Question 1

How do I book a scooter or motorbike rental in Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Byklo lets you book a motorbike in Koh Chang in three steps: pick your dates, browse bikes from verified local shops, and pay securely online. You receive confirmation as soon as the shop approves your reservation. No need to visit the shop in advance.

Question 2

What payment methods are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Byklo accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other major cards through Stripe, our secure payment processor. Your card is authorized at booking and only charged after the shop confirms. No cash payment is needed at the time of booking.

Question 3

What license do I need to ride in Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Byklo requires all renters to hold a valid motorbike license. To ride legally in Koh Chang, you need a Thai motorcycle license or an International Driving Permit (IDP) paired with your home country license. A car-only license is not sufficient. Police checkpoints are common in Koh Chang.

Question 4

What bike types are available in Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Byklo partner shops in Koh Chang offer small scooters (110-125cc) for city rides, medium scooters (126-160cc) for day trips, comfort scooters (155-200cc) for touring, and big bikes (250cc+) for experienced riders. Every listing on Byklo shows engine size, specs, photos, and daily rates.

Question 5

What should I do if I'm in an accident in Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Byklo renters should first ensure safety, then call Thai emergency services (1669 for ambulance, 191 for police). Contact the rental shop through the Byklo messaging system or the phone number in your booking. Document the scene with photos. Most Byklo rentals include basic insurance coverage.

Question 6

What happens if my bike breaks down in Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Byklo connects you directly with the rental shop through in-app messaging or the phone number in your booking details. Most shops in Koh Chang provide roadside assistance or a replacement bike. Contact the shop as soon as the issue occurs.

Question 7

Can I take long trips from Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many Byklo partner shops in Koh Chang allow long-distance travel across Thailand. Some shops limit travel to the pickup province, so check the listing terms before booking. For extended journeys, Byklo recommends bikes with at least 150cc.

Question 8

Can I cross international borders with my rental?

Accepted Answer

No, motorbikes rented through Byklo cannot leave Thailand. Thai insurance and registration are valid within Thailand only. Taking a rental across an international border voids your coverage and violates the rental agreement.

Question 9

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Byklo offers free cancellation on most bookings. The exact cancellation window (1-7 days before pickup) depends on the shop and is shown on the listing before you book. Cancel from your Byklo account under "My Bookings" with no extra fees.

Question 10

Is insurance included?

Accepted Answer

Byklo rentals include basic insurance coverage with every booking. Coverage levels vary by shop and bike. Review the specific insurance details on the bike listing page before confirming your reservation.

Question 11

Are helmets included and required?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Byklo partner shops include 1-2 helmets with every rental at no extra cost. Thai law requires helmets for both riders and passengers. Police enforce this at checkpoints, with fines of around 500 THB for riding without one.

Question 12

What is the minimum age to rent?

Accepted Answer

Most Byklo partner shops require renters to be at least 18 years old with a valid motorbike license. Some shops set higher age or experience requirements for big bikes (250cc+). Age requirements are shown on each listing.

Question 13

What is the fuel policy?

Accepted Answer

Most Byklo rental shops use a "same to same" fuel policy: return the bike with the same fuel level it had at pickup. Fuel costs in Thailand are low, typically 35-45 THB per liter for gasoline.

Question 14

Can I rent without previous scooter experience?

Accepted Answer

Byklo requires all renters to hold a valid motorcycle license or IDP to ride legally in Thailand. Some shops accept first-time riders on small scooters (110-125cc). If you are new to riding, practice in a quiet area before heading into traffic.

Question 15

Is a security deposit required?

Accepted Answer

Most Byklo partner shops require a refundable cash deposit at pickup. The deposit amount varies by bike type: scooters typically require less than big bikes. Each listing on Byklo shows the exact deposit amount upfront. Importantly, Byklo partner shops do not hold your passport as a deposit.

Question 16

Can my scooter or motorbike be delivered in Koh Chang?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many Byklo partner shops in Koh Chang offer delivery to your hotel, airport, or accommodation. Each listing shows whether delivery is available, the delivery range, and any fee. Some shops offer free delivery within a certain radius. Select your delivery address during the Byklo booking process.

Question 17

Can I add a passenger / pillion rider?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Byklo rentals allow a passenger at no extra charge. No separate license is needed for the passenger. Helmets for both rider and passenger are included with every Byklo rental.

Question 18

Who pays traffic fines or tickets?

Accepted Answer

The renter is responsible for all traffic fines, parking tickets, and tolls during the Byklo rental period. Common fines in Thailand include riding without a helmet (500 THB) and riding without a valid license (500-1,000 THB).

Question 19

What if I return the bike late?

Accepted Answer

Late returns on Byklo rentals may incur extra charges based on the shop's hourly or daily rate. If you expect a delay, contact the rental shop through Byklo messaging as early as possible to arrange an extension.

Question 20

Where do I get the rental contract?

Accepted Answer

The rental contract is provided by the Byklo partner shop at bike pickup or delivery. Terms vary slightly by shop. Review and sign the contract before accepting the bike. Byklo ensures all partner shops provide clear documentation covering insurance, deposit, and return conditions.

Accepted Answer

Byklo emails your receipt automatically after each completed booking. You can also access all receipts anytime by logging into your account on byklo.rent and navigating to "My Bookings".
