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.
Tassie Two Wheeled Tour Phil who runs TMTR is a genuine bloke, a rider himself. He went out of his way to provide me with the best bike for me - not just upsell the fee! I loved Tassie and the Triumph was a perfect bike for the ride. I highly recommend TMTR
Mike M27-02-2022Amazing experience!! Highly recommend! We wanted to celebrate our 50th Birthdays with a motorcycle road trip around Tasmania… & can’t recommend Phil of TMTR highly enough for helping create a truly awesome experience!
Phil picked us up from the airport, pre-programmed an amazing 10 day itinerary into the GPS with all the best roads & ‘must see’ points of interest which was a God-send seeing it was our first time in Tassie! All accommodation was booked for us as well. All we had to do was hop on the BMW R1250 GS and head off on the adventure of a life time! The bike was in immaculate condition & ideal for handling Tassie’s ever changing weather conditions. All accommodation was walking distance to a nice pub or hotel for dinner which was great after a day of riding. With everything organised by Phil, it allowed us to just relax and enjoy the adventure. And when we finished our road trip, Phil dropped us back to the airport for our return flight home. Can’t get better service than that 😉Explore0959012367927-02-2022Wonderful motorcycle trip to Tasmania Our trip was booked at fairly short notice but despite that Phil put together an outstanding ten days for my wife and I.
We rode some 2300kms on two BMW 750GS
bikes and they proved ideally suited for the Tasmanian conditions. This is motorcycle country and the scenery both coastal and inland is breathtaking. Except for the cities, traffic is light so there is plenty of time to enjoy the journey.
Phil put together a great trip with relatively easy daily runs and points of interest and stops along the way. The itinerary pack is backed up on the GPS so it really is trouble free. Accomodation is comfortable and in most cases the bikes were parked in front of our rooms. Panniers, tank bags and top boxes were perfect for our needs.
Being collected and dropped at the airport is a massive bonus.AllanC2216-02-2022Tassie Two Wheeled Tour Phil who runs TMTR is a genuine bloke, a rider himself.

Lyndall01-02-2022Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! We booked a two week motorbike trip for our honeymoon with Phil and TMTR. We provided a rough outline to Phil who then created a fantastic itinerary for us. Phil is very knowledgeable about the best routes to take and when to take them and suggested some great activities & tours. Phil also has great connections with accomodation and activity providers and received great deals for us. We hired a BMW 1200 GS which was in a great condition and we felt very safe the entire time, especially knowing that Phil was just a phone call away. We saw so much in our 2 weeks but already want to come back and do another tour through Phil & TMTR. Some recommendations from us would be to book your trip with Phil! And book ahead for the Floating Sauna in Derby and if heading to Cradle Mountain go to the Waldheim Spa and book The Sanctuary for an hour or two, perfect after spending a couple of days on the bike! Thank you so much Phil & Christine!

Courtney H01-12-2021How 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.
CheersScott H04-11-20217 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!

Scott H01-10-2021Quality bikes and great friendly service, recommended! 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.
Mark Booth20-04-2021Amazing experience Really enjoyed the whole experience with Phil at TMTR. Bikes were trouble free and well maintained. Enjoyed the whole trip
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
