Do you need a driving licence to ride a motorbike or drive a car in Ho Chi Minh City, and will travel insurance cover an accident without one?

Riding a motorbike or driving a car without a valid licence is illegal in Ho Chi Minh City. Before renting, make sure your licence covers the category of vehicle you intend to use.
Valid licence for the vehicle category
Not having a licence does not by itself determine who caused a collision, but it is a separate legal violation and can seriously complicate matters after an accident.
Do not assume insurance will automatically cover an accident when you were riding or driving without a licence. Many insurers can deny a claim for this breach, so check the policy terms before renting.
