The People's Committee of Hoi An City has officially announced a new directive to tighten vehicle emission controls in the ancient town's buffer zones. Accordingly, the city encourages 100% of tourists to transition to green transportation. This decision immediately gave a massive boost to the local electric motorbike rental market, with search and booking volumes surging by 45% in just the last 24 hours. Tech-enabled electric bike companies are urgently scaling up their fleets to meet this sudden spike in demand.
Great news for the backpacking community: an alliance of electric vehicle providers in Hoi An has completed the installation and commissioning of 15 next-generation Battery Swapping Stations, strategically distributed from the ancient town to An Bang Beach and Tra Que Vegetable Village. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, tourists renting electric motorbikes can now swap a fresh battery at these automated stations in under 2 minutes. This technology completely eliminates range anxiety, ensuring a seamless and worry-free heritage exploration journey.
In response to Eco-Tourism Week, major electric motorbike rental agencies in Hoi An have concurrently launched an highly attractive promotional campaign named "Green Summer Hoi An". Tourists booking smart electric motorbikes via mobile apps will receive an immediate 20% discount on daily rentals (down to only 120,000 VND/day). Notably, the promotion includes a free, unlimited battery-swapping package throughout the rental period and integrates a digital map guiding users through Hoi An's most scenic green routes.
This morning, leading luxury resorts including Anantara Hoi An Resort and Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa signed strategic partnerships with tech-focused electric vehicle rental startups. Under the agreements, these resorts will set up dedicated e-motorbike rental hubs on-site and offer exclusive privileges, such as free or highly discounted battery-swapping e-motorbike rentals for long-stay guests. The synergy between luxury hospitality and sustainable mobility is setting a new benchmark for high-end travel experiences in Hoi An.
To optimize the experience for international travelers, rental operators in Hoi An have officially adopted global digital identity verification (e-KYC). International tourists only need to scan their passport and International Driving Permit (IDP) on the mobile application to complete the electric motorbike rental process within 3 minutes, entirely hassle-free and without requiring a cash deposit. The e-motorbikes are delivered directly to hotels or train stations, equipped with standard helmets and multi-language GPS navigation systems for maximum convenience and safety.
