Renting a motorbike in Tuy Hoa is straightforward. The city is small, rental shops are easy to find, prices are low, and the roads to the main sights are good.

Where to rent

Through your guesthouse: The simplest option. Most guesthouses and small hotels in Tuy Hoa either have bikes for rent directly or can direct you to a nearby shop. Ask at check-in. The guesthouse connection also provides some accountability — if you have a problem with the bike, there’s someone to call.

Near Tuy Hoa train station: Several rental shops operate in the streets around the station. Useful if you’re arriving by train and need a bike the same day.

Specific rental shops: Co Be Rental (Tuy Hoa) is a well-known shop offering free pickup/delivery within the city. Lien Cuong Motorbike Rental is another local option. Ask your guesthouse for current recommendations — shops change.

What it costs

  • Automatic scooter (Honda Wave, Vision, or similar): 100,000–150,000 VND per day
  • Semi-automatic/manual (Honda Win, old-style bikes): Less common in Tuy Hoa; not recommended for the routes here
  • Larger scooter (Honda PCX, Air Blade): 150,000–200,000 VND per day

Most quotes include a helmet. Fuel is not included — fill the tank when you return the bike to the same level it was given to you.

What to bring

  • Driver’s license or international driving permit
  • Passport (rental shops typically hold a copy or the original as deposit)
  • Phone with offline maps downloaded — mobile coverage is good on QL1A but patchy on the access roads to Ganh Da Dia and Mui Dien

Planning a day’s fuel

A full tank on a 125cc scooter lasts 200–250km. The main day loop (Tuy Hoa → Dam O Loan → Ganh Da Dia → return) is about 80–100km. The southern loop (Tuy Hoa → Mui Dien → Vung Ro) is about 70–80km. A full tank covers either day with margin.

Fill up at the last petrol station on Highway 1A before turning off toward the sights — stations on the side roads toward Ganh Da Dia and Mui Dien exist but are less frequent.

Related questions, answered.

Do I need a Vietnamese driver's license to rent a motorbike?
Technically yes — Vietnamese law requires a valid license for motorbikes above 50cc. An international driving permit (IDP) endorsed for motorcycles is the correct document for foreign nationals. In practice, most rental shops in Tuy Hoa don't verify licenses before handing over keys. However, if you're involved in an accident or stopped by police, an unlicensed rider faces fines and complications with insurance. Carry your license regardless.
What should I check before accepting a rental motorbike?
Walk around the bike before signing anything: check tire pressure (press the sidewall — it should be firm), test both brakes independently, start the engine and let it idle for 30 seconds to check for unusual noise, and check that the fuel gauge reads above empty. Take photos of any existing scratches or damage and show them to the rental shop before you leave. This prevents disputes when you return.
Is there petrol near Ganh Da Dia and Mui Dien?
Highway 1A has petrol stations every few kilometers. The access roads to Ganh Da Dia (off QL1A in Tuy An) and to Mui Dien (turning east from QL1A) are shorter and have fewer stations. Fill up at the last QL1A station before your turnoff. A standard 125cc scooter has a range of 200–250km on a full tank — enough for a full day loop from Tuy Hoa and back.
