Have Questions?
Here are some questions we are often asked. Please contact us if you have any other questions regarding any of our services and we will endeavour to answer you as quickly as possible.
Yes we equip every one of our bikes with Garmin GPS units. They are free of charge (there is a fee to pay if you lose one). If you are on one of our guided tours, then we will load up suggested routes for you to use as a guide to get between the night's accommodation. The Garmin units are easy to use and can show the nearest cafes, fuel stops etc as you ride along your journey.
We try and accommodate everyone so that you can maximise your holiday experience. Generally, motorbikes are rented out on a 24-hour basis. Ideally, if you fly in as early as possible and fly out as late as possible, then you can maximise the amount of riding you do in Tasmania without additional Hotel charges. Saying that, if you wanted to extend the beginning or end of your riding Holiday with additional days in or near Hobart, then we can help with arranging these dates. Please remember that Tasmania is a small Island and accommodation can fill up quickly (especially in/around Dec/January). Booking ahead can save you money on flights and we recommend you look into your flights as soon as possible.
We do have limited supply of riding gear, but as you can imagine, for a small company, its impossible to have every size of everything in stock. Ideally pack all the motorcycle gear you normally ride whilst at home, plus the clothes you will wear in the evenings when not on the bikes. When you pick up the bike, we can safely store your luggage and you can repack your clothes into the luggage on the bikes.
7 day break from reality Shoutout to Phil & Christine for hooking me up with their new GS1250 for a 7 day break from reality. Phil’s full of knowledge when it comes to riding around Tassie and will certainly go out of his way to help you out with any tips or questions you may have. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to tackle Tassie on 2 wheels!
Luke T01-10-2021How easy was that......Phil knows Tasmania!! Big thanks to Phil and Christine. Myself and 3 mates hired bikes for 5 days and thanks to the quality of bikes and Phil's route suggestions we had an awesome trip. Phil could not have done anymore for us thru the whole process- i/we will certainly be back at some stage. I personally jumped on 1 of the Tiger 800's and while it was a step down in power from my normal ride it was a fantastic ride for the purpose of touring Tassie. Even when it was wet it was great. Cheers

Hired a Triumph Tiger 800 XRx from Phil - he's very organised, very helpful, good range of bikes and they are all perfectly maintained in great condition with luggage bags and top-boxes etc. Friendly terrific guy, I can heartily recommend him, even mentioned him in the video I made of the ride at https://youtu.be/tAzzhTBweKs If you are hiring a motorbike in Tasmania, be sure to call or email him, very worthwhile.

I would highly recommend Tasmanian Motorcycle Tours and Rentals to anyone who is thinking of hiring bikes and doing a tour around Tasmania including accommodation.I gave Phil a rough idea of the places I wanted to see and how many days I wanted to tour.Phil got back to me very quickly with an Itinerary that suited us.(We didn’t have to follow it exactly, it was only a guide).We decided to do 9 days, 8 nights.Monday March 5 – Tuesday March 16, 2021.The tour included airport pick up and drop off. (Phil was waiting at the airport for us). Airport to Phil's place is approx 20 mins.The bikes were great, very comfortable. (Triumph Tiger 800 XRx) 1 x normal, 1 x low seat.Fuel range approx. 400kms.Phil had every place of interest logged into favourites on the Garmin Sat Nav. (Easy to use)He also supplied maps with all places listed for every day. (This went in the tank bag)He had all our accommodation booked.(We were happy with all accommodation he booked for us).The pricing is very reasonable.The weather was brilliant and we only had 1 rainy day.5 stars.

jamiesI2602IN27-03-2021Bruny Island Motorbike Tour I was keen to go for a motorbike cruise with my partner down to Bruny Island and 'Tasmanian Motorcycle Tours and Rentals' provided a near new motorbike that was perfect for the Tassie roads.
Phil gave some great tips for our loop which saved us time and ensured we made the most of our day on the bike.
We were also provided jackets, gloves and near new helmets at no extra charge.
I will definitely utilise TMTR next time and try and squeeze in a few more days to tour more of Tasmania.marcusn53722-03-2021
