"Temporary license for renting scooters" Vietnam Transportation Tip by DSwede

Vietnam Transportation: 216 reviews and 177 photos

Vietnam does not recognize the IDP (International Driver's Permit), so you will not easily be able to drive without going through hurdles to get a local license.

However if you are renting a scooter, technically, you will get a temporary license. Its part of the paperwork of the rental and an obligation of the renting company. Its included in the cost.

If you get a dirt cheap rental and no paperwork, then technically you are at risk. However if the rental place gives you a couple papers, then rest assured that its included.

Mode: AROUND
