Over the past 24 hours, the electric motorbike charging and battery-swapping station network in Hue City has seen significant upgrades by major operators like Selex Motors and VinFast. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, tourists renting next-gen electric motorbikes can now experience 2-minute battery-swapping at more than 15 automatic stations. These stations are strategically located across the city center and along the routes to popular tourist spots such as Khai Dinh Tomb and Minh Mang Tomb, optimizing travel time and completely eliminating range anxiety.
To promote sustainable tourism, major electric motorbike rental alliances in Hue (including Motorvina and EVGO Hue) have launched a joint special promotion starting today. Specifically, tourists booking their vehicles online at least 12 hours in advance will receive a 15% to 20% discount on daily rentals. This brings the rental price of popular models (such as VinFast Evo200 and Selex Camel) down to only 120,000 VND - 150,000 VND per 24 hours. Additionally, renters will receive free parking vouchers at major historical sites within the Complex of Hue Monuments.
A crucial safety and legal warning was issued by rental agencies today: Tourists must identify the specifications of the vehicle they plan to rent. For electric motorbikes with a capacity under 4kW (maximum speed under 50km/h), no driver's license is required in Vietnam. However, for high-capacity models exceeding 4kW (such as VinFast Feliz S or Vento S), riders must possess a Vietnamese A1 driver's license or an equivalent International Driving Permit (IDP). Make sure to clarify this with your rental agent to choose a compliant vehicle.
The latest trend among smart electric motorbike rental services in Hue is the integration of phone mounts and specialized navigation apps for EVs. This app not only locates the nearest battery-swapping stations but also provides real-time alerts regarding Hue's one-way streets (such as Nguyen Hue Street or around Toa Kham wharf during peak hours) and restricted zones, helping tourists avoid traffic violations.
According to recent market surveys, rental deposit policies in Hue have become much more flexible. Instead of holding a large cash deposit (from 2,000,000 VND to 5,000,000 VND), many shops now only require tourists to leave their passport or national ID along with their flight or train ticket details. Furthermore, to ensure absolute peace of mind for those traveling to the city's outskirts, leading rental companies have committed to providing free 24/7 roadside assistance and vehicle replacement within a 20km radius of Hue city center in case of any technical issues.
