Should a family with a child rent a car or scooters in Phu Quoc?

From messages by 2 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 7 days ago

TL;DR

For two adults travelling with a child in Phu Quoc, a rental car is generally more practical: everyone travels together, it is safer, and there is room for luggage. You will need a Category B licence for a car and the appropriate motorcycle entitlement plus an International Driving Permit for scooters.

What the community said

A car can be more convenient with a tired or upset child, as it avoids extended waiting outdoors after arrival.

For two adults with a child, a car rented with a Category B licence is recommended over two small-engine scooters: the family stays together and there is space for luggage.

Two scooters of around 50 cc are considered underpowered and less reliable for getting around the island, particularly when you need dependable point-to-point transport.
