Book an Automatic Scooter Before Arrival

Book online before you arrive, then send your flight number, arrival date and time, resort, and scooter request on WhatsApp. The local operator can arrange pickup near Phu Quoc International Airport arrivals or delivery to your resort. Ask for written confirmation of the model, dates, meeting point, and payment terms before travelling.

How do I book an automatic scooter online?

Start with the online booking calendar and enter your rental dates. The calendars are updated in real time, so you can see which scooters are listed as available. Select an automatic scooter and use the booking form to send the request.

After submitting the form, message us on WhatsApp with the details needed for arrival coordination. We arrange the request with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.

Use this checklist:

If you are booking during peak season, reserve 2-3 days in advance where possible. Peak season is December-March and July-August. Booking in advance does not remove the need to confirm the collection details in the chat.

What arrival information does the operator need?

Send your flight number, arrival date and time, and resort before flying. This information lets the local operator plan the handover and choose the correct meeting point.

For airport collection, agree on a point near Phu Quoc International Airport arrivals. Some bookings can instead include delivery directly to a resort in Duong Dong, Sunset Town, or near Sao Beach. State the exact area clearly, especially if your accommodation is outside the main town.

Phu Quoc has short distances and gentle roads, but your first ride still depends on where you collect the scooter. Duong Dong is about 14 km from the airport. Bai Truong, also called Long Beach, runs for roughly 20 km along the west coast. Duong Dong to Bai Sao is about 26 km, or 40 minutes to 1 hour by motorbike.

If you prefer to start riding immediately after landing, ask about motorbike rental pickup at Phu Quoc Airport. Confirm the meeting point before your flight rather than relying on an unconfirmed handover.

When should I collect the scooter?

Collection should be planned within the local rental service period, which is 07:00-20:00. Send your arrival time in advance and ask the operator to confirm that someone will meet you or that the scooter will be delivered at the agreed time.

A flight delay can change the handover plan. If your arrival time changes, message us on WhatsApp as soon as possible with the new time. Do not leave the airport without confirming where and when the scooter will be available.

For a resort delivery, provide the resort name and wait for a clear handover instruction. The delivery point may be the reception area or another agreed location. Ask whether the operator needs a room number or a message to reception.

The best time to visit Phu Quoc is from November to April, but availability can still vary by date. A confirmed booking should show the collection date and the return date, not only the flight arrival information.

What should I check in the confirmation?

A useful confirmation should cover the points below:

• Automatic scooter type and requested model
• Rental start and end dates
• Airport pickup or resort delivery
• Exact meeting point or delivery location
• Planned handover time
• Contact method for arrival changes
• Cancellation deadline
• Confirmed amount and payment instructions
• What is included, such as helmets or delivery
• What documents the rider must bring

Automatic scooter rates show a guide range of USD 5-10 per day, checked on 5 November 2026. The exact amount varies by operator, dates, model, and delivery arrangement. We confirm the exact price in the WhatsApp chat before you pay.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure is stated for online scooter bookings. Read the cancellation terms in your confirmation and ask how the deadline is calculated for your booking.

For more detail about deposits, cancellation, and timing, see scooter booking payment, cancellation and timing.

What if the requested model is replaced?

A booking request for an automatic scooter does not remove the need to check the actual scooter at handover. If the model changes, ask the operator to confirm the replacement before you accept it.

Check these points:

1. Is it still an automatic scooter?
2. What make and model is offered?
3. Is the replacement suitable for your licence and riding experience?
4. Is the confirmed amount unchanged?
5. Are the helmet, fuel, and delivery arrangements unchanged?
6. Can you see current photos or receive a condition description?
7. Where and when will the replacement be handed over?

If the replacement is acceptable, ask for the new model to be written in the confirmation. If it is not suitable, message us on WhatsApp before collection. We can ask the local partner about another available automatic scooter. Do not pay or ride away until the replacement and any change in the confirmed amount are clear.

Licence rules are important when a model changes. Operators and local sources report that a petrol motorbike over 50cc needs a motorbike licence plus a valid 1968 Vienna Convention IDP. Category A1 is for bikes up to 125cc, and category A is for over 125cc. Confirm the current rule on WhatsApp or on the beach.

Operators and local sources also report that an electric scooter rated 4 kW or under, with a design speed of 50 km/h or under, needs no licence or IDP and is legal for every nationality. Confirm the current rule before booking because the replacement model may not have the same classification.

What do I do before riding away?

Compare the scooter with the confirmation and check the brakes, tyres, lights, mirrors, indicators, horn, fuel level, and visible body damage. Take clear photos or video at handover and send any concern to the operator immediately.

Wear the supplied helmet and ask how to return the scooter. Confirm the return point and time before leaving the airport or resort. If you are unsure about the route, ask for directions to Duong Dong, Bai Truong, or your resort before starting.

What should I do next?

Choose your dates in the online calendar and request an automatic scooter. Then message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, arrival date and time, resort, and preferred pickup or delivery point. We will arrange it with a local partner and confirm the exact price and booking details before you pay.
