Where to rent a motorcycle while mine's being repaired?

Growl
Always been a two-wheels guy, love riding my bike everywhere. Can't stand cars, I'm all about the speed and wind in my face. But I crashed my bike lately and while it's in the shop getting fixed, I need something to ride. Are there even motorcycle rental places out there? Never had to look for one before since I've always had my own.

Finding a temporary bike is definitely possible but expect some hoops to jump through. Most places want proof of your motorcycle endorsement and documented riding experience. Insurance runs higher since bikes carry more risk than cars. Big chains at airports sometimes stock motorcycles but their selection's weak and prices are inflated. Local spots in touristy areas tend to have better variety and more reasonable rates. Watch out for deposits, some hold a serious chunk of your credit card until you bring it back without damage.

Commercial spots can work but their inventory might not match what you're used to riding. Peer-to-peer options give you way more choices since individual owners list all kinds of bikes. Check out motorcycle for rent here https://getrentacar.com/en-US/motorcycle-rental . Owners rent out their personal bikes when they're not using them, so you get access to different models and styles. Usually cheaper than going through a company and the owners are riders themselves so they understand what you're looking for. Just make sure insurance coverage is clear before you commit to anything.
