You must be aged 18 to 99 years of age to rent a 350cc or 450cc motorcycle and aged 20 to 99 years of age to rent a 650cc motorcycle from us.

What kind of licence do I need to rent?

You need a full motorcycle licence to ride a motorcycle or scooter in Ireland. The category of licence must match the category of motorcycle or scooter being rented. Learner permits are not sufficient, you must have passed a test. A car licence is not sufficient even if your home country allows you to ride a motorcycle on a car licence. All overseas licences are accepted. An English language international licence is needed for non-English language licences. If in doubt please ask.

Does your rental include insurance?

Yes. Insurance is included in your booking and is itemised in your booking summary. Your liability is limited to €1500 in the event of a third party claim or motorcycle damage / theft. We will not deal with third party excess insurance companies. The deposit must be paid when you collect the motorcycle.

Yes. Luggage is included in your rental free of charge and riding gear is available to rent on premises at very low rates.

No. We keep costs low by ignoring all special requests. We will not answer you so please don't ask.

What riding gear can I rent?

Helmets are a legal requirement throughout Europe. Rates are €30 per item per rental so jacket, helmet and gloves will be €90 for the rental (equivalent to €9 per day for a 10 day rental).

Do you track your bikes? Is mileage limited?

Yes we do track our bikes. This is for insurance purposes and it helps us locate you in case of emergency or breakdown.

Mileage is limited to an average of 250km per day per motorcycle over the total rental period. Extra mileage is charged at the end of the rental at €1.00 per km.

What happens if my licence is not valid or not available at time of collection?

You must present a physical valid drivers licence at time of collection of the motorcycle. If your licence is out of date, does not include a motorcycle endorsement or you forget to bring your licence then your booking will be deemed to have been cancelled by you and no refund will be made. Absolutely no exceptions to this rule.

What happens if it's raining at time of collection?

All our motorcycles are waterproof and operate adequately in the rain. If you decide not to take the motorcycle due to rain or other weather conditions not agreeable to you then your booking will be deemed to have been cancelled by you and no refund will be made. Absolutely no exceptions to this rule.
