Do I need an International Driving Licence?

An International Driver’s Permit (IDP), sometimes referred to as an International Driving License (IDL), is not required for all countries. However, we recommend purchasing one, especially if you frequently rent a motorcycle abroad or want to travel to places with a different writing system, such as China, Japan or Arabic-speaking countries.
In some countries it is even illegal to drive a motorcycle without an international driver’s license, depending on where you are coming from.

 

In the US and Europe, foreign motorcycle endorsed driving licenses are widely accepted to rent a motorcycle, provided the license language uses the same alphabet as the English language.

 

If you are not sure whether you want to obtain the International Driver’s Permit or not, you may ask, “Does the person at the motorcycle rental counter can understand my license is motorcycle endorsed”? Or another question “If I get pulled over, will the police officer be able to understand the information on my motorcycle endorsed driver’s license?”.
If the answer is no, an International Driver’s Permit is highly recommended.

 

The International Driver’s Permit is a “translation” of your national driver’s license and only valid in conjunction with the original driver’s license.
You must be able to produce both whenever you drive.

 

Follow this link for countries and jurisdictions that recognize IDP and further information and regulations of International Driving Permits.

Can I rent a motorcycle with a Debit Card?

Different motorcycle rental locations have different debit card policies.
In general, one can say that debit cards are not sufficient for a motorcycle rental.

You must qualify with a credit card, even if you ultimately pay the motorcycle rental with your debit card.
A deposit will be placed on hold on your valid credit card. This deposit will be released after you returned the undamaged motorcycle.

Debit cards issued under a VISA or MasterCard logo which draw funds directly from the cardholder’s account may be used to qualify for rental.

You are welcome to book your product through this website using a debit card accepted by PayPal.

How do I inquire about multiple bikes?

Do you need multiple different rental motorcycles, maybe one for you and one for your partner?
Are you looking for several motorcycles of the same model?
Want to handle your upcoming world travels and book multiple bikes at locations with different currencies?


Multiple different bikes:
Feel free to add multiple bikes and products to your availability check by clicking the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” button. Each time you add a different bike of the same currency your request will be updated. This system is able to handle multiple different rental bike models with one quote request. Feel free to add your comments before submitting the request.


Several bikes of the same model:
However if you need several bikes of the same model at the same location you will need to let us know in the comments of the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” system. This system is not providing you the option to select the same product multiple times. We know this is can be confusing but that does not mean we can’t arrange your rental with multiple of the same motorcycle models at the same location. We just have to confirm availability with the supplier before we promise you anything.


Several bikes at multiple locations with different currencies:
If you need several bikes at multiple locations with different currencies you will need to submit one bike at the time, sending only one bike on one request through the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” system. Please understand this system can not add multiple currencies to the same invoice and since we don’t change the suppliers rates we can not send you an invoice in a different currency as offered by the supplier.

Looking for a group deal?

Group rental request of 3 or more motorcycles at the same location and same rental dates might qualify for discounts.

Please select one of the groups prefered motorcycle at the location of your choice and submit your desired travel dates through the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” system.
This will allow you to add your comments and questions. Write us how many motorcycles you will need and what models each rider prefers.
Within 48 hours you will receive an email with your personal group motorcycle rental offer.

How do I inquire for a Group Reservation?

If you and your friends are looking for a group reservation, please select one product at the location of your choice and submit your desired travel dates through the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” system. This will allow you to add your comments and questions. Write us how many bikes you need and what models each rider prefers.
Within 48 hours you will receive an email with your personal group offer, subject to availability.

We recommend to only check the availability when you are ready to book.
Once availability has been confirmed by email, your offer will be valid for a limited time, usually 2 days.
Once your offer has expired, you will need to check for availability again by following the procedure through the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” section.

“Get Quote” button does not work

You click the “Get Quote & Book” button and received the following messages: “Error occurred while adding product to request a quote list”.
This means you must have selected products from multiple different currencies.
The system only allows requests and bookings of products of the same currency.

Is the posted pricing accurate?

Posted pricing are the rates known to ADMO at the time of the last update and might not represent the actual rate at the time of your booking. We should say all prices posted on this website are considered estimates only. Such an estimate is a well educated guess at what your rental or tour may cost.

Navigate to the product you want to check for availability, select your prefered travel dates and click “GET QUOTE & BOOK“.

Only the supplier will confirm its current prices and availability of your requested motorcycle rental, tour or related products, or presents current alternative offers.
You will receive the suppliers accurate offer by email.
If the product is not available the supplier’s quote usually includes a similar alternate option.
All quotes and availability are confirmed by a real person. Please allow a bit time to receive your offer.

 

Once availability has been confirmed by email, your offer will be valid for a limited time, usually 2 days.
Once your offer has expired, you will need to check for availability again by following the procedure through the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” section.

Minimum participants?

For some tours a minimum amount of paricipants is required (please not that this is a local tour operator requirement!). At the time of booking you may not know if the minimum participant quantity is reached. Usually the tour operator will let you know in advance if there is a participants issue with the tour. You usually have the possibility to decide if you still want to go on tour and pay an extra or if you want to cancel.

Can I book for another person?

If planning a motorcycle tour for yourself is exciting, imagine the thrill when you prep a tour for your group of friends.

You are welcome to place a group booking for motorcycle rentals, tours, and training and pay the balance at once.
If you prefer the individuals of your group to pay for each service themselves you will need to have them book individually.

And there’s no better way of getting people to visit than offering to pay their ride – just saying.
Regardless of whether you’re paying for people to visit you, ride with you, or to present the gift of a motorcycle tour, you will need to submit personal info about each rider and all rider need to sign a rental agreement latest at time of pick-up.

You might select different products and add them to one inquiry with the “GET QUOTE & BOOK” function.

Tell your credit card provider when you are going on this trip and which countries you will visit.

 

If you don’t tell them, your bank may block your card when you’re abroad, as foreign transactions often get flagged as suspected fraud.

Bring a backup credit card with you in case you have some issues.

Make sure you understand your card’s international fees and restrictions.
Some credit cards even offer travel insurance and other benefits.
You may want to shop around to get the best card for your trip in time.

When is the best time to rent a motorcycle?

Always. Certainly it depends where you wanna go. Europe in winter is not a good time to rent a motorcycle. Some rental stations have even closed.

About motorcycle rentals?

Although the handling of motorcycle rentals is similar to the procedures common to car rentals, there are profound differences.

  • Availability is limited and needs to be confirmed at the time of booking

  • Requested Bike Models are assigned to individual renters

  • Pricing fluctuate depending on season and requested add–ons

  • Motorcycle rental stations have individual terms

  • Restrictions may apply based on renters age, license, riding experience, etc.
