FAQs: Motorbike tours in Vietnam
Can You Use an International Driving Permit in Vietnam?
Can I Legally Ride a Motorbike in Vietnam with an International License?
Yes, you can ride a motorbike in Vietnam with an International Driving Permit (IDP), as long as you also carry a valid license from your home country. However, the rules are not the same everywhere in Vietnam.
In Northern Vietnam, most police accept international licenses with an IDP. But in some central and southern provinces, local authorities may ask for a Vietnamese motorbike license. The laws vary by region and often change without clear updates from the government.
That said, after over years of riding and running tours across Vietnam, we can say this: police rarely stop tourists who ride safely and follow traffic rules. If you ride with a guide, wear a helmet, and respect speed limits, you’re unlikely to have any issues—even without a local license.
Important: While you may ride legally, most travel insurance companies will not cover motorbike accidents unless you have a Vietnamese motorbike license. Always check your insurance policy before riding.
What Is Traffic Like in Vietnam?
Not as bad as you may think. Many foreigners describe Vietnam’s traffic as an unusual they never seen before. It might look like there are no rules, but motorbikes and scooters clearly rule the roads.
All our tours include local guides who know the traffic well. They will share tips to help you ride safely and confidently. We also plan custom routes to avoid big, busy roads whenever possible—so you can enjoy the ride without stress.
How to Get Insurance for my trip?
The two biggest insurance companies in Vietnam are Bảo Việt (the national insurance company) and Gras Savoye Willis (a French insurance broker). They are well-known, but they don’t cover motorbike accidents if you don’t have a Vietnamese motorbike license.
Getting a Vietnamese motorbike license or converting your home license is complicated. You need at least a 3-month resident visa, and you must handle the paperwork in person. It usually takes 5 to 7 working days to complete.
Because of this, it’s best to buy travel insurance in your home country before starting a motorbike tour in Vietnam. Make sure your policy covers riding a motorbike abroad.
How Much Experience Do I Need to Join a the Motorcycle trip?
You don’t need a lot of experience to join our motorcycle tour. Some tours are beginner-friendly and perfect for people with little or no riding experience. Other tours need more advanced skills. Always check the tour details or ask the tour operator to see if the ride matches your skill level.
Can I Join a motorbike ride If I’ve Never Ridden Before?
Yes, you can. Some of our motorbike tours are optimized for beginners who have never ridden before. These tours include basic training and safety tips to help you ride with confidence. On our e-mail conversation, we will make sure you’re ready for a ride, if not, we will train you and our guide will take care of you. In addition, we do offer pillion riding tour.
