Monthly Motorcycle Rental

Anyone know of a company/place/person even that does MONTHLY motorcycle rental? My job is sending me to the bay area CA for 4-6 weeks and I’d rather not rent a car. They will be reimbursing me for the cost, but all the rentals i’ve seen are $125-$250 per day, and they won’t cover that.

Ideally i want a HD road glide or street glide, but wouldn’t mind an fxr/dyna.

I’m an experienced rider, I know the area well as I lived there for 3 years, I hold insurance for my own bikes (probably doesn’t matter) and I won’t be doing many miles. Mostly SJ to SF on the weekends and local commuting.

Any help appreciated!

Motoquest's discounts are pretty good after 14 days. They're great people who look after their bikes, and you might be able to ask for an additional discount for a full month. I think they're basically all BMWs, though.

Although the listings are a per day charge, I believe you can reach out to the individual renters on Rider’s Share. Maybe you can reach out to an individual renter and see if they would be willing to give you a discount for a long term rental.

So… what does the rental company do when the bike gets stolen right out from under you at the first light you stop at…? That could be why rental in that area is expensive.

I assume you mention this due to it being in SF? That shit definitely happens. That’s why i kept the pew pew in the fairing when i lived there!

That’s probably one reason they all mandate Insurance coverage. along with the inevitable drops from inexperienced weekend renters.
