Top 5 best scooter rentals in Can Tho

Picture the Mekong Delta before sunrise: wooden boats piled high with dragon fruit and pineapple, drifting toward each other on the water at Cai Rang Floating Market. Getting there on your own terms is half the reason to rent a scooter in Can Tho — you ride down to the docks near Cau Dau Sau while the city is still quiet, catch a boat out as the light comes up, and you're back at Ninh Kieu Wharf for breakfast before most tourists have left their hotel. From there the whole delta opens up: the orchard paths of Binh Thuy, the storks settling into the trees at Bang Lang, canals you'd never find from a tour bus.

Can Tho is built for two wheels. The delta is flat, the sights are scattered anywhere from a few kilometres to twenty-odd apart along canal-side roads that buses and taxis barely touch, and a scooter rental in Can Tho lets you string several stops into one loop — Cai Rang at dawn, Binh Thuy and Ninh Kieu by midday. Traffic here is light to moderate and forgiving even if you haven't ridden much before, so you can go at your own pace instead of someone else's schedule.

Top 10 things to see in Can Tho by scooter

1. Cai Rang Floating Market — the iconic pre-dawn market on the Can Tho River; ride down to the docks near Cau Dau Sau and catch a boat out at sunrise.
2. Phong Dien Floating Market — smaller and more local, about 20km out through a pleasant countryside ride along the canals.
3. Ninh Kieu Wharf — the riverside promenade at the heart of the city, the natural start and end point for any loop, with a lively night market.
4. Binh Thuy Ancient House — a well-preserved 19th-century French-Vietnamese merchant house, a short ride from downtown and open for tours.
5. Can Tho Museum — an easy in-town stop for context on Mekong Delta history before you head out to the rural routes.
6. Can Tho Bridge — one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in Southeast Asia, worth crossing on two wheels for the river views.
7. My Khanh Tourist Village — a garden and orchard park south of the city, good for a relaxed half-day of fruit tasting and traditional performances.
8. Bang Lang Stork Garden — a bird sanctuary out in Thot Not district; ride through rice paddies and time it for late afternoon, when the storks return to roost.
9. Con Son Islet — a short ferry hop from the mainland, with quiet orchard paths perfect for a slower loop away from traffic.
10. Ong Pagoda — a Chinese-Vietnamese temple in the old quarter near Ninh Kieu, easy to fold into a city ride.

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

For anything under 50cc — the standard tourist rental — Vietnam requires no driving licence at all. Go above that and you'll need a motorcycle licence, plus an International Driving Permit endorsed for motorcycles if you're not a resident. Rental shops usually set their own minimum age, generally 18 even though the law allows younger riders on smaller machines. Expect to leave a deposit, either cash or your passport held as security; the amount depends on the shop and the bike.

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

Average rental price runs 120,000–150,000 VND per day in low season and 150,000–200,000 VND during high season, with newer automatic or larger-cc models going for 200,000–280,000 VND.

• Cheapest from May to September, during the rainy season when tourist demand drops.
• Priciest from December to February, peak dry season, spiking further around Tet.

When to book a rental scooter in Can Tho?

December through February is high season — the dry season draws the most visitors, and prices climb accordingly, especially around the Tet holiday when bikes get scarce and some shops close entirely. If you'd rather ride cheap and don't mind an afternoon shower, aim for May to September, the low season, when rates drop and the delta is far quieter. Either way, book a day or two ahead in high season to make sure a bike is waiting for you.

Local traffic rules in Can Tho

Vietnam drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for both rider and passenger, and it's routinely enforced with on-the-spot fines. There's a zero blood-alcohol limit for anyone riding — no threshold, no exceptions — with checkpoints common at night. Speed limits are lower in built-up areas and lower still for motorcycles than cars, so read the signposted limits rather than assuming a flat number. Headlights are required after dark, and remember that a US or Japanese-style IDP won't be accepted here — you need the 1968-convention version.
