FAQ – Motorcycle rental in Tuscany

With us you rent the Royal Enfield Classic 350, a classic motorcycle with modern engineering. Light, reliable and made for the winding roads of Tuscany.

No. We rent out the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and nothing else, no Vespa, Ducati, Guzzi, Harley or BMW. One model, carefully maintained, instead of a wide choice.

For short trips in the city a scooter would make more sense, and for that we're the wrong people to ask. For the hills and country roads of Chianti, a motorcycle with big wheels is the steadier choice.

The shortest booking is the half day, up to 5 hours with return the same day. That's enough for a loop through Chianti or a ride out to lunch in the hills.

Up to 28 days at a stretch. Ideal for a road trip, a longer holiday or several weeks in the region. The longer you rent, the lower the daily rate.
