Bicycle & motorcycle

Bicycles can be rented for 15,000 kip per day from tour agencies and guesthouses in the city centre. Scooters cost around US$6 to US$8 per day. Shop around for one in good condition (your safety depends on it). Without insurance, most hirers expect you to pay to replace the bike if it is seriously damaged or stolen. Read the fine print before signing any contracts and ask your guesthouse to lock your bike inside overnight.
