If you'd like to hire a bike for 1 - 4 days, a flat day rate is applicable. Please contact us for longer term rentals (more than 4 days) where you may qualify for a discounted rate, depending on the length of your rental.
Pls note our online booking site does have dynamic pricing for different lengths of rentals.
