Motorcycle rental prices in Istanbul depend on the model: 50cc scooters start at €35/day, 125-155cc scooters cost €40-45/day, maxi scooters €60-70/day, and big bikes (BMW GS, Africa Twin) range €170-300/day. Weekly motorbike rentals get 10% off and monthly rentals 20% off automatically. Third-party insurance and a helmet are included in every rental price. Prices vary by season — the live price is always shown at booking.
Yes, a valid driving licence is required for all rentals. For scooters up to 50cc, a standard B (car) licence is sufficient. For motorcycles up to 125cc, an A1 licence is required. For mid-size bikes up to 35 kW — including maxi scooters up to 400cc — you need an A2 licence. For premium large-displacement motorcycles — such as the BMW GS series — a full A licence is mandatory. We accept licences from all EU countries, UK, Australia, and most countries worldwide. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, please carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original document.
Yes, we deliver directly to hotels in Istanbul city centre, Taksim, Beşiktaş, Kadıköy, and Sultanahmet. Delivery within central Istanbul is free of charge. For hotels outside the city, a flat delivery fee applies based on distance (typically 20-40 EUR). We hand the motorcycle over to you in person at your hotel lobby, walk you through the controls, and make sure you are comfortable before you ride. No impersonal car-park drop-offs.
Absolutely. Most of our customers rent for several days or weeks. The minimum rental period is 1 day. Weekly rentals (7+ days) receive a 10% discount automatically. Monthly rentals (30+ days) receive a 20% discount. The longer you ride, the less you pay per day. You can also extend your rental mid-trip by sending us a WhatsApp message — we will confirm availability and adjust your invoice.
Yes, a valid motorcycle licence is required for all rentals. For scooters up to 50cc, a standard B (car) driving licence is sufficient. For motorcycles between 51-125cc, an A1 licence is needed. For bikes above 125cc and up to 35 kW (including maxi scooters up to 400cc), an A2 licence is required. For more powerful machines such as the BMW GS series, a full A licence is mandatory.
Yes, European driving licences are fully valid in Turkey. We accept licences from all EU countries, as well as UK, Australian, and most other international licences. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original licence.
The minimum age to rent a motorcycle is 21 years old. For premium large-displacement motorcycles (e.g. the BMW GS series), we require riders to be at least 25 years old and hold a full A licence.
The minimum rental period is 24 hours (1 day). We offer daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates. Weekly rentals (7+ days) receive a 10% discount. Monthly rentals (30+ days) receive a 20% discount.
Yes, our standard rental includes 250km per day (3,500km per month). If you exceed this, an additional charge of €0.15 per extra kilometre applies. For long-distance touring packages, we offer unlimited mileage options — please contact us to discuss.
Please bring your original driving licence (and IDP if applicable), your passport or national ID card, and a credit or debit card for the security deposit. Digital copies are not accepted — original documents only.
Yes, compulsory third-party liability insurance (traffic insurance) is included in every rental at no extra cost. This covers damage to other vehicles and third-party injury. Full comprehensive coverage (covering damage to the rental bike, theft, and personal accident) is available for an additional €15/day.
The standard compulsory insurance does not cover: damage to the rental motorcycle itself, theft of the motorcycle, tyre punctures, damage caused under the influence of alcohol or drugs, damage from racing or off-road use, and damage from wilful negligence. Full coverage is available at €15/day to protect against most of these situations.
Mechanical failures on our well-maintained fleet are rare, but we provide 24/7 roadside assistance throughout Turkey. If the motorcycle develops a mechanical fault (not caused by the rider), we will arrange a replacement or full refund for any lost rental days. Tyre punctures are the responsibility of the renter.
Yes, we offer airport pickup and delivery for €30 from both Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW). Share your flight number when booking and we will track your arrival and wait for you at the arrivals hall — even if your flight is delayed. We are available 7 days a week for airport transfers.
Yes, one-way rentals between our Istanbul and Antalya offices are available. Drop-off at locations around Istanbul (Şile, Sapanca, Yalova) can also be arranged for an additional delivery fee. Please contact us when booking to confirm availability and pricing.
Our Istanbul office is open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 20:00, and Saturday 09:00 to 18:00. We are closed on Sundays. For airport pickup/delivery, we work outside these hours by prior arrangement. Our WhatsApp support (+90 505 123 71 11) operates 24/7 for any urgent queries during your rental.
A security deposit is required for first-time rentals. The amount varies by motorcycle category: €150 for scooters, €300 for manual motorcycles, €500 for adventure bikes, and €700 for premium large-displacement bikes. The deposit is fully refunded upon return of the motorcycle in the agreed condition.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), cash (EUR, USD, GBP, TRY), and bank transfer for advance bookings. Online reservation requests require no advance payment — payment is made on pickup day.
Cancellations made more than 48 hours before the scheduled pickup are completely free of charge. Cancellations between 24-48 hours before pickup incur a charge of 50% of the first day's rental. Cancellations less than 24 hours before pickup or no-shows are charged one full day's rental.
We understand that travel disruptions happen. If your flight is delayed, simply send us a WhatsApp message and we will adjust your pickup time at no charge. In cases of flight cancellation, we treat the situation as a free cancellation regardless of notice period — just let us know as soon as possible.
