We had planned to buy a bike to ride from HCMC to Hanoi. Following much research on the topic of buying bikes in Vietnam, I consistently found articles from Tigit Motorbikes. Although possibly more pricy, they had great reviews so we decided to rent instead. Initially, we had planned for 30-day trip (30-day visa), though we arrived to Saigon a little later than planned. We contacted the company fairly last minute and crossed our fingers. We were able to get a bike and there were actually several bikes available so we got our pick. Unfortunately, half-way (?) through our trip we had to abandon our plans. We dropped the bike off in DaNang (rather than Hanoi as planned). The staff in DaNang were very supportive and helpful. We received a partial refund (which was a bonus and greatly appreciated). After dropping off our bike, the staff assisted us in arranging transport to the airport. The bike was great. Zero issues from HCMC to DaNang. The detailed maps provided were a great help (as was the Tigit website). The staff in both locations were excellent and very customer-oriented. We were sad to have left early and not completed our journey. It is definetly on our list for the future. Tigit will be our go-to rental company when we return. One note: we rented a Honda Blade (which is on the smaller side, especially for two people). We appreciated the small size when trying to navigate the traffic in HCMC, but as the days went on, a plusher seat would have been much appreciated. Certainly, something to consider when making the full trek.
