100% recommend. Shopkeeper was super friendly. 9USD for a daily scooter rental. They keep your original passport and return upon the motorbike coming back. Took a copy of my passport, which she gave to me with a copy of the bike’s registration and insurance so I could have on me. Loaned me a helmet as well. Shop closes at 1700 but you have option to rent overnight as well.

I had no problems with my rental here. I always search on Google for motorbike rental shop reviews before I decided where to hire from. This business had many good reviews and I am happy to say that I would also recommend them I hired a motorbike for 24 hours. The staff were friendly. They kept my passport as a deposit (I was apprehensive to do this but I guess its just how they do things here in Laos) The lady added me on WhatsApp, made a video of the motorbike and sent it to me as proof of the condition when hired. I took photos myself and sent them to her. The motorbike had no problems and I returned it the next day and was given my passport back immediately no questions asked. Only small issue I had was the helmets they have for use are quite small for European size heads🤣! Definitely recommend this place though. Thanks

Review — TVS Motorcycle Rental, Vientiane, Laos After testing several motorcycles at TVS Motorcycle Rental in Vientiane, Laos, I decided to rent the TVS Max — and it was the perfect choice for Laos. The TVS Max has four shock absorbers plus a suspension spring, which makes it very solid and stable on bad roads. The motorbike came with off-road tyres, and they performed very well on sand, holes, mud, and broken roads. I rode on sandy tracks, wet muddy roads, mountain roads, and long flat highways — and the motorbike handled everything without problems. My route was long and demanding: from Vientiane west across Laos to the Chinese border, then to Phou Samosoum (the highest mountain in Laos), through the Thakhek Loop, down to the 4000 Islands (Don Det), and finally back to Vientiane. Over this entire journey, the TVS Max proved reliable and strong. It’s clearly built for hot climates and rough conditions. I rode mostly alone, cruising around 90 km/h, sometimes up to 100 km/h. Uphill it’s a bit slow, but on flat roads I was able to overtake many lorries — as long as I had enough space. This motorbike is not about speed; it’s about reliability. Don’t take risks with overtaking and don’t expect fast acceleration. Ride calmly and let your experience guide you. Some advice from my trip: Tighten and check your chain at least once a week. Oil the chain every 3 days or even more often on bad roads. Bad roads wear the chain quickly — don’t forget this. Avoid big holes and deep sand whenever possible. Ride slowly through rough sections. The rental place was honest and professional. I paid a fair price, the motorbike was in good condition, and I was happy to return the same motorbike after many days on the road. Overall, I strongly recommend the TVS Max for Laos. It’s stable, tough, easy to handle, and made for exactly these kinds of roads. Other motorbikes can work too, but right now, if you want something reliable for riding all over Laos, my recommendation is TVS Max — especially because of the 4 shock absorbers and off-road tyres. I had a wonderful time. Moto World Explorer was here. 🏍️🌍

Hired a scooter for 4 days in Vientiane. $9 per day for a small automatic. That’s all you need around town. Easy process to get started. Had to leave passport as deposit but that’s standard practice and no issues returning it at the end. The motorbike was in ok condition and they put 1L or so fuel in at the start. Easy to fill up in Vientiane with petrol station attendants. Just tell them “full” or how much Kip you want to spend.

I sent a message on Sunday about renting a scooter - even though they were closed, they responded promptly, which was a great first impression! Their prices are standard, but what really sets them apart is the quality of their motorbikes. The scooter I rented was in excellent condition - great brakes, solid tires, and even came with half a tank of gas! After checking out several other rental shops, none of them came close to the condition of the motorbikes here. It's refreshing to rent from a place where you don't have to worry about breakdowns or being taken advantage of. I've rented from five different places across the country, and this was the only one that provided the proper paperwork in case of a police stop - huge peace of mind! The lady who helped me was incredibly friendly and patient, even letting me test a couple of motorbikes before deciding. What a treat it was to ride a scooter with new shocks! Overall, an amazing experience - I'd definitely rent here again and can't recommend them highly enough.
