbikes to confirm motorcycle availability, pickup and return arrangements, included equipment and support for your intended rental.
Our Da Nang fleet includes automatic scooters, semi-automatic bikes and manual motorcycles suitable for everything from city riding to longer-distance touring. You can view our rental motorcycles or, if you are planning to travel onwards through Vietnam, look at our one-way motorbike rental options.
The aim is not just to rent the cheapest bike available. It is to leave Da Nang on a motorcycle that suits where you actually intend to ride, with local route advice and support available if something goes wrong.
Which Motorbike Should You Rent in Da Nang?
The best motorbike for Da Nang depends on where you plan to ride, how much luggage you have and whether you are travelling alone or with a passenger. A small automatic scooter can be perfect for city riding and short coastal trips, while longer journeys through central Vietnam are usually more comfortable on a larger motorcycle.
For short trips around Da Nang, My Khe Beach, Son Tra Peninsula and nearby areas, an automatic scooter such as the Honda Lead is simple, practical and easy to use. It also has useful under-seat storage, which makes it convenient for everyday riding.
If you plan to ride further, especially towards Hue, the Hai Van Pass, the mountains or on a multi-day journey, we generally recommend a manual motorcycle. Bikes such as the Honda XR150 and Honda XR190 give you more control, larger wheels and a more suitable riding position for mixed road conditions.
For riders carrying a passenger, more luggage or planning longer distances on better roads, a larger bike such as the Honda CB500X can be a better option. It is more comfortable at higher speeds and offers more room for two people, although it is heavier and requires more riding experience.
If you are unsure, tell us your route, experience level, passenger and luggage plans before booking. We can usually recommend a more suitable bike than simply choosing by engine size or price.
Where Can You Ride From Da Nang?
Da Nang works particularly well as a motorbike base because you can choose anything from a short coastal ride to a multi-day journey through central Vietnam. The bike you need changes considerably depending on which of those trips you have in mind.
Short Rides Around Da Nang
For an easy half-day or day ride, the Son Tra Peninsula is close to the city and gives you winding roads, coastal views and plenty of places to stop without committing to a long day in the saddle.
Hoi An is another straightforward trip from Da Nang and works well on a scooter or small motorcycle. If you are mainly staying around Da Nang, Hoi An and the coast, there is usually little reason to rent a large touring bike.
Hai Van Pass and Hue
Heading north takes you towards one of central Vietnam’s best-known motorcycle roads, the Hai Van Pass. The pass is easily combined with Lang Co and can form part of a longer ride towards Hue.
This is where a manual motorcycle begins to make more sense, particularly if you want to continue beyond the main tourist stops. The road itself is not especially difficult in normal conditions, but a bike with comfortable ergonomics and predictable braking makes the longer day more enjoyable.
Longer Trips Through Vietnam
Da Nang is also a useful starting or finishing point for riders travelling through Vietnam. From here you can continue north towards Hue and eventually Hanoi, or head south towards the central coast and Ho Chi Minh City.
You do not necessarily need to bring the motorcycle back to Da Nang. Our one-way motorbike rental guide explains how you can collect a bike in Da Nang and return it in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, or ride the same journeys in reverse.
For a longer trip, choose your route before choosing the motorcycle. Road type, daily distance, luggage and whether you are carrying a passenger are usually more important than simply renting the biggest engine available.
What Is Included With a AZ Motorbikes Da Nang Rental?
Renting a motorcycle for a trip through Vietnam involves more than choosing the bike. You also need a practical way to carry luggage, navigate the route and deal with problems if they arise while you are away from Da Nang.
Our rental motorcycles are supplied with useful touring equipment depending on the bike and rental type. This can include a helmet, phone holder, U-lock, luggage rack, dry bags and bungee cords. If you are planning a longer trip, tell us what you intend to carry so we can help you work out a sensible luggage setup before you leave.
Route Advice Before You Leave
One of the most useful things we can provide is route advice. Vietnam has plenty of roads that look straightforward on a map but may not be the best choice for a motorcycle tourist.
Tell us where you want to go, how many days you have and what kind of riding you prefer. We can help you compare routes, realistic daily distances and suitable overnight stops. You can also use our Vietnam motorcycle route maps when planning your journey.
Support During Your Rental
If you have a mechanical problem during your trip, contact us before arranging major repairs yourself. We can help work out the most practical solution and, where necessary, help you find local assistance.
This becomes particularly valuable on a multi-day journey where you may be hundreds of kilometres from Da Nang. A cheap rental is not much of a bargain if there is nobody to contact when something goes wrong.
Luggage and One-Way Travel
If you do not want to carry all of your luggage on the motorcycle, we can also help arrange luggage delivery to your destination through a third-party courier.
This is particularly useful for riders using a one-way motorbike rental between Da Nang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. You can carry what you need on the bike and send larger suitcases ahead rather than trying to strap everything to the motorcycle.
How Much Does Motorbike Rental in Da Nang Cost?
Motorbike rental prices in Da Nang vary considerably depending on the type of bike you choose. A small automatic scooter costs much less than a dual-sport or larger touring motorcycle, so it makes sense to choose the bike for the journey rather than paying for capacity you do not need.
For example, our Honda Lead is currently $10 per day and is well suited to city riding and short trips around Da Nang. The Honda XR150 is $20 per day, while the more powerful Honda XR190 is $30 per day.
For longer-distance touring or riders looking for a larger motorcycle, the Honda CB500X is currently $55 per day.
What Else Affects the Cost?
The final cost depends on more than the daily rental rate. The length of your rental, bike type, one-way arrangements and any optional extras can all affect the total.
For a short holiday around Da Nang, a $10 scooter may be all you need. For a week riding through the mountains or travelling between cities, spending more on a motorcycle that is better suited to the journey can make considerably more sense.
You can compare all of our current rental motorcycles and prices before choosing. If you are not sure which option represents the best value for your route, tell us what you are planning and we can help narrow the choice down.
Collecting Your Motorbike in Da Nang
Our Da Nang rental shop is at 11 Lưu Quang Thuận, Bắc Mỹ An, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Da Nang. We are currently open from 08:30–12:00 and 14:00–18:00, Monday to Saturday, although it is worth confirming your collection time when booking.
Before collecting the bike, make sure you have the licence and documents required for the motorcycle you intend to ride. If you are unsure whether your licence or International Driving Permit is valid in Vietnam, check our guide to riding legally in Vietnam before choosing the motorcycle.
Check the Bike Before You Leave
Every motorcycle is checked before and after a rental, but we also want you to inspect it yourself. Take a few minutes to look over the tyres, brakes, lights, controls and any existing marks on the bike before setting off.
We also recommend taking a short test ride. This gives you a chance to check the riding position, clutch, brakes and controls and lets us make any small adjustments before you begin your trip.
Confirm Your Route and Equipment
Before leaving Da Nang, check that your luggage is secure, your phone or navigation setup is working and you understand the basic controls of the motorcycle.
If you are heading out on a longer trip, this is also a good time to confirm your first day’s route, fuel plan and overnight destination. Small questions are much easier to solve at the shop than after you are already several hours into the journey.
Deposit and Rental Agreement
The required deposit depends on the motorcycle and rental type. Depending on the bike, this may be a cash deposit or an original passport, and the exact requirement is shown during the booking process.
You will also complete the rental agreement before leaving. Take a moment to understand the deposit, damage liability and any optional damage-waiver conditions rather than treating the paperwork as something to rush through.
