The simple way to rent BMW motorbikes, rider equipment and accessories.

Customers can find the BMW motorcycle of their choice in just a few clicks. Furthermore, suitable rider equipment and accessories such as panniers or a navigation device can be booked additionally when renting the motorbike.

The system enables binding real-time booking of rental motorbikes, showing the desired rental period at the destination including direct availability of the desired motorbike. Motorcycles can be rented for a period of between one day and a maximum of 28 days. Certified

BMW Motorrad rental partners with trained dealership personnel ensure a professional handover of the motorcycle directly at the booking location.

Rent A Ride offers great potential in the tourism sector, too: motorcycle-loving holidaymakers can simply book a motorbike locally during their stay. Feel like crossing a mountain pass on a

BMW R 1250 GS or exploring your holiday destination in laid-back style with zero emissions on a BMW CE 04 e-scooter? Everything is possible. The booking can be combined with a predefined route that takes you past the most interesting sights and is already stored on the BMW Motorrad navigation device.

Explore faraway countries by motorbike or try out the world’s most spectacular race tracks.
