Top 5 best scooter rentals in Nha Trang

If someday you will be in Nha Trang, Vietnam, do not think that your only options for getting around are walking and public transport. You can always rent a scooter in Nha Trang on our website and explore this beach resort city at your own pace. Nha Trang curls around a wide bay of turquoise water, with a palm-lined promenade running the length of the city and green hills and islands just beyond it. A scooter is eco-friendly, cheap to run, and lets you follow the coast road, dip into the backstreets for local food, and reach viewpoints a taxi would skip.

The city suits a scooter perfectly: the seafront boulevard is wide and flat, the side streets are easy to navigate, and many of the best sights sit just outside the centre, a short and scenic ride away. On a scooter you can watch the sunrise over the bay, climb to a hilltop pagoda before breakfast, or head north along the coast to quieter beaches whenever you like.

Top 10 things to see in Nha Trang by scooter

1. Po Nagar Cham Towers — a cluster of red-brick towers on a riverside hill, one of the oldest and most striking Cham sites in Vietnam.
2. Long Son Pagoda — climb the steps behind the temple to the huge white Buddha statue for a sweeping view over the city.
3. Hon Chong Promontory — a jumble of granite boulders on the shore with a classic postcard view back across the bay to the islands.
4. Ba Ho Falls — a scenic ride north of the city to a set of forest waterfalls and natural swimming pools.
5. Coastal road to Doc Let Beach — one of the region’s best rides, following the shoreline north to a long, quiet stretch of white sand.
6. Vinpearl view from the bay causeway — ride the seafront for the classic view of the cable car crossing to Hon Tre Island.
7. Nha Trang Cathedral — a Gothic stone church on a small hill right in the centre, easy to fold into a city loop.
8. Dam Market — the city’s biggest local market, good for a short stop to see everyday Nha Trang and try street food.
9. Yang Bay Waterfall — further out among the hills, a good half-day trip combining waterfalls with hot springs.
10. Tram Huong Pagoda — a quieter, less touristy pagoda complex worth the detour for its incense-scented halls.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Nha Trang?

Required documents vary between rental companies, but common rules are as follows: you should be at least 18 years old. For a 125cc machine an A1 licence is usually expected, while larger scooters call for a full A-class motorcycle licence. Foreign visitors should carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) together with their home licence — strictly, a Vietnamese-recognised motorcycle licence is required to ride legally, so check the terms of the specific provider on the booking page. Most companies also ask for a deposit, paid in cash or by card and refunded when you return the scooter in good condition.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Nha Trang?

Scooter rental in Nha Trang starts from around 130,000 VND per day for a small automatic and runs up to about 350,000 VND per day for a larger or newer model. What you pay depends on the engine size you choose and, importantly, on the time of year. Prices in Nha Trang follow a fairly clear seasonal pattern:

• High season (roughly January–August) — the driest, busiest months, and the most expensive: expect the top of the range, especially around holidays and weekends.
• Low season (roughly September–December) — wetter and quieter, so prices drop back toward the entry level of 130,000 VND per day.
• Newer automatics and larger engines always cost more than an older 110–125cc scooter, regardless of season.

In short, you will pay the most during the long dry season and save the most in the rainier months at the end of the year. We advise booking a few days ahead during peak weeks to guarantee availability at the best price.

When to book a rental scooter in Nha Trang?

Nha Trang enjoys an unusually long dry season for Vietnam, running roughly from January to August, with plenty of sunshine and calm seas — the best time to ride and the busiest for bookings. The wetter season runs from September to December, when short heavy showers and occasional storms are more common, but the city is quieter and rates are kinder. If you want the best weather, aim for spring through midsummer; if you want the best price, the last months of the year suit your wallet better.

Local traffic rules

In Vietnam you ride on the right-hand side of the road. A helmet is compulsory for both rider and passenger, and the police do enforce it. Speed limits in built-up areas are typically 40–50 km/h, rising on open roads. There is effectively zero tolerance for drink-driving. Traffic flows in its own rhythm: stay calm, move predictably, use your horn lightly to signal your presence rather than in anger, and give way to bigger vehicles. Ride defensively, keep your lights on, and take busy junctions gently until you feel comfortable.
