Over the past 24 hours, electric scooter rental services equipped with smart battery-swapping technology have become a major highlight for tourists in Hoi An. Rental companies have expanded their network of automated battery swap stations across key areas such as Minh An, Cam Chau, and Cam An. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for conventional charging, travelers can now swap for a fully charged battery in under 2 minutes via a mobile app. This ensures seamless journeys to distant attractions like the Bay Mau Coconut Forest or An Bang Beach.
Local authorities and rental providers have issued reminders regarding traffic rules in the heritage core. Although electric scooters are eco-friendly and strongly encouraged under the Green Tourism movement, visitors must strictly comply with motor vehicle restriction hours in pedestrian zones (Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Bach Dang streets). Restricted hours run daily from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM - 9:30 PM. Tourists are required to park at designated electric vehicle parking hubs on the perimeter before exploring on foot.
To promote sustainable travel, leading electric scooter rental businesses in Hoi An have launched attractive promotional campaigns. Rental rates currently range from 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND per day depending on the vehicle model. Key offers include a 15-20% discount for rentals of 3 days or more, free delivery and pick-up within a 5km radius (covering city-center hotels and beach resorts), and complimentary vouchers for local culinary experiences or admission to Tra Que Vegetable Village.
To guarantee safety and user rights, tourists should keep in mind mandatory requirements: present a valid Passport/ID and Driver's License for high-powered electric models (speeds exceeding 50 km/h). Security deposits range between 1,000,000 VND and 3,000,000 VND per scooter, or leaving original identification documents. Reputable rental agencies now include 24/7 breakdown insurance and on-site roadside assistance in case of mechanical issues.
Before taking possession of the vehicle, tourists are strongly advised to perform a 5-step safety check: inspect front and rear brakes, headlights, turn signals, horn, and tire pressure. Ensure the battery level on the dashboard shows at least 90%. Rental staff will assist customers in installing the QR navigation app to locate the nearest battery swap stations and monitor real-time battery availability for a smooth and worry-free exploration of Hoi An.
