Mr Tú is a motorbike rental service near Hanoi’s Old Quarter, renting automatic scooters and semi-automatic motorbikes by the day, week or month. We keep renting simple: everything is confirmed before you book, checked together at hand-over and written down.
Who we are
Table of contents15
Mr Tú is a local rental service based near the Old Quarter (Phố Cổ), next to Hoan Kiem. We rent bikes to travellers exploring Hanoi and to people living here for a while, whether that means a single day out, a week of sightseeing or a month of everyday riding.
The models, prices and contact details on this website are kept in one place and shown the same way on every page, in every language. Whatever you read here, the final word is the confirmation you receive before booking and the agreement you sign at hand-over.
What we rent
We rent the two kinds of bike you see everywhere in Hanoi: automatic scooters, which have no gears and are the easier choice in city traffic, and semi-automatics, where you shift with your foot but have no clutch to manage. The current models are listed on our scooters and motorbikes page, and Mr Tú confirms which one is free for your dates when you call.
Where we are
Since 1 July 2025, Hanoi no longer has districts, so older maps and guidebooks may still mention a “Hoan Kiem District”. Today Hoan Kiem is the name of the ward at the heart of the Old Quarter. Mr Tú is next to it, near the Old Quarter, and the exact hand-over point is confirmed when you call. Our page on motorbike rental near the Old Quarter explains how hand-over works and how to ride and park in the area.
How we work
Confirmed before you book
Availability, the rental price, the deposit and the hand-over details are confirmed before anything is agreed. The price and the deposit are separate amounts, and the deposit depends on the model.
Documents checked, not kept
Ask Mr Tú which identity and licence documents must be checked, how they are handled and which lawful deposit arrangement applies before booking. UK government travel advice recommends against leaving a passport as a vehicle-rental deposit. Do not treat this general guidance as confirmation of the terms for your individual booking.
Clear about other costs
Fuel, parking and any traffic fines during your rental are yours to pay. We say so before you book, and your agreement spells out how each one is handled.
Checked together at hand-over
We go over the brakes, tyres, lights, horn and mirrors with you and note how much fuel is in the tank. Photos of the bike’s condition mean both sides start from the same record.
Written down
Your rental agreement or receipt lists the price, deposit and rental period, the bike’s condition and any extra costs we agreed. If something matters to you and isn’t on it, ask us to add it before you sign.
Returned fairly
At the agreed time and place we check the bike together again, and the deposit is refunded as set out in the agreement. If anything is damaged, it is assessed on the actual damage and under the terms you signed.
What we will and won’t promise
Trust comes from promises that hold up, so we keep ours short and specific.
We will
- Confirm the price, deposit and hand-over details before you book.
- Check the bike with you and photograph its condition.
- Put what we agreed in writing.
- Answer questions about documents and licences honestly, even when the answer is that what you hold is not enough to ride legally.
- Remind you that helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger, on every ride.
We won’t
- Tell you that a licence doesn’t matter.
- Ask you to leave your passport as a deposit.
- Promise a bike or a price before checking it for your dates.
- Change what we agreed once you arrive for hand-over.
- Use slogans we can’t back up. We would rather show you exactly how renting works.
Who should rent, and who should wait
Renting a bike is a wonderful way to see Hanoi if you are a confident rider with a licence that covers motorcycles. If you have never ridden before, we would rather tell you honestly that this city’s traffic makes a hard first lesson than simply hand you the keys. Our guide on how to rent a motorbike in Hanoi explains the licence rules, documents and deposit in full, and our rental terms set out the rules every rental follows.
How to reach us
We answer by phone. Ring us to check a bike for your dates, ask about documents or arrange a hand-over near the Old Quarter; our contact page lists what to have ready when you call.
