1. What I need to know to rent a motorcycle

Most motorcycles are confirmed within hours of booking. Some models may have limited availability. Therefore, confirmation may require up toa maximum of 48 working hours.

In the models tab, you can identify the availability. There are two possible options:

  • On demand: Models that require confirmation from the supplier.

  • Confirmed: Motorcycles that have immediate confirmation.

Some models have limited availability. This means that if there is no availability on a rental motorcycle, another option may be substituted. The new option must share similarities in terms of features and displacement.

If an inferior model is proposed and you accept it, the proportional discount will be applied.

Of course you can! The usual hours are from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Services with special schedules are subject to an additional cost; see prices in the optionals section. If you need a schedule outside the usual time slot, please leave a comment in step 4 of your reservation.

When you book a rental motorcycle through Rentalmotorbike, we will confirm both the availability and the general rental conditions.

Once we have reviewed the required documentation, it will be necessary to formalize the rental by signing a contract.

Before you start a trip with the rented motorcycle, we recommend that, together with the person in charge of the rental, you carry out an inspection of the general condition of the motorcycle, including any pre-existing scratches, which will be recorded in the contract. In this way, you will avoid surprises at the end of the rental.

Thus, checking the general condition of the rented motorcycle is crucial for several reasons:

  • Safety: By checking the condition of the motorcycle before using it, you ensure that it is in optimal condition for the trip, which reduces the risk of mechanical problems or accidents along the way.

  • Liability: By doing so with the rental manager and recording any pre-existing damage, you avoid misunderstandings or disputes later about who is responsible for the damage.

  • Additional costs: If unrecorded damage is discovered at the end of the rental, you may be subject to additional charges to cover repairs. By conducting a pre-inspection, you can avoid these unexpected costs.

  • Trouble-free experience: By knowing the condition of the motorcycle beforehand, you can enjoy your trip worry-free, knowing that it is in good condition and that any damage is already documented.

In short, pre-rental inspection is an important preventative measure to ensure your safety, avoid additional costs and have a hassle-free rental experience.

A delivery point is a place without conventional facilities. It can be a regular meeting point with specific instructions, such as an airport parking lot, or a pre-arranged location within a limited radius, such as a hotel or home address.

The prices of the rental motorcycle are calculated by intervals and with a courtesy hour. This means that 1 rental day is equivalent to 24 hours plus 1 additional hour. After the courtesy hour, it is computed as an additional day.

In both cases, you must contact the telephone number provided directly and notify the store of possible delays in your arrival and rental extensions.

Yes, in most cases, you can reserve and pay for the rented motorcycle in the name of another person. However, please note that the rental contract is formalized in the name of the main driver, who must provide a means of payment in his name or in the name of another person present and authorized at the time of formalizing the contract.

Yes, in most cases, you can hire an additional driver at an optional cost or at no additional charge. Check the available options.

No, reservations are individual. If you are a registered user, you can use the account to speed up the process.

In case you need to change the dates of your rental, you can communicate it directly through the phone number provided in the rental voucher or by email.

Of course you can! In case you wish to give away a motorcycle rental experience without a fixed date, contact us and we will provide you with a voucher with an open date.

4. Insurance & Incidents

First of all, it is essential to make sure you are unharmed and, if necessary, seek medical attention, as health is the number one priority.

Once you are in good condition, you should immediately contact your local rental office. They will provide you with further instructions depending on the nature of the accident. It is important to note that, in some cases, there may be additional costs that will be deducted from the security deposit to cover damage to the motorcycle. To prevent accidents, always remember to drive safely and respect local traffic regulations.

The phone number and email address of the local office will always be included on your motorcycle rental voucher.

At the end of the rental period, your motorcycle will be inspected by the store. If damage that was not previously present is detected, an evaluation of the damage will be made. These costs will be deducted from your security deposit, which may be temporarily blocked in its entirety.

If you wish, you may request an itemized invoice for the repairs. If the cost of repairs is less than the security deposit, the difference will be refunded to you within 5 to 10 days after resolution of the incident.

It is an amount of money previously agreed with the lessor to cover possible damages, traffic fines or fuel charges. Generally, insurance is contracted separately, either on a partial or comprehensive basis.

Generally, comprehensive insurance is not offered in motorcycle rentals. However, many rental services allow you to reduce the amount of the deposit by taking out Damage Reduction Insurance (DRI). This involves the payment of a daily fee, and the higher the fee, the greater the reduction in the excess.

There are also optional insurances that cover theft and fire, offering protection for the vehicle as a whole.

Rentalmotorbike offers medical insurance with comprehensive travel coverage, including medical expenses and repatriation for you and your companions.

Some rental centers impose significant cancellation fees, which can be up to 100% of the reservation cost. Protect your investment against unforeseen events and make sure you are reimbursed for cancellation fees.

If your rental experience was not as expected, don't worry. We have a direct line to our quality department. Share your experience with us and we will do our best to ensure your satisfaction.

Important: In general, Rentalmotorbike responds within 48 hours. If your situation is urgent, we recommend that you choose to contact us by phone.
