Top 5 best scooter rentals in Binh Thuan

If someday you will be in Binh Thuan, Vietnam, do not think that your only options for getting around are walking and public transport. You can always rent a scooter in Binh Thuan on our website and explore this coastal province at your own pace. Binh Thuan stretches along a long, breezy stretch of the South Central Coast, home to the red and white sand dunes of Mui Ne and the fishing port of Phan Thiet, and a scooter is the easiest way to move between the resort strip, the dunes and the quieter fishing villages beyond. On this page you will find a full guide to scooter rental in Binh Thuan.

The province suits a scooter perfectly: the coast road is long, flat and scenic, distances between the main sights are too far to walk but easy to ride, and a scooter lets you stop wherever a view, a beach or a food stall catches your eye. On two wheels you can watch the sunrise over the dunes, follow the coast south past fishing villages, or head out to the lighthouse at the province’s southern tip, all at your own pace.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Binh Thuan?

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 Binh Thuan?

Scooter rental in Binh Thuan starts from around 135,000 VND per day and runs up to about 350,000 VND per day for a larger, newer model. What you pay depends on the engine size and, importantly, on the time of year:

• December–March (dry, high season) — cool, sunny days and the busiest months for both domestic and foreign visitors, with prices at the top of the range.
• April–August (hot, shoulder season) — strong sun and steady coastal winds, with prices settling around the middle of the range.
• September–November (wetter, low season) — the quietest and cheapest months, with more frequent rain but plenty of dry, sunny spells too.

In short, you will pay the most from December to March and save the most between September and November. Weekends and Vietnamese public holidays are the real peak within any season, so we advise booking a few days in advance to guarantee availability at the best price.

When to book a rental scooter in Binh Thuan?

The dry season, from roughly November to April, brings the most reliable sunshine and strong, steady winds that also make this coast a magnet for kitesurfers. May to October is the wetter season, with short tropical showers that rarely last long, and the winds tend to calm down. If you want the driest, busiest weather, aim for December to March; if you want quieter beaches and a better price, the rainy months bring good value.

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 the open coast road. There is effectively zero tolerance for drink-driving. Sand can blow across the coast road near the dunes, so slow down and keep a firm grip on the handlebars in windy stretches. Ride defensively, keep your lights on, and give way to bigger vehicles.
