Airport delivery
Noi Bai Airport Motorbike Rental & Delivery to the Old Quarter
Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) sits about 28 km north of central Hanoi, so picking up a bike at the terminal kerb rarely makes sense — the smart move is to take a taxi or shuttle in and have a scooter waiting at your Old Quarter or West Lake hotel. We deliver to the door, bring two helmets, and Kai runs a 90-second legal check first so you ride something you're actually allowed to ride. All-in from 350,000 ₫/day (≈ $14), refundable cash deposit on handover, no passport held.

How delivery from Noi Bai (HAN) works
Noi Bai is roughly 28 km north of the centre, so instead of riding unfamiliar city traffic straight off a flight, you tell Kai your flight number and your hotel. We deliver the scooter to your Old Quarter or Tay Ho address — two helmets, a quick handover, a cash deposit, and your passport stays with you.
Message Kai before you fly with your flight number, arrival date and time, and where you're staying — most people land at HAN and take an airport taxi or the shuttle bus the 28 km into the Old Quarter, then start riding from a calm street near the hotel rather than a motorway slip road.
We confirm a delivery slot and a price that already includes delivery, two helmets, and 24/7 support. Because central Hanoi's Old Quarter lanes are tight and one-way, dropping the bike at your door means your first ride starts where you actually want to be.
At handover we go over the bike with you and hand over the helmets. The deposit is cash and refundable, paid to the bike’s owner on the spot. We never hold your passport as security — bring it for your own ID, but it stays in your pocket.
The 90-second legal check decides what you ride
Before delivery, Kai checks your licence and nationality against Vietnamese law. Vietnam recognises the 1968 Vienna Convention IDP. If yours isn't recognised, we route you to a licence-free electric scooter for the city — never a petrol bike over 50cc you can't legally ride.
A petrol motorbike over 50cc needs a motorbike licence plus a valid 1968 Vienna Convention IDP (or, for a few countries, a licence agreement with Vietnam) — category A1 for bikes up to 125cc, category A for anything over 125cc. A car-only IDP does not count, and a 1949 Geneva permit is not valid here for a petrol bike over 50cc.
If you're from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Thailand, the Philippines or another 1968 country, your home licence plus that IDP covers the petrol bikes. If you're from the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Spain or Ireland, a petrol bike over 50cc is off the table — and we'll tell you that straight, not at the kerb. Vietnam joined a 1985 ASEAN agreement recognising members' home licences for temporary stays. We have not confirmed how police apply it, so for now we offer a licence-free electric to riders relying on it.
Either way you ride: an electric scooter rated 4 kW or under with a design speed of 50 km/h or under needs no licence and no IDP and is legal for every nationality. The check simply means the right bike is on the delivery van before we set off for your hotel.
What to bring and what's included
Bring your passport for ID, your driving licence, and your 1968 IDP if you have one. We bring the bike and two helmets; the cash deposit is paid to the bike's owner at handover. Pricing is all-in from 350,000 ₫/day (≈ $14) and covers delivery to your Hanoi hotel, helmets, and 24/7 support — no hidden airport surcharge.
From you: passport (kept by you, not us), home driving licence, and your 1968 IDP if you're riding a petrol bike over 50cc. For a licence-free electric, no IDP is needed.
From us: a scooter sized for Hanoi's dense lanes, two quality helmets, a quick handover walkthrough, and a WhatsApp number answered 24/7.
Pricing is transparent and all-in from 350,000 ₫/day (≈ $14) — delivery, both helmets, and support are already in the price. The refundable cash deposit is taken on handover and returned when you bring the bike back.
Timing a late or delayed arrival
Flights into Noi Bai shift, and the 28 km transfer into town takes time, so share your flight number and landing time and the delivery can be timed to your real arrival. Message Kai once you've cleared the gate and you're heading into the Old Quarter, and we'll time the drop-off to when you actually reach your hotel.
Share your flight number and landing time so the delivery can be timed. Because you'll spend 40–60 minutes getting from the airport into central Hanoi, a quick message when you land helps time the handover to when you reach your hotel.
Late-night or early-morning arrivals are fine when arranged ahead — many travellers prefer to check in, sleep, and take the scooter the next morning before exploring Hoan Kiem and the Old Quarter. Just flag it with Kai.
If your plans change mid-trip, message the same number — extra days are quoted at the same daily rate, and it's one contact for the whole stay, whether you're in town or heading out toward Ninh Binh.
Vietnam recognises the 1968 Vienna Convention IDP. A petrol motorbike over 50cc requires a motorbike licence plus a valid 1968 IDP (category A1 for up to 125cc, category A for over 125cc), unless a licence agreement between Vietnam and your country covers you; a car-only IDP does not count and a 1949 Geneva permit is not valid for any petrol bike over 50cc. An electric scooter rated 4 kW or under with a design speed of 50 km/h or under needs no licence or IDP and is legal for every nationality. Under Decree 168/2024, riding without a recognised licence is fined VND 2–4 million up to 125cc or VND 6–8 million over 125cc, plus a 7-working-day impound, and whoever hands an unlicensed rider the bike faces a separate fine — VND 8–10 million for a private owner, VND 28–30 million for a household rental business and VND 56–60 million for a rental company (Decree 336/2025) — which is exactly why Kai's legal check comes before any handover, and why we won't deliver a petrol bike to someone who can't ride it legally. It can also void your travel-medical insurance. Helmets are mandatory and the drink-drive limit is effectively zero. This is general information, not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent a motorbike at Noi Bai Airport (HAN) on arrival?
You can, but Noi Bai is about 28 km north of central Hanoi, so most riders take a taxi or shuttle into town and have the scooter delivered to their Old Quarter or West Lake hotel instead — two helmets, a quick handover, and a 90-second legal check first to decide whether you ride a petrol bike or a licence-free electric.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to ride from the airport?
For a petrol motorbike over 50cc, yes — a valid 1968 Vienna Convention IDP (or, for a few countries, a licence agreement with Vietnam) plus your motorbike licence (category A1 up to 125cc, A over 125cc). A 1949 Geneva permit isn't valid in Vietnam for petrol bikes over 50cc. An electric scooter rated 4 kW or under with a design speed of 50 km/h or under needs no licence and no IDP, so any nationality can ride one.
Do you keep my passport as a deposit?
No. We never hold your passport. The deposit is a refundable cash amount paid on handover and returned when you bring the bike back. Bring your passport as personal ID, but it stays with you the whole time in Hanoi.
How far is Noi Bai from the Old Quarter and how do I get in?
Noi Bai sits roughly 28 km north of central Hanoi — about 40–60 minutes by airport taxi or shuttle bus into the Old Quarter. We deliver your scooter to the hotel so your first ride starts on a calm street near Hoan Kiem rather than on the airport expressway.
