Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in South Africa

We have already rented motorcycles from Frank for the second time for 3 weeks each! The care and service is exemplary! The motorcycles were in perfect condition and had never made any problems! For our next tour we would definitely book again at Budget Motorbike!

Super helpful and friendly customer service @Leather & Chrome - I would strongly recommend you use their services while in Cape Town. Region has some of the most spectacular motorcycle touring roads so it would be great way to expirience it. There was a minor issue with the bike I got first day so I took it back and they gladly exchange it for the next model up for the second day.

Had an absolutely excellent experience renting from Leather and Chrome! The bike was in pristine condition—clearly well-serviced and looked after. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. The team goes above and beyond to make sure you’re set for the road. I have to recognize Redaa for amazing hospitality and his advice about local routes and eats. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Cape Town on two wheels!

The staff member was a great guy. Kind, decent, and responsible. He provided us with a wonderful motorcycle, fully prepared for long trips, and also allowed us to leave our luggage at his place. What pleased me most was the price of the motorcycle. I haven't seen anything cheaper in Cape Town; 2000 for a BMW is a gift. We had a great time and traveled half the country on the motorcycle. I am very grateful for such positive emotions. I am very glad that in South Africa I found not only many impressions but also a friend, a motorcycle mate. At home, I will remember this time and the experience with warmth.

The ultimate way to experience the area - on a Harley! I've ridden in a lot of places around the world, but booking with the rental shop was something else entirely. Very very personalized attention. From the moment I arrived at their base the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do - you can tell this isn't just a business, it's a lifestyle. We hired a Harley-Davidson for a self-guided tour, and they set me up perfectly. They offered me riding different models and decide which one suited me best. The motorbike was immaculate, powerful, and handled the mountain passes like a dream. Some routes were closed due to weather but we followed an alternate route and finally ended up at the destination. The whole process was smooth and flexible, from booking to drop-off, and the staff's attention to detail made sure I felt safe and confident on the road. They are not just one more professional renting motorbikes. They have deep knowledge of motorbikes, routes, weather and even wineries! Whether you're an experienced rider or just want the chauffeured Harley experience, the rental shop has an option for you. Highly, highly recommend - I'll be back on my next trip without a doubt. THANK YOU! P.S. By the way, and this is important, NO extra charge for safety gear!

The rental shop blew me away with their friendly service and technical know-how. Expert diagnosis identified the issue with my new 946 immediately. Front bearings were shot. No guesswork, just no-nonsense mechanical expertise. The team is a master in the workshop and handled my warranty repairs seamlessly. I had my motorbike back, serviced and repaired, by the next working day. No fuss, all smiles. The setup includes a high-end workshop right inside the store, making a massive difference in the quality of care. When you spend proper money on a scooter like this, you expect this level of service. They have a wide range of stock on the floor and also do affordable rentals. Highly recommended!

From start to finish communication with the rental shop was amazing. Booked a nice Harley for my trip and the owner was informative and helpful throughout the entire process of booking the motorbike. When arriving on the day to pick up the motorbike for our adventure the team at the shop were helpful with fitting us with the right gear and even offering us some coffee as we arrived early in the morning. The motorbike was in pristine shape and even had a phone holder for using GPS. The rates for the rentals were the best in town and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed before heading out. I would be more than happy to rent from this shop again and again.

Our 12 day self-guided motorcycle tour in 2026 became far more than a trip - it felt like an adventure crafted with care and passion. From the very beginning, the preparation was handled with professionalism and genuine attention to our needs. The staff was always there for us, ready to help, and their warmth made us feel supported at every moment. The welcome on arrival set the tone: the entire team greeted us with such friendliness that we immediately felt at home. The motorcycle presentation was impressive and built real excitement for the journey ahead. What touched us most was the extraordinary selection of accommodations. Each place had its own atmosphere - peaceful lodges, a magical glamping tent overlooking a wildlife pond, a hotel with sweeping sea views, and vibrant urban stays. These were places we would never have discovered ourselves, and each one added a unique emotional layer to the journey. Many hosts even welcomed us personally with a drink, making us feel like honored guests rather than travelers passing through. Our motorcycles were always safely parked, giving us peace of mind. The two rest days were perfectly placed, allowing us to breathe, reflect, and enjoy the surroundings. And the safaris - guided with expertise and passion - were truly unforgettable, the kind of moments that stay with you for a lifetime.

Rented a GS for one day to explore the coastal roads in the region. The motorbike was in top shape, and the riding gear we rented was brand new and very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Prices are clearly listed on the website, and the paperwork was handled very professionally.
