GS Africa Process to Rent

the bike rental process explained

Step 1
Enquiry
As you begin your motorcycle adventure journey, the first step involves sending through your enquiry via email/phoning in/or from the website with as much detail as possible. Please provide as much information as possible in order to make your trip as memorible as possible.
Step 2
Estimation per requirements
Our reply estimation will be sent from the online platform and will include the following:
When, where, bike model choice, extras and accessories requested
.
Step 3
Invoice, Payment & Documentation
Upon acceptance of the quotation, payments can be made through our 3D secure online platform or via an electronic bank transfer. Once payment has been received, our team will send you our online T&C’s and request a copy of your license and ID/passport.
Step 4
Motorcycle Collection
Insurance Excess Deposit requested 2 days before the first rental date. Pre-authorisation (1 – 6 Days rental) / Sale (7+ Days rental). The motorcycle is collected at the agreed time and address. If the transaction is done manually, a swipe of the card is required and a signed invoice for a deposit. Outspection of motorcycle done and the fun begins!
Step 5
Return of Motorcycle & Deposit
At the end of the adventure, the bike is returned/collected at the agreed address and time. The bike is washed and inspected for damage (ideally next working day). (If any) damage costs are deducted from the deposit and the remaining balance is refunded. No damage then deposit refunded which can take 7 – 10 working days to reflect back onto your credit card.

Client Testimonials

Testimonials from our clients

Just like to say a big thank you to Paul, the owner / director of GS Africa our top motorcycle hire company. The company is top draw and we’re so excited to be working with them this year.

We’re so ExcitedCharley Boorman

GS Africa has impressed me with its service and its very accurate and helpful advice not only during the very long and complicated trip but also during the months that took to prepare it. The outcome has been a very safe and magnificent adventure. Paul has been an African rider for decades and it shows.

Excellent ServiceRobert P.

Excellent service in an emergency, The reason why it makes sense to pick a professional adventure bike rental company. Replacement pannier keys couriered 500kms from Cape Town. Thanks Paul Blignaut and GS Africa. Recommended!

RecommendedGreg W.

Paul was very helpful with route planning and suggestions for touring South Africa. The BMW 650 twins and the single performed flawlessly with not a minute of trouble during the 6000K we traveled. Kudos to Paul for making our bike rental painless.

Excellent ServiceJohn D.

We first chose a 800GS but with some helpful advice on routes, we decided on one of GS Africa’s 1200GS’s – a brand new bike with 770 kilometers on the clock, full house. Now I’m busy buying one after the rental with them. Great guys to do business with.

Great ServiceMike S.

The Harley Heritage was in a very good condition and the service and support from GS Africa right from the start through to the ordering process and the pick-up was excellent. Highly recommended. Thanks a lot.

Hi Paul and Petreaux – After an overnight flight Urs and I are safely back home and we are already missing the South African warmth and light. Thanks again for your services and I hope to be returning back to the Cape in the very near future. Best wishes !

Missing South AfricaBeat S.

A quick thank you! The bike was great – the crash bars important ! I won’t rent one without them. Your “recommended” road was fab. Drop off and collect is a HUGE help. I’ll be back to rent again as soon as it warms up a bit ! Maybe after June ! (Also appreciate the way you called me in the UK , so fast after my enquiry !)

Thank YouStuart R.

Hi Paul
First day back in the office after returning from Cape Town. I just wanted to say thanks for setting up the tour for us, absolutely fantastic! Also to give you my UK address so that you can get a few stickers up to us when they are done.

Absolutely FantasticChris C.

I just wanted to thank Candi for her service and help. The ride and bike were excellent and my adventure(s) yesterday (both the planned and unexpected ones) are a highlight of my stay in Cape Town ::) I’ll be renting a bike from GS Africa again the next time I’m here.

ExcellentMiguel

We certainly had a wonderful time riding around Cape Town. A big thanks to GS Africa and their fantastic service and attention to detail. We will certainly be back to GS Africa again when we are back in Cape Town.
