Da Nang 🇻🇳 Car Rental Tips: Best Affordable Options & Small Tricks

After eight wonderful years in Da Nang, I’ve been frequently asked by many netizens about the best places to rent motorcycles and electric scooters. Here are two highly-rated options on Google that I can confidently recommend:

1. **Tuan Motorbikes Rentals**
Nestled conveniently near the iconic Dragon Bridge, Tuan Motorbikes Rentals offers a variety of motorcycles for rent. Their location is perfect for those looking to explore the city and its surroundings.

2. **The Motorbike Station**
For those interested in electric scooters, The Motorbike Station is a fantastic choice. Located close to the beautiful My Khe Beach, this rental service provides a range of electric scooters, making it ideal for eco-conscious travelers.

Both establishments have their contact details listed on Google Maps, and you can easily connect with the owners via WhatsApp to discuss specifics such as vehicle handover, deposit methods, and more.

🐝 **Personal Tips for Renting:**
🐝 **Pricing:** Rental prices vary based on the vehicle’s performance and condition. On average, you can expect to pay around 150,000 VND (approximately 50 RMB) per day. For longer rentals, prices are often negotiable. The price typically includes a helmet but not gasoline.

🐝 **Deposit Methods:** You have the option to pay a cash deposit or leave your passport. I strongly recommend paying a deposit, as it’s safer not to hand over important personal documents. The deposit usually ranges from 500,000 to 1,000,000 VND, depending on the specific rental agreement.
🐝 **Vehicle Handover:** When coordinating with the owner, you can arrange for the vehicle to be delivered directly to your hotel.

Most owners are happy to provide this convenient service.
🐝 **Inspect the Vehicle:** Upon delivery, it’s wise to take photos and videos of the vehicle to document its condition. This can help avoid any disputes when returning the vehicle.

🐝 **Navigating Vietnamese Traffic Police:**
Electric scooters are generally well-accepted, but always wear a helmet. If you’re caught without a motorcycle license, it’s best to accept the fine gracefully. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, as it might lead to a higher fine. Be friendly, admit your mistake, and explain that you’re a tourist or a student who loves Vietnam. A little kindness and honesty can go a long way in reducing the fine.
