Top 5 best quad bike (ATV) rentals in Hanoi

If someday you will be in Hanoi, Vietnam, do not think that your only options for getting around are walking and public transport. You can always rent a quad bike in Hanoi on our website and swap the capital's chaotic traffic for the hills, riverbanks and forest trails just beyond the city limits. Hanoi's Old Quarter and West Lake are unmistakably built for walking and motorbikes, but the countryside around the city, especially Ba Vi and Soc Son, opens up real off-road ground for a quad.

Hanoi itself suits a quad bike less than what surrounds it, and that is where the fun begins: organised rides run on the forested slopes of Ba Vi National Park, on the sandy off-road tracks around Soc Son, and along quiet farm lanes near Duong Lam ancient village, all reachable within an hour or two of the centre. Ride out for a day of dirt and hills, then return to the city for the lakes, the food stalls and the Old Quarter's narrow streets.

Top 10 things to see in Hanoi by quad bike

1. Ba Vi National Park — forested hills west of the city with dedicated off-road tracks, the single most popular destination for a quad day trip from Hanoi.
2. Soc Son Off-Road Area — sandy, hilly terrain north of the city purpose-built for ATV and buggy riding, with courses of varying difficulty.
3. Duong Lam Ancient Village — a beautifully preserved laterite-brick village amid rice paddies, reachable by quiet countryside lanes.
4. Red River Banks — the sandbanks and farmland along the river on the edge of the city, a good stretch for an easy ride at sunset.
5. Old Quarter — Hanoi's historic 36 streets, best explored on foot after you park the quad, for the shops, temples and street food.
6. West Lake (Ho Tay) — the city's largest lake, ringed by pagodas and cafes, a relaxed spot to start or end a day of riding.
7. Temple of Literature — Vietnam's first national university, a peaceful historic complex worth a stop in the city centre.
8. Thay Pagoda — an atmospheric pagoda set against limestone hills west of the city, often combined with a Ba Vi excursion.
9. Dong Mo Lake — a scenic reservoir near Son Tay with hillside trails, popular for a longer countryside loop.
10. Long Bien Bridge — the historic French-built bridge over the Red River, a striking photo stop before or after riding out of the city.

What do you need to rent a quad bike in Hanoi?

Operators around Hanoi generally ask that you are at least 16–18 years old, and an ordinary category B (car) licence is usually enough, since quads here are ridden on private tracks, parks and designated off-road areas rather than public streets. A short safety briefing, and often a guide riding with you, is standard practice, especially at Ba Vi and Soc Son. A deposit is normally required in cash or by card and is returned once the quad comes back undamaged. If you plan to take a quad onto open roads outside a tour setting, check requirements with the rental company, as an International Driving Permit (IDP) and a motorcycle-class licence may then apply. A helmet is always provided and should be worn at all times.

How much does it cost to rent a quad bike in Hanoi?

Quad bike rental in Hanoi starts from around 400,000 VND per day for a standard single-seat ATV, rising to roughly 700,000–1,100,000 VND for a larger machine, a two-seater, or a guided tour with an instructor. Many operators at Ba Vi and Soc Son price by the hour, since a short circuit is enough for most visitors: expect about 200,000–400,000 VND per hour depending on the size of the quad and whether a guide is included. Prices shift with the seasons:

• October–April (cool, dry season) — the busiest and priciest months, with pleasant temperatures drawing more weekend visitors out of the city.
• May–September (hot, humid season) — quieter and cheaper, though the heat and the occasional heavy downpour can shorten riding hours.

Weekends and national holidays push demand up in either season, so booking a day or two ahead helps secure the machine you want at the best rate. Overall, expect to pay a little more on a cool-season weekend and find the best value on a quiet weekday during the hot months.

When to book a rental quad bike in Hanoi?

Hanoi has a distinct cool, dry season from October to April, when skies are clearer and temperatures are pleasant — this is the most popular and slightly pricier time to book a countryside ride. From May to September the weather turns hot and humid, with occasional heavy downpours, but it is also the quieter, better-value season. If you want comfortable riding weather, aim for the cooler months; if you are flexible and want to save money, the summer works well outside of the heaviest rain.

Local traffic rules

In Vietnam you ride on the right-hand side of the road. A helmet is compulsory on public roads and is required at most quad operators even on private tracks. Quad bikes around Hanoi are generally restricted to Ba Vi, Soc Son and other designated off-road parks rather than mixed into the city's dense motorbike traffic, so always follow the boundaries your guide sets. Speed limits in built-up areas are typically 40–50 km/h. There is effectively zero tolerance for drink-driving. Take hills and loose dirt gently until you are used to how the quad handles, and always listen to your guide's instructions.
