How to Go to My Son from Da Nang by Motorbike

Motorbike Rental in Da Nang & Hoi An

Vietnam is one of the countries which have the most motorcycles per capita. It seems that nearly all adults here have at least one. For that reason, it’s easy to hire a motorbike in Vietnam and the price won’t be high either.

Visitors can ask for rental service at the hotel first (almost all hotels in Da Nang and Hoi An have!). If not available or fully booked, it’s needed to contact some local businesses online to get one bike. The price for a semi-automatic motorcycle is usually cheaper than automatic motorbikes. It fluctuates from 150,000 to 300,000 VND for 1 day (morning to evening). To ride to Ba Na Hills, both of these types are fine and safe. Please choose a new or well-maintained bike. Having a test is widely accepted, so let’s do it to check how smooth it goes before hit the road.

All people sitting on the motorbike must wear a helmet in Vietnamese traffic law. Each person will have one helmet at the place they hire a motorbike. Meaning that it’s free. In some places, complimentary rain ponchos are provided (but can not take it when returning the bike!).

Visitors usually have to fill up motorbikes at their own expense. However, gasoline in Vietnam is not expensive (about 1 USD for one liter). Petrol stations are along major roads leading into/out the city, especially at crossroads. On the way from Da Nang to Hoi An, there are many gasoline stations to stop.
