Transportation

Transportation is one of the most exciting things when you move to Ho Chi Minh City. Most people decide to rent or buy a motorbike. 

Scooters: In Vietnam, people can rent/hire or buy a 50cc bike without needing to have a license. However, in case of accident you will need a license to have insurance coverage.

If you plan on getting a motorcycle, get your license in your home country first! It can be so much easier if you have it already and then transfer it to Vietnam.

Bicycles: Our neighborhood is also bicycle friendly. Many teachers and staff ride their bicycles to work as the roads are paved and flat. Here you will find a list of places where you can rent or buy your preferred mean of transportation.

Taxis: If two wheels isn't your thing, there are several taxi services (check out the Life Apps section) that can get you from A to B, with air conditioning too! A taxi to D2 from D7 will cost approx. 175,000 VND/$7.50 USD, depending on the time of day and your destination, of course.
