  • Can I rent a helmet and riding gear?

    IMTBIKE does rent quality motorcycle gear including helmets, motorcycle jackets and gloves. To find out more about our equipment rental and prices please contact us.

  • Can I ride the motorcycle outside of Spain?

    Our motorcycles can be ridden in other European countries. It is a good idea to list the countries that you intend to visit during your rental in the comment section of the booking form.  It is strictly forbidden to take our motorcycles to Morocco or outside Europe. Outside of Europe there is no insurance coverage and the customer would be responsible for all damages that might occur as well as for the loss of revenue to IMTBike for each day that the motorcycle would be unavailable to the company.

  • Can I ride the motorcycle offroad or on a racetrack?

    Track riding and non-asphalt roads are strictly prohibited on all IMTBIKE motorcycles. There is no insurance coverage on the motorcycles for off-road or racetrack riding and you will be responsible for the full amount of the damages and loss of income to IMTBIKE.

  • What is the difference between regular insurance and the VIP insurance?

    Both insurance policies are full coverage. The regular insurance has a damage deductible of 3000 Euros, and the VIP insurance has a damage deductible of 500 Euros. The regular insurance is included in the rental cost and the VIP insurance costs 25 Euros/day extra. The VIP insurance can only be taken out on rentals 4 days or longer.

    The motorcycles must be picked up and dropped off at our rental centers. This is where we do all the paperwork and sign the contracts.

  • How does IMTBIKE calculate rental days?

    IMTBIKE has morning and evening pickup and drop off times. The morning times are from 10:00 to 11:00 AM and the evening times from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.  *As a courtesy IMTBIKE will let you pick up the bike on the previous night of your first rental day and drop off the bike on the following morning after your last rental day at no extra charge.

  • My friend and I have rented two different models for the same trip. Is it ok to switch bikes to try the different models during our trip?

    Absolutely. If you and your friend want to switch bikes to test ride two different BMWs that is fine with us. In case of damage, the tenant will be responsible for it.

  • I am only interested in renting one model but I have to put down a second choice on the booking form, how can I make sure I get my first motorcycle choice?

    In the “comments” section write that you are only interested in renting your first choice and we will take that into account when we process your booking form.
