How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Chiang Mai?

Having spent more than 50 years living in Chiang Mai, we’ve seen how scooter rental prices have changed over time and what fair pricing looks like today. Prices haven’t changed drastically, but it’s important to understand a few key factors. The ma​in factor that determines rental price is engine size. In general, larger engines cost more to rent. For example, a 110cc Honda Scoopy might cost around 250–300 THB per day at most reputable rental companies, while a 350cc scooter such as a Honda Forza is typically around 1,000 THB per day. That’s a significant difference.  

Here are general daily rental prices for common scooters in Chiang Mai: 
Honda Scoopy 110cc – 250–300 THB/day 
Yamaha GT125 125cc – 300–350 THB/day 
Honda Click 125cc – 300–350 THB/day 
Honda Click 160cc – 400–500 THB/day 
Honda PCX 160cc – 500 THB/day 
Honda Forza 350cc – 1,000 THB/day 
Honda ADV 350cc – 1,000 THB/day 
Yamaha Xmax 300cc – 1,000 THB/day

Most shops will also offer discounted rates for weekly and monthly rentals, making long-term rental much more cost-effective.  

Choosing the right scooter depends on both your budget and how you plan to use it. We've been riding in Chiang Mai for decades and we think the Honda Click 160cc is the best all-round scooter for the city. It’s powerful enough for mountain roads like the Samoeng Loop, yet still compact and easy to handle in traffic-heavy areas like Nimman and the Old City.    

At Scooter Hub Chiang Mai, our pricing for the Honda Click 160cc is very competitive: 
400 THB per day 
2,000 THB per week 
3,600 THB for 2 weeks 
4,000 THB per month      

One important thing to always consider when renting a scooter is the hidden 'scam' costs. Many shops charge customers for even minor scratches, turning a cheap daily rental into an expensive surprise at drop-off. 
We've heard so many horror stories from tourists about how they were forced to pay crazy amounts for damages they didn't even cause. That’s why it’s important to choose a rental company that offers free scratch insurance, so you can ride without worrying about unexpected charges.
