Choosing a Motorcycle Helmet — Types and Prices

Helmet types and safety certifications

Helmet quality

DOT or ECE certified helmets are legally acceptable. Our rentals include a helmet; tighten the chin strap — loose helmets are fined.

  • Long sleeves for sun and falls
  • Closed shoes (not flip-flops)
  • Rain jacket in wet season

Optional extras

Phone mount (use only when parked), dry bag for documents, and sunscreen for exposed arms.

Thailand Moto Rent policy

  • We do not hold passports. A credit card pre-authorization is used for deposit; released when you return the bike.
  • IDP (International Driving Permit) is mandatory. Thai police accept only a Thai licence or IDP for foreigners.
  • Rental terms: Valid motorcycle IDP required; no rental without it.
  • Riding without IDP and any fines are entirely the customer's responsibility.
  • Daily rental. If returning late, notify us on WhatsApp.
  • No test rides.
  • Damage: Without insurance, repair cost + lost rental days. Full coverage recommended.
  • Drunk riding carries severe penalties.
