How to Book an Electric Scooter in Da Lat in Advance

When booking ahead makes sense

• Weekends: Saturday mornings are the busiest time at the shop and electric scooters tend to go first.
• Holidays and festival weeks: book several days ahead.
• Groups and couples: if you need two or more scooters at the same time, booking makes sure they are ready together.
• Early starts: the shop opens at 4:30 am; a booking means your scooter is ready, charged and waiting.

On a quiet weekday you can usually walk in, but a short message never hurts.

What to send in your first message

Message us on WhatsApp (+84 944 081 101 or +84 834 622 149), Zalo (0944 081 101), Telegram (@vanphudalat) or WeChat (vanphudalat). English and translation apps are fine. To confirm in one go, include:

• Pick-up date, approximate time and number of days.
• Number of electric scooters and riders — maximum 2 people per scooter, within the weight limit in our electric scooter rental rules.
• Roughly where you plan to ride. If your plans include long, steep passes such as Prenn, Mimosa or Lang Biang, we will suggest the Honda Air Blade 125cc for that day instead.
• Pick-up at the shop or delivery — for rentals of 2 days or more we deliver free to hotels in central Da Lat; send the hotel name or a map pin.

How confirmation works

We reply in the same chat with the dates, the number of scooters and the total, and keep the scooters for you. There is no booking fee and nothing to pay online: you pay when you collect, 150,000 VND per day per scooter — the same fixed price as every bike. If your plans change, just message us as early as you can so we can free the scooter for someone else. For booking any of our bikes, see also how to book a motorbike in Da Lat online.

Plan the batteries when you book

Every electric scooter comes with 2 batteries. When one runs low you can swap it for a full one at our shop for 20,000 VND. If you tell us your plan when you book an electric scooter in Da Lat, we can suggest when to pass by the shop for a swap. Our battery guide explains how to read the bars and plan your day.

On the day of pick-up

• Bring your passport (foreign guests) or ID card (Vietnamese guests) — there is no cash deposit.
• Take the free test ride in our quiet lane and get used to the soft, silent start.
• We film the scooter's condition together and check the batteries, display, brakes and lights.
• You get a free helmet for each rider and a phone holder.
• Return by 21:00 on your last day, with both batteries.

Vietnam drives on the right. No alcohol or beer when riding, and strictly follow Vietnamese traffic law. Staying for a weekend? Our electric scooter weekend plan has ideas.
