INSURANCE FOR YOUR VIETNAM MOTORBIKE TOURS

If you want to be fully covered while riding motorbikes in Vietnam, you need the following insurance policies:
(1) personal medical insurance
(2) third party liability insurance and
(3) bike insurance

Personal Medical Insurance

This is the most important insurance and highly recommend for all riders in Vietnam. It covers you when you have accidents and get injured.
​
You can buy this personal medical insurance policy from companies like Allianz, CHI or World Nomads or on the Lonely Planet website. Most insurers only request your country or international motorbike driving license. In this case, you will be fully covered if something happens, but remember, medical insurance is usually only valid if you have followed ALL laws and regulations. 

Third Party Insurance

This policy covers the third parties when accidents happen. It is inexpenisive to buy this in Vietnam, around 4$US/year.
You need to have a Vietnamese motorbike driving license but this is only possible for people staying in Vietnam on a visa valid for over three months. 

One option is to ride on guided motorbike tours and our team will offer support if an accident occurs. 

Bike Insurance

​
Bike insurance is rare in Vietnam, and we encourage vigilance.  Never leave any motorbike unattended, outside overnight.  Use supervised parking where available and do not leave valuables on your bike.
