The deposit on a monthly rental is the same instrument as on a daily rental — typically 2,000,000–5,000,000 VND depending on the vehicle and conditions — but it is held for weeks instead of days, which changes how you should treat it.

The amounts

The band is the same regardless of rental length: typically 2,000,000–5,000,000 VND, set by the shop depending on the bike and the conditions of the agreement. The general deposit picture is in motorbike-rental-deposit-hanoi. Payment of the rental itself is by cash, bank transfer or QR.

What a month-long hold changes

  • Documentation matters more: a receipt at handover, and photos of the bike’s condition, are what settle any end-of-term disagreement — the return process is in how-deposit-returns-work-hanoi
  • Condition drift: weeks of commuting add small wear and new scratches. Note new marks as they happen (a quick photo), so the final walk-around has no surprises
  • Risk exposure: the bike is in your care far longer, which makes the security habits in keeping-rental-motorbike-secure-hanoi genuinely financial, not just prudent

Agreeing the return standard at the start

The move that saves the most friction: agree at handover what the deposit is held against. Fair wear (tyre wear from normal commuting, weather fading) versus damage (drops, crashes, neglect) — and the consumables question, since tubes and tyres may be the renter’s responsibility depending on the situation. Put the agreed points in a message so both sides share one record. The full list of long-term terms is in motorbike-rental-agreement-long-term-hanoi.

What is not covered by the deposit

The deposit is not insurance. Nguyen Tu does not provide motorbike insurance, and theft or loss situations follow the responsibility rules in theft-loss-responsibility-rental-motorbike-hanoi — which is another reason month-scale renters treat security seriously.

Getting it back

At term end: return the bike in the agreed condition, at the agreed time (late return carries 20,000 VND per hour, and more than six hours late may be charged as a full additional day — see late-return-monthly-rental-hanoi), complete the return walk-around with the same photos-and-attention you gave the handover, and the deposit is returned per the agreement. Ending the term early is a separate conversation — see early-return-monthly-rental-hanoi.

The one-line version

Same band as daily rentals, held longer: document at handover, log condition as you go, agree the return standard in writing, and treat security as deposit protection.
