Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in South Africa

I rented an R1250GSA for 5 days in February. I was unsure where I needed to collect the motorbike from Don but he was very accommodating and delivered the motorbike to my B&B the evening before the rental commenced. I planned to use my own clothing but my luggage did not arrive on the plane with me and did not arrive prior to the trip I planned. At the last minute I was able to obtain a helmet but I rented jacket, trousers, and gloves. Don does not usually hire boots but due to my predicament I believe he loaned me a pair of his own. The motorbike was in top condition as was the clothing which was a great fit and extremely comfortable for the weather here. Through the trip I needed advice from Don who was always available on the phone with answers. A screw found it’s way into the front tyre during the trip and we satisfactorily compromised on replacement after the motorbike was returned. At the conclusion of our trip once again Don was very accommodating about collecting it. My deposit was returned swiftly upon return of the motorbike. I can’t fault the motorbike or any of the equipment or any of the rental process. I would fully recommend Don and his equipment it was a good experience and an enjoyable trip. Yes a full 5 stars!

Such a wonderful experience. I am an American coming to Cape Town for the first time and by Harley was the best way to see the country by far. All of my friends were asking for rides and wanting to experience the beautiful country by the view of a Harley. Dave was so helpful and accommodating. So grateful for this experience and anyone from the west visiting cape town for the first time wanting to ride a motorcycle, it was a no brainer. Never had any issues with breakdowns, thefts etc. Rode the Heritage and night train. Dave and company provided the best rides, roads and routes to enjoy. Thank you Makani and Dave. Will absolutely be recommending to my friends in the US who visit!

From the moment I arrived at GS Africa in Cape Town I was treated like family! They were ready with my motorcycle and quickly, efficiently handled everything with total professionalism. Lee (Head of Rentals) is absolutely amazing and helped me with every detail of my adventure with such care and attention that GS Africa has my loyalty for my next motorcycle adventure in South Africa. My initial check in of the motorcycle was handled by No no (she was completely thorough with her work and got me ready for my trip in no time at all). The motorcycle was in impeccable shape and was a dream to drive (Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage Classic). Kiefer (another member of the GS Africa team in Cape Town) informed me that they had just put a brand new rear tire on the motorcycle (which gave me great piece of mind starting my journey). Lee supplied me with awesome routes to take me to some of the most beautiful and memorable places I have ever visited. I just can’t say thank you enough for making a dream come true!

I rented a F900GSA for a day and had a great time! Excellent communication from Don before the day made it a very easy and stress free experience. The motorbike was well maintained, in great condition and was all ready to go when I came to collect. Looking forward to renting again!

Don and his lovely wife are a family owned, very friendly and professional motorbike rental business. Down to earth talk and honest business practice! The motorbike i rented was a spottless GS900 which just came out of service. I was provided with some great route options and some helpful hints for the journey. Wishing them all the best for the rest of the season and hope to do business again in the future. Thank you for some more special SA memories. Yours Alex

If you need a rental motorbike in Cape Town then Don's your man. Friendly amenable service with clean well maintained motorbikes. I had an R1250GSA for a couple of days riding Don's recommended routes with a grin on my face. Fantastic.

5 out of 5 stars for GS Africa! I spent afew days in capetown and discovered GS Africa by chance. Contact via whatsapp was quick n easy and so I endet up with a perfectly maintained BMW F850GS Trophy - I wish my motorbike at home was that good maintained! I did also rent a jacket and helmet for the weekend. the whole staff was super professional and very friendly and welcoming - from first contact during paperwork , fitting and when being introduced to the motorbike I had not ridden before. I can sure say that I will rent a motorbike here again as soon as I get the chance. Thanks to the GS team for having such an unforgettable weekend in RSA!
