A Complete Guide Motorbike Rental Yen Bai

Mu Cang Chai is a mountainous district of Yen Bai province and appreciated for its remote location. It is well-liked by both foreign and domestic tourists. Even though Mu Cang Chai sees more tourist activity today, the region is still able to retain its traditional way of living and outstanding natural landscape. Beyond the stunning landscapes, any traveller to this region on the Vietnam travel packages will get to learn more about the daily life of the local people and their unique cultural features.

Mu Cang Chai in the Yen Bai province is approx 280 km from the capital city Hanoi. This mountainous district is particularly popular in the times of the harvest season and sees many thousands of travellers visiting this region on the Vietnam tours package for a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

Hire a car and driver or motorcycle and travel directly from Hanoi to Mu Cang Chai

Book a ticket on the bus from Hanoi to Lai Chau which passes through Mu Cang Chai. To get a better appreciation of the local landscape, travellers can also hire a motorcycle to visit the local towns and neighbouring villages.

Also, there aren’t many buses that take a direct route to Mu Cang Chai, so an alternative option is to travel to Yen Bai City, and then hire a motorcycle to complete the rest of the journey.

Normally, renting a motorbike in Yen Bai is not easy due to the fact that the tourists often bring a car from Hanoi, but in recent years to meet the needs of tourists places rent motorbikes in Yen Bai gradually formed with a full range of vehicles to serve tourists.

Note that motorbikes rental prices in popular tourist destinations in Mu Cang Chai, Yen Bai are higher compared to less touristy areas. If you plan to rent a scooter in Yen Bai, I recommend getting a bigger Motorbikes than 50cc.

I recommend renting a scooter from a scooter rental that looks trustworthy. Renting a scooter from your hotel is a good option although it will cost you more. But as we’re talking about a few dollars difference, it is a less risky option than to rent from a business that looks suspicious.

MotorBike theft in Yen Bai

Bikes in Yen Bai steal, but it happens quite rarely. Since almost all rental points are under lash from the local police, of course unofficially. Therefore, thieves try not to get involved in rented vehicles. But this does not mean that you can safely leave your motorbike on a deserted street with ignition keys in the lock and leave and your scooter will not be hijacked.

But in order to avoid theft of your bike, follow a number of rules:

1. To avoid unnecessary attention, you should not rent or buy a new motorbike. Choose a simpler model, take a closer look at what most drivers drive, so you will also avoid undue attention of the traffic police, which you will not be interested in.
2. Do not leave the bike for the night outside. Drive it into the courtyard of a house or hotel. Most often, such parking is guarded and closed at night. In hotels, if there is no parking, bikes are allowed to drive to the reception at night.
3. Pay attention to the parking near attractions and various shopping centers. Such parking can be both free and paid, but the amount there is purely symbolic from 10 to 15 thousand dong a day. But you will be completely sure that your bike is under reliable protection.

In addition, this device is quite economical fuel consumption, which is good news. And due to its popularity, you can easily get any spare parts for it.
2. SYM Atilla – this model is suitable for the movement of the whole family. It can easily fit two adults and a child. And due to its power, it will be brisk to go even with a large load.
