When you're looking to rent a motorcycle for a weekend or a road trip, one question often comes up: is it better to go through a private rental platform or contact a professional?

While private hire platforms may seem attractive at first glance, they sometimes hold a few nasty surprises in store. Good Motors offers a simple, reliable and professional alternative: self-service online motorcycle rental in over 10 French cities.

Good Motors, online self-service motorcycle rental

Good Motors offers a 100% online motorcycle rental service, available 24/7 from parking lots located in the immediate vicinity of train stations and airports. The experience is fluid, fast and designed for urban travelers and road trip enthusiasts alike.

No waiting in line, no unnecessary paperwork: you reserve your bike online, pick it up when you want, and off you go. The equipment is ready, the bikes are professionally maintained, and insurance is included.

Start by visiting our website https://goodmotors.agency/

Then select your departure city, and your desired rental dates.

Then select the motorcycle model you like, and fill in the indicated fields. Don't forget to indicate any equipment you'd like, as well as any luggage extras.

Payment is made online via the secure Stripe platform.

We will then check your driver's license and provide you with a link to make a bank imprint as a deposit.

On the day, you will receive all the information you need to get to where our bikes are parked. You'll then be able to identify yours by license plate number.

In the explanatory e-mail, you'll also find the code for the key box. You'll also find the key to the padlock, as well as a badge to exit the parking lot (depending on the city concerned). Be sure to keep your keys and badge!

If you have chosen additional equipment, it will be stored in a locker next to the bike. All that's left to do is take stock of the situation, install and put on your equipment, switch on the ignition and off you go!

What are the advantages of renting a motorcycle from Good Motors rather than from a private individual?

While rental platforms between private individuals have developed in recent years, they often involve hourly negotiation, bikes with uncertain histories, and a certain amount of unpredictability.

Good Motors offers a clear, professional framework with no surprises.

Case study: a weekend in Normandy

You're planning a weekend trip to the Normandy coast. With a platform between private individuals, you'll need to coordinate schedules, drive across town to pick up the bike, and hope it's in good condition and has phone support.

With Good Motors, you reserve a trail or roadster motorcycle, equipped, serviced and insured, directly from a parking lot near a railway station. You leave when you want. And if you have any questions, our customer service is there to help.

Book your motorcycle online: simple, fast, efficient

Reservations are just a few clicks away on the goodmotors.fr. Choose your model (125cc, trail, roadster, A2...), enter your dates and confirm.

On the big day, your bike is waiting for you in a secure parking lot just a stone's throw from the dock. You follow the instructions on your smartphone, take the digital inventory, and off you go.

The bikes are checked regularly, insurance is included, and you can even go abroad (Italy, Spain, Switzerland...) if your itinerary takes you there.
