Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Vung Tau

Picture yourself weaving along the coast road with the sea on one side and the hills of Vũng Tàu rising on the other, the wind doing the work your feet would otherwise have to do. This slender peninsula packs the Christ the King Statue, two beaches and a working fishing island into a space you can circle in an afternoon — and the easiest way to link it all together is to rent a motorcycle in Vũng Tàu on BikesBooking.com. One morning you might be climbing the switchbacks to the lighthouse for a view over the South China Sea; by evening you're parked along Bãi Trước watching the sun drop behind the bay with a plate of fresh seafood in front of you.

Vũng Tàu was practically built for two wheels. It's a compact peninsula where the sights sit strung along a coastal loop and up two hills — close enough that walking wears thin fast, but spread out enough that everything is a genuine 5–20 minute ride apart. Traffic here is a fraction of what you'd meet in Saigon, the roads are smooth, and a motorcycle rental in Vũng Tàu is really the only way to string together both beaches, both mountains and Long Sơn Island in a single day, with day trips toward Hồ Tràm or Bình Châu open to you whenever you feel like going further.

Top 10 things to see in Vũng Tàu by motorcycle

1. Christ the King Statue — the city's hilltop landmark on Núi Nhỏ, a short winding climb rewarded with panoramic sea views from the base.
2. Vũng Tàu Lighthouse — one of Vietnam's oldest, sharing the same ridge road as the Christ statue for a classic combined viewpoint ride.
3. Bãi Sau (Back Beach) — the main tourist beach, with a long straight promenade perfect for an easy coastal cruise past beachfront food stalls.
4. Bãi Trước (Front Beach) — a town-facing bay with a palm-lined waterfront road, best ridden around sunset before dinner at a seafood restaurant.
5. Bạch Dinh (White Palace) — a hillside former royal villa with gardens and old cannons, a short climb up from Front Beach with harbor views.
6. Mũi Nghinh Phong (Nghinh Phong Cape) — a rocky cape where two beaches meet, popular for sunrise or sunset rides on the sea breeze.
7. Hòn Bà Temple — a small temple on a tidal islet off Back Beach, reachable on foot only at low tide, so plan to park and walk out.
8. Thích Ca Phật Đài (Buddha Hill Pagoda) — a large pagoda complex on Núi Lớn with a giant seated Buddha, approached along a jungle road.
9. Hồ Mây Park — a hilltop park on Núi Lớn reached by a scenic switchback road with sweeping views over the peninsula and sea.
10. Long Sơn Whale Temple — a short ride out to Long Sơn Island for the whale-worship temple and a stilt-house fishing village.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Vũng Tàu?

For anything under 50cc — the usual tourist rental — no driving licence is required in Vietnam. Go above that and you'll need a motorcycle licence, plus a 1968-convention International Driving Permit if you're a foreigner without a Vietnamese licence (older 1949 Geneva-style IDPs, like those issued in the US, aren't valid here). Shops generally ask for a minimum age of 18 and will hold a cash deposit or your passport as security, with the amount varying by bike and rental length.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Vũng Tàu?

Local shops charge roughly 80,000–150,000 VND a day for a basic automatic or semi-automatic scooter in low season, while a bigger 150–160cc manual or automatic can run 300,000–500,000 VND a day. Our platform's listings start around 650,000–680,000 VND a day, reflecting delivery, insurance and English-language support on top of the street rate.

• High season pushes basic bikes toward 150,000–250,000 VND a day, roughly 20–50% above low-season rates.
• Weekends see a bump year-round as visitors arrive from Ho Chi Minh City.
• Low season (June–September) is when you'll find the cheapest rates.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Vũng Tàu?

High season runs December to February, when dry weather and the Tết holiday around late January or February send demand — and prices — up, with bikes sometimes scarce. Low season falls between June and September, when the rainy afternoons keep crowds and prices down. If you want the best of both, book ahead for the dry months and expect more flexibility and better rates if you're travelling in the rainy stretch.

Local traffic rules in Vũng Tàu

Vietnam drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for both rider and passenger on any scooter or motorcycle, and checks are routine. There's a zero blood-alcohol limit for riders, enforced at roadside checkpoints especially at night and around holidays. Speed limits are lower in built-up areas and lower still for motorcycles than cars, so read the posted signs rather than assuming a flat number, and remember motorcycles are barred from expressways and some bridges and tunnels.
