All our rental motorcycles are maintained by fully qualified motorcycle technicians and are New Zealand Government Transport certified for rental vehicles. Most models have hard case panniers and soft luggage bags are available for smaller models. In the unlikely event of a motorcycle breaking down, we will repair the machine or replace it as soon as possible.

Licences must have a motorcycle endorsement for 650cc or above. If your licence is not in English, an international driving permit will be required.

A bond equal to the excess amount is required from the hirer at the time the motorcycle is picked up. This bond is to be secured with a credit card slip and is fully refundable when the motorcycle is returned undamaged to Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours. Any damage to the motorcycle, up to the insurance excess will be deducted from the security bond (or CDW amount if applicable).

Motorcycle insurance is included in the rental rates. It covers damage to the motorcycle, fire and theft only. The hirer is separately liable for any accessories hired with the motorcycle. The insurance excess (deductible) varies per model and is listed in the schedule Insurance Deposits.

Once a booking is confirmed we require a deposit of 20% for hires and 10% for tours. Once Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours has received the deposit a receipt and booking confirmation will be emailed to you. The remaining balance is then due on pick up for hire only or 60 days prior for tours.
