Bedeutung
Paying to use a vehicle temporarily.
Kultureller Hintergrund
When you 'thuê xe máy', it's common practice to leave your passport or ID card with the owner. Don't be alarmed; this is the standard 'deposit' in many local shops. In these tourist hubs, 'thuê xe đạp' is more popular than motorbikes due to the narrow streets and pedestrian zones. Many hotels provide them for free, but street rentals are common. You will frequently hear 'mướn xe' instead of 'thuê xe'. Both are correct, but 'mướn' feels more like the local 'Saigon' flavor. Expats often 'thuê xe theo tháng' (rent by the month). This is a common way to avoid the high cost of buying and the hassle of registration.
Check the gas
In Vietnam, rental bikes are often given to you with an almost empty tank. Your first stop after 'thuê xe' should always be a 'trạm xăng' (gas station).
Take Photos
Always take photos of the vehicle's condition before you 'thuê xe' to avoid disputes over scratches later.

The 'Mướn' Factor
If you are in Saigon, try using 'mướn xe' to sound more like a local. People will be impressed by your regional knowledge!
