FAQ

What type of support can tourists expect when renting from your fleet for a New Zealand tour?

We provide comprehensive support including 24/7 roadside assistance, detailed route maps, and recommendations for accommodations and stops along the way. Our goal is to make your touring experience as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible.

What are the top choices for lightweight motorcycles in your fleet that cater to riders of all experience levels and are ideal for city and highway riding?

The best lightweight motorcycles in our fleet suited for riders of all experience levels, especially for city and highway travel, include the CF Moto 450MT and the BMW F850GS. The CF Moto 450MT stands out not only for its agility and ease of handling, making it an excellent choice for new riders, but also for its capability to tackle off-road paths. On the other hand, the BMW F850GS is designed for optimal performance on paved roads and highways, offering advanced technology and comfort that appeal to both shorter and taller riders. This makes the F850GS a fantastic option for those looking to enjoy long rides on smoother terrains.

What are the insurance and security hold policies for motorcycle rentals, and how can the insurance excess be adjusted?

When renting a motorcycle, a security hold of 4,500 NZD is placed on your credit card to cover any potential insurance claims, which is released three weeks after the rental period ends. Additionally, we provide the flexibility to reduce this insurance excess to as low as 1,000 NZD, depending on the rider’s experience. This approach allows us to tailor the insurance terms to suit the proficiency and safety record of the rider, offering more experienced riders lower excess fees. Optional insurance plans are also available, offering reduced excess options for added peace of mind during your travels. This ensures that you can enjoy your ride with less financial concern and more confidence.

What are the licensing requirements for riding a motorcycle in New Zealand, and where can I find more information about driving as a foreigner?

To ride a motorcycle in New Zealand, you must hold a valid motorcycle license or an international driving permit that allows motorcycle operation. New Zealand recognizes many overseas licenses, but it’s crucial to ensure your license is current and appropriate for the type of motorcycle you intend to ride. Additionally, foreign riders should familiarize themselves with local driving laws and practices. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) offers comprehensive resources for foreign drivers, which can be found on their website. Here’s a helpful link to NZTA’s guide on driving in New Zealand for foreigners: NZTA Foreign Driver’s Guide. This guide includes crucial information on road rules, safety tips, and how to adapt to driving on the left side of the road.
