Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Can Tho

Can Tho doesn't reveal itself from a hotel balcony. The city's real draw — the pre-dawn crush of boats at Cai Rang Floating Market, the quiet canal roads out past Phong Dien, the storks settling into the trees at Bang Lang at dusk — all sits well beyond walking distance, and a taxi can't get you down half of these lanes anyway. That's why so many visitors choose to rent a motorbike in Can Tho: it turns a scattered list of sights into one easy, unhurried loop, with Ninh Kieu Wharf as your natural starting point each morning and your finishing line each evening.

This is Mekong Delta riding, not big-city riding, and that makes all the difference. Traffic here moves at a fraction of the pace of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, the terrain is flat from end to end, and many of the best routes are narrow canal-side tracks that a car simply won't fit down. A scooter, on the other hand, is made for exactly this: nipping onto a market pier, crossing a rickety bridge, or pulling over on a whim when an orchard or a stilt house catches your eye.

Top 10 things to see in Can Tho by motorbike

1. Ninh Kieu Wharf — the riverside promenade at the heart of the city, and the obvious point to start or end any ride, lively well into the night.
2. Cai Rang Floating Market — the Mekong Delta's most famous floating market; ride out before dawn to the pier and hop on a short boat across.
3. Phong Dien Floating Market — smaller and more local, reached along quieter backroads than Cai Rang.
4. Binh Thuy Ancient House — a beautifully preserved 19th-century French-Vietnamese merchant house, just a short ride from downtown.
5. Ong Pagoda (Chùa Ông) — an ornate Chinese-Cantonese temple in the old quarter, well worth pairing with a wander through the surrounding streets.
6. Bang Lang Stork Garden — a bird sanctuary out in Thot Not district; a longer countryside ride rewarded by thousands of storks arriving at dusk.
7. Can Tho Museum — a compact, well-organised museum on the delta's history and culture, handy for a rainy-day detour near the centre.
8. My Khanh Tourist Village — a garden and fruit-orchard resort area south of the city, ideal for a relaxed half-day countryside loop.
9. Con Son Island (Cồn Sơn) — a river islet reached by a short local ferry, known for its fruit gardens and homestay-style eco-tourism.
10. Canal-side backroads toward Phong Dien — the classic Mekong Delta scenery of orchards, canals and stilt houses, best taken slowly.

What do you need to rent a motorbike in Can Tho?

For scooters under 50cc — the standard tourist rental — no driving licence is required in Vietnam. Anything larger requires a motorcycle licence, and as a foreigner you'll need either a Vietnamese licence or a 1968-convention International Driving Permit endorsed for motorcycles (note that the 1949-convention IDP issued in the US, Japan and some other countries isn't valid here). Rental shops generally set their own minimum age, typically 18, even though under-50cc bikes can legally be ridden a little younger. Expect to leave a deposit, usually in cash or with your passport held as security; the amount varies by shop and by bike.

How much does it cost to rent a motorbike in Can Tho?

Average rental prices run around 600,000–700,000 VND per day in low season, rising to roughly 750,000–900,000 VND per day in high season. Larger-CC or newer automatic models can run 1,000,000 VND per day and up.

• December to February is the priciest stretch — dry season, Tet holiday, and peak foreign arrivals all overlap.
• June to September is cheapest, as the rains keep tourist numbers down.
• Booking a little ahead around Tet is worth it, since bikes get scarce and prices are pushed up.

When to book a rental motorbike in Can Tho?

High season runs roughly November to April, with Tet (late January to mid-February, dates shift each year) as the sharpest spike in both demand and price. Low season falls between May and September, when the heat and afternoon downpours are at their peak but prices are at their lowest. If you're aiming for the dry, comfortable riding this part of the south is known for, December through April is the safest bet.

Local traffic rules in Can Tho

Vietnam drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for both rider and passenger on any scooter or motorcycle, and this is enforced with on-the-spot fines, so don't skip one. There's a zero blood-alcohol limit for anyone riding, checked regularly at roadside stops, especially at night. Speed limits are lower in built-up areas than on the open road and lower for motorcycles than for cars — read the signs rather than assume a number, since limits change often by road class. Headlights are required after dark, and there's no general right-turn-on-red unless a sign or green arrow specifically allows it.
