TL;DR

Many Nha Trang rental shops now require a motorcycle licence (Category A) issued in your country of residence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). Without these documents, you may be refused, and some renters ask for a deposit equal to the bike’s value.

Motorbike-rental requirements for foreigners have reportedly become stricter over the past year. The safest option is to bring a Category A motorcycle licence from your country of residence together with an IDP.

Even expat-run rentals may request a large security deposit, potentially up to the motorbike’s full value, because recovering a bike can be difficult if paperwork is missing.
