Motorcycle Rental

we are in Florida with some time to kill and was thinking about renting a bike for a day or two but having never done it before was not sure how it worked or how insurance worked. Thanks for any input

Might help to know WHERE in Florida you are!

Eagle Rider rents motorcycles out of Daytona, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Stuart/West Palm Beach.

Here's their web site: http://www.eaglerider.com/

Doug here from Anchorage, Alaska. I did a bit of research as I am hoping next summer to visit my sister in NH next summer, rent a bike and go on a tour with her to Newfoundland. She has been riding Triumphs for years and I have a RIII Roadster here in Alaska, but dont have enough time to ride across the continent so I am looking at renting.

What I found out is that Hardley Ableson operates a string of rental shops all across America-to their credit you can rent a variety of brands from them although I did not see Triumph on their list...Beamers, Gold Wings, Yamaha's, and of course Harleys. Its' not cheap, but I think within reason as I seem to recall the rates included ins. and roadside assistance. Depending on the bike and how long you want it (there was break for a week-long rental) the average was about $100.00 USD a day. -Doug

833 W. International Speedway Blvd. Int'l Speedway Blvd. is the main drag through Daytona E & W. Exit 260 or 261 off of NB I-95. Go East and you'll find their place.

I just looked at the eagle rider rentals and also found a dealer in Sanford that rents Honda / spyders.. A little under $200 a day. So we may do it , I just did not understand how the whole insurance thing worked, called my agent and he said I had to get it thru the dealer...
It is 20 degrees at home so I would love to get a day on a bike, even if it is not on the rocket....

MB and I rented a Hardly from the HD shop in Miami back in 06. Not too expensive. Got us to Key West and back.
