Payment
A 20% deposit will secure your motorcycle and booking. Email us or book online, provide some details and we'll do the rest. The balance is due 30 days before your rental (but we don't mind if you pay up front). Credit card or bank transfer will work and we'll guide you. If you're a competent motorcyclist, over 21 and own a valid and full motorcycle licence from your own country (readable in english or International Licence) you're good to go.

Safety
Safety is paramount in our business, so it's important to know that you've chosen a trustworthy company with compliant, reliable machines that won't let you down. Before you depart we'll go through the NZ Road Rules with you, show you a safety video, answer questions, and of course there's the usual Rental Agreement to sign. We'll help you familiarise yourself with the vehicle until you are totally confident. How do you know you're going to be safe in a country you don't know, and on a bike that's not your own. No problem! Hire from a Qualmark New Zealand Government Accredited company such as ours who do not allow their bikes to ride 'off-road', and who have genuine good reviews on TripAdvisor.
Hours of Business and Rental Period
Your Rental is based on a 24-hour period. For example (eg 9am to 9am). We're on call for assistance 24/7. Motorcycle Pick up and Drop-off hours are between 9am and 4.00pm Monday to Friday and other times by arrangement. We're a family business so we can be flexible and look forward to working with you on your requirements. If you're flying long distance please get a good night's sleep before you pick up your bike. We can book you in to some great lodgings at a good price.

Seasons
High Season is December to March inclusive, the weather during this time is very reliable. Low Season is April through to November inclusive when you can take advantage of great rates. In June, July and August there is a risk of some mountain pass closures due to snowfall.
Fuel
You'll notice that we add a small charge for a tank of gas when you book. This way, you can be assured that your motorcycle will be full to the brim with quality 95 octane fuel when you depart,
and you don't have to waste time hunting round for a gas station when you return.
