Everybody, absolutely everybody agrees the South Island is the jewel in the crown of New Zealand, The highest mountains, glorious rainforests, lakes of azure blue, the hottest and coldest of places, the quietest roads and best curves are in the South. No question ! The South Island should be the focus of any motorcycle trip in New Zealand.

However, the North Island has it's gems too....the very beautiful and romantic Bay of Islands, majestic mountains, lush native forest, one of the worlds finest wine growing regions in Hawkes Bay,and a capital city Wellington located on a harbour.

Ok, both islands offer a lot for you to see and do, tell us what you want from your New Zealand holiday and we can help you plan accordingly.

For any motorcycle rental less than 14 days we would recommend the South Island, for 3 weeks spend 2 weeks in the South and one in the North. You won’t regret it and a quick look at our tour itineraries will confirm this.

All rental motorcycles comply with NZ Government regulations and have passed a current vehicle safety inspection. All motorcycles have been maintained to the highest professional standards. There are no short cuts and no cheap fixes. This is our guarantee.

The Bond is the excess we pay on the full insurance of the motorcycle, this varies from model to model of motorcycle in our fleet.  This is held as an electronic authorisation on your credit card until the day you return.  Should there be any damage to pay for, we go over this with you and in most cases the amount is deducted and the balance cleared on the same day.

The Bond can be substantially reduced by a bond buyout scheme if your rental period is longer than 7 days.

Call us as soon as you can.  We are available 24/7 to assist you with any problem you may encounter, we are here to help you.

Our Full Motorcycle Insurance covers accident, fire, theft, third party damage and public liability in excess of the Bond.

Because of New Zealand's publicly funded accident compensation scheme, no fault insurance is provided to users of motor vehicles.  This means nobody can be sued by any other party involved in an accident in any circumstances. Normal insurance takes care of damage to the vehicles and the New Zealand health system takes care of the injuries. It's very neat and tidy.

If you are an overseas visitor, you don't need to arrange insurance to cover the motorcycle or yourself should you have an accident.  However, we do strongly recommend that you arrange Travel Insurance before you leave your homeland.  This will cover you personally in the event of sickness, theft of personal belongings, any cancellations, and any damage costs that may be deducted from the bond on the bike.  

Our insurance cover precludes any cover at all for those under 21 years of age and restricts those between 21 and 25 to 650cc or less.
