When you are looking to rent a motorcycle for a weekend or for a road trip, one question comes up often: is it better to go through a peer-to-peer rental platform or to deal with a professional?
Peer-to-peer platforms can look attractive at first glance, but they sometimes hold a few unpleasant surprises. Good Motors offers a reliable alternative: online motorcycle rental, self-service, in ten cities across France.
Good Motors, online self-service motorcycle rental
Good Motors offers a 100% online motorcycle rental service, available 7 days a week, from 8 am to 10 pm, from parking facilities located right next to train stations and airports. The experience is designed for city travelers and road trip enthusiasts alike.
No queue, no pointless paperwork: you book your motorcycle online, you pick it up whenever you want, and off you go. The equipment is ready, the motorcycles are maintained by professionals, and insurance is included.
Start by going to our website.
Then select your departure city and the rental dates you want.
Next, select the motorcycle model you like, then fill in the fields shown. Do not forget to indicate the equipment you would like, as well as any luggage extras.
Payment is made online through Stripe, our payment provider, and business customers receive an invoice.
We then check your driving license and send you a link to place the security deposit as a pre-authorization hold on your card.
On the day, you will receive all the information you need to reach the place where our motorcycles are parked. You will then be able to identify yours by its license plate number.
The explanatory email also contains the code for the key box. Inside you will also find the key to the lock, along with a badge to exit the car park (depending on the city). Be sure to keep the keys and the badge safe!
If you chose extra equipment, it will be waiting in a locker next to the motorcycle. All that is left is to carry out the check-in inspection, put on your gear, turn the ignition and off you go!
What are the advantages of renting a motorcycle from Good Motors rather than from a private owner?
Peer-to-peer rental platforms have grown in recent years, but they often involve negotiating a time slot, motorcycles with an uncertain history, and a certain amount of the unexpected.
Good Motors offers a clear, professional framework with no surprises.

A practical case: a weekend to Normandy
You are planning a weekend up to the Normandy coast. With a peer-to-peer platform, you have to coordinate times, cross the city to collect the motorcycle, and hope that it is in good condition and that it has a phone mount.
With Good Motors, you book an adventure bike or a roadster, equipped, maintained and insured, straight from a car park near a train station. You leave when you want. And if you have a question, customer service is there.
Booking your motorcycle online
Booking takes a few clicks from the catalog. You choose your model according to what you feel like (125 cm³, adventure bike, roadster, A2...), enter your dates, and confirm.
On the day, your motorcycle is waiting for you in a secure car park, a few steps from the platform. You follow the instructions on your smartphone, you carry out the digital check-in inspection, and you ride.
The motorcycles are checked regularly and insurance is included. You can also travel abroad: our motorcycles are insured to ride throughout the European Economic Area, in the principalities of Andorra and Monaco, in Liechtenstein, in the Vatican and in San Marino. Please make sure you comply with the local rules in force.
