Over the past 24 hours, the tourism market in Hue has seen a strong shift towards green travel, particularly with the boom in electric motorbike rental services. Here are the 5 most important updates for tourists.
GSM (Xanh SM), in collaboration with major accommodation providers in Hue, has announced the expansion of 10 additional pick-up points for Evo200 and Feliz S electric bikes along main roads like Le Loi, Hung Vuong, and areas near the Imperial City. This expansion allows tourists to access services within 5-10 minutes of booking. The Evo200 model, with a range of up to 200km per charge, is ideal for exploring distant tombs like Minh Mang or Gia Long Tombs.
Private electric motorbike rental companies in Hue have launched a 20% discount package for customers renting for 3 days or more. Rental prices range from 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND per day depending on the model. Guests booking via partner apps or hotel receptions will also receive a 10% discount voucher for partner cafes in the Chu Van An and Vo Thi Sau walking street areas.
One of the most critical updates in the last 24 hours is the release of the latest charging station map in Hue. Stations are now fully operational at major malls like Go! (formerly Big C), Vincom Plaza, and convenience stores along Dien Bien Phu Street. Additionally, a free 24/7 battery rescue service is now available within a 5km radius of the city center, eliminating concerns about running out of power.
Rental providers now require more professional procedures to protect tourist rights. When renting, customers need to provide an ID/Passport and a driver's license (for high-power models). Notably, mandatory civil liability insurance is now integrated into the rental price at most large companies. Tourists are advised to check tires, brakes, and lights before receiving the vehicle and to keep the technical support hotline handy.
The latest trend is vehicle management via mobile applications. Renters in Hue can now monitor battery levels, track the bike's location, and find directions to the nearest charging station via smartphone. Some companies have started implementing QR code unlocking, making the pick-up and return process fast and contactless, perfect for tech-savvy travelers.
