Moto/ Scooter: If you’re young enough, although at heart anyway, you’ve got to try seeing Phu Quoc on a motor scooter. It can be hired for $5 – $12 a day from your hotel or resort.
– There is no paperwork, no insurance and no deposits, you just negotiate if you break or lose the bike.
– There is also a request that you refill with fuel when you finish. Roads here are mostly red dirt full of pot holes and there are no traffic rules.
– You are responsible for not hitting anybody or anything and you are responsible for nobody else hitting you.
– You are supposed to drive on the right, but not everybody always does that
– A typical repair shop is GIA PHU on 25 Tran Phu in Duong Dong. Depending on the severity of the damage, it could save you a lot of money.

Jeeps: Your next good option is a Jeep with a driver. Call Jeep for Rent locally on 0939 402 872 ($30 for 6 hours, $50 for 24 hours). For the best but most expensive jeep, call La Veranda on 0773 982 988.
