After 94 countries, I've become a bit of an expert and connoisseur of vehicle rentals, being a motorcycle rider most of my life, I seen the absolute dregs of rental vehicles.
From the bald tires and last rites of motorbike rental in Cambodia, to the horrific completely misrepresented (?!car?) rental criminals of Chișinău, Moldova to the excellent car rentals of Munich Germany.
DonDon at Bohol Bikes runs his business as every motorbike rental should.
Thorough communication both in person and the ability to look and book your rental reservation online on his website...
Wonderful when you are looking for an accurate quote, with no bait and switch add on surprises.
The motorbikes are kept in great shape and presently all have pretty low mileage.
Great tires, clean well-maintained, brakes stop when you want to (I have stories in other countries of me playing Fred Flintstone (a link for you with abused childhoods deprived of Flintstone cartoons ) https://youtu.be/skeg3Y6sptg
DonDon will give you a full briefing and checkout on each bike and your basic riding abilities, which include wearing a helmet which are also well kept and clean.
If you are new to motorbike renting, the Honda Click 125cc is the Cadillac of SE Asia.
The only thing in addition to being safe and aware of your surroundings at all times because, sadly most of the serious accidents are with tourists having too much fun and a little too many adult beverages, riding too fast and carelessly.
That said, all motorbike rentals in SE Asia do not cover accident or injury insurance. So use care when riding.
DonDon will expect his motorbikes to come back in the same condition, minus usual wear and tear in the same condition it left his shop.
Which is a reasonable expectation of any kind of business owner.
However, if the occasional mirror breaks, flat tire etc happens, in SE Asia you are expected to pay for repair.
The upside is these repairs are very inexpensive compared to most visitors home country.
DonDon will very fairly assess the cost of parts and replacement without taking advantage of the situation in getting his motorbikes back in shape and back on the road.
Something hard and refreshing to find these days.
I rented for 90 days and got a great deal all things considered with a newer bike in perfect working order, real helmet, great online booking, pricing and DonDon there to help you on your way to enjoy your time in Panglao and the rest of Bohol. read more
