First thing, you need to hold a mighty motorcycle. The most popular bikes for this journey are unbeatable Honda CRF250L, Honda CRF150L, and Suzuki DR-Z400. There are many places in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city that offer bike rental services. However, to rent a high-quality motorcycle in good condition, you must go to a reputable shop. If you start your trip in Hanoi, we highly recommend renting a motorcycle or take a Vietnam motorcycle trip at BM Travel Motorbike Tour. The quality of the motorcycles here is second to none. Not only that, they will help you prepare necessary types of papers. Really a nice choice!
Accommodation For A Motorcycle Trip In Vietnam
It is never hard for us to find accommodation. When you go through towns and cities, or even remote lands, hostels, hotels, and homestay are always available. If you go in peak season, we recommend booking rooms in advance so that you can choose a good place to rent. Different levels of quality and types of accommodation will require you to pay different budgets.
In particular, if you want to find some relaxation during the trip, it is highly recommended to pay a bit much for a hotel room. On the other hand, you are on tight budget, then a hostel will take you less money. But as a adventurous traveler, which one is the best for you? We don’t hesitate to advise you to stay with locals in homestay. Perhaps for a motorcycle trip in Vietnam, this form of accommodation is the most ideal one.
