Renting Motorcycles

Buying, Driving, and Other Tips for Motorcycle Rentals during Travel

If you and your partner are enjoying some much needed quiet time abroad or just out of town, why not add an exciting twist to your vacation by renting a motorcycle instead of the usual car and limousine?

Benefits of Motorcycle Rentals

Efficient Traveling - Riding a motorcycle will get you to where you're going much quicker than a car would because motorcycles are able to make use of passages and perform nifty moves that bulky vehicles are essentially unable to do.

Affordable Solution - Motorcycle rentals are also cheaper than car rentals. Why spend more when you don't have to? With motorcycle rentals, you'll have extra pocket money to spend!

Option for Private Transportation - If you're heading to Venice, you should know that this lovely Italian city doesn't allow people to use cars; you can however use motorcycles if you're not that fond of manual bikes or walking.

Tips on Renting a Motorcycle

Selection - It's best that you rent from a shop which allows you to choose from a varied selection of motorcycles. In the event that your rented motorcycle will malfunction, the shop will surely be able to send you a replacement unit immediately.

Support and Services - If there are documentation needs for you to take care of before being able to rent a motorcycle, is the shop willing and able to help you take care of these requirements?

Price - Lastly, always compare prices and rates before making the final decision of where you're going to rent a motorcycle.

Using and Driving a Rented Motorcycle Out of Town or Abroad

Always make sure that you have obtained the necessary license and other documentations before renting out any motorcycle. Laws regarding use and driving motorcycles after all varies from state to state (or country to country for that matter) so you may need to take additional tests even if you're already a licensed motorcycle driver back at home.

Don't forget to ask about insurance. Again, insurance requirements depend on where you'll be using your rented motorcycle so you may also need to obtain additional but temporary insurance to be able to legitimately use a motorcycle on foreign roads.

Familiarize yourself with traffic and driving rules and regulations for motorcycles at your destination.

Clean your rented motorcycle regularly and treat it with care to avoid paying penalties later on. If, however, something still happens with your rented motorcycle, don't attempt DIY repair unless you're professionally qualified to do so or it's an emergency.

Is it safe to ride a motorcycle in SE Asia?
I would really like to rent a motorbike and drive around Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand. I don't know how to ride a motorcycle but if it's easy enough to move like that around South East Asia I will take some classes and hopefully I'll be able to travel independently. How about rented motorcycle quality/safety? Safety on roads/quality on roads? Is it OK for a foreigner (female) to do anything like that?

Want to take a vacation to Arizona, any suggestions for places? Renting motorcycles too?
Was planning on taking a short little vacation with my girlfriend, thinking of Arizona. Was going to check tripadvisor and orbtits but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for areas to check out or hotels you recommend. Probably just going to be for like 3 days, Fri, Sat, Sun. Also hoping to rent a motorcycle and cruise around the desert for a while. Thanks
