It can be quite exhausting to walk around a city like this, especially with so many attractions and neighborhoods to explore. Sure, bikes are a good way to get around, but let’s face it, they require a lot of effort and can be tiring, right?

That’s why we’re glad to have found these motorcycle rental companies as they offer a convenient and efficient way to explore Vancouver.

Vancouver’s Best Motorcycle Rentals

Motorcycles are a popular mode of transportation and a thrilling way to explore Vancouver, so if you’re planning to rent one, it’s ideal to find an establishment that has a variety of bicycles that cater to different preferences and skill levels.

You’d also like to find a rental company that offers competitive prices and excellent customer service. Check out the criteria below to see how we’ve assessed these motorcycle rental shops:

Bike Selection: In this criterion, we evaluate the range of motorcycles available for rent, including different types such as sport bikes, cruisers, and adventure bikes.

Quality of Service
• Rental Duration: We look into the length of time that the rental company allows you to keep the bike, as well as any flexibility in extending or shortening the rental period.
• Safety Gear: We assess whether or not safety gear is provided by the rental shop, including helmets, gloves, and protective clothing.

Rental Cost: We evaluate the cost of renting a motorcycle, taking into consideration factors such as daily or hourly rates, any additional fees or deposits required, and whether insurance coverage is included in the rental cost. 

Service Policies
• Cancellation Policy: In this criterion, we examine the rental shop’s policy regarding cancellations.
• Damage Policy: We also consider the rental shop’s policy on damages to the motorcycle and how it is handled.

1. EagleRider

Bike Selection	★★★★★ 5/5
Quality of Service	★★★★★ 5/5

EagleRider boasts a wide selection of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, from the classic Heritage Softail to much more swift models like the Pan American Special. But what stood out to us was their wide bike selection.

Apart from Harley-Davidson motorcycles, they also have other models such as Honda, Polaris, Yamaha, and many more. They’re pretty flexible as well in terms of rental duration as they provide both short-term and long-term rentals. 

We also liked that renting with them includes a Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved helmet. In our opinion, this eases the minds of renters knowing that they’re provided with proper safety gear.

Now, rentals here are calculated on a 24-hour increment. But we were glad to know that if you’re renting a motorcycle for seven days or more, you get a nice discount.

We also liked that they provide full consultations for renters. This covers a thorough damage and safety inspection, motorcycle features, and other things you need to know to be able to drive safely.

They’ve also got an extensive insurance policy that covers theft and damages for up to $2,000. But, one thing we didn’t like was that if you cancel within 30 days, you won’t get your money back.

Nevertheless, we thought that EagleRider deserved a spot on our list. They’ve got this killer line-up of motorcycles for rent and great policies in place

Since 1993, Cycle BC has been renting out a large selection of motorcycles, scooters, and bikes in Canada. We liked the fact that it’s run by motorcycle enthusiasts as we think it contributes to the quality of service they provide.

The first thing that got us hooked here was the free training they provide for renters. Cycle BC also has a variety of makes and models, including BMW, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda, among others.

We also appreciate their many rental inclusions. Renting with them includes riding gear, full luggage, an emergency roadside kit, and maps of Vancouver and BC.

They’re also very transparent with their rental rates, as they list everything down so prospective customers have an idea of their prices before booking.

The downside is they charge the full amount of your deposit if you cancel within 30 days. However, we did appreciate the fact that in case you get a flat tire during your journey, they’ll come right away to fix that up and get you back on the road.
All in all, we’re pretty confident in recommending Cycle BC as they offer one of the best motorcycle rentals in Vancouver.

Located in Langley, BC,  International Motorsports rents out Indian motorcycles in Vancouver and the lower mainland. Rental durations here are as flexible as it gets, as riders can rent hourly, daily, and monthly, which we thought was unique. 

This company’s bike selection is quite limited, as there are only seven makes and models available for rent. However, we do like how stylish their bikes are, as most have a sleek and modern look. 

However, we did like that they provide an orientation beforehand for safe motorcycle operation, renter’s maintenance responsibilities, and motorcycle overview.

Another thing that left a positive impression on us is that they have an exclusive Indian Motorcycle Rental Damage Waiver Program that covers $1,500 for vehicle damage or loss, which we thought was a nice perk.

Furthermore, many of the customers we’ve interviewed praise the excellent customer service they provide, citing how responsive they are and how smooth the entire transaction is.

Overall, we think International Motorsports deserves a spot on our list because of what they have to offer—flexible rental durations, sleek motorcycles, and a reliable rental damage waiver program.

Since 1917, Trev Deeley Motorcycles has sold, rented, and serviced a selection of new and pre-owned motorcycles. They serve Vancouver and other neighboring cities, such as Burnaby and Richmond.

From what we’ve seen, their bike selection includes a wide variety of makes and models from well-known brands like Harley Davidson, BMW, and Triumph. But they also have some lesser-known brands like Royal Enfield and KTM.

But what makes Trev Deeley Motorcycles unique is that they also sell riding apparel such as helmets, jackets, gloves, and boots. This allows customers to get the necessary gear to ensure their safety and comfort while riding.

Additionally, the dealership offers a range of accessories and parts to customize and enhance the performance of their motorcycles, which we liked.

Other than that, the majority of the customers we’ve spoken with describe how accommodating their service department is and how knowledgeable their staff is when it comes to repairs and maintenance.

All in all, we believe this makes them one of the best motorcycle rentals in Vancouver because they not only prioritize the safety and comfort of their customers but also provide options for customization and performance enhancement.
