Can foreigners rent Harley-Davidson motorcycles in Cape Town?

Are the motorcycles insured?

We do have 24 hour roadside assistance should mechanical issues arise during your rental period.
We work hard to ensure all motorcycles are maintained to high standards to maximise reliability and rider confidence.
What happens if it rains?
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate (winter rainfall), and the weather can change quickly.
We want all our rentals and rides to be WOW experiences for our clients, and will gladly reschedule or refund if the weather is adverse.
We monitor conditions closely and can advise on route planning, riding safety, or rescheduling options where practical. Some of the Cape’s best riding days happen during winter.
Can the motorcycle be delivered to my hotel or airport?
Yes. We do however charge a little extra for this service as we have to pay for the rider’s return to our premises, but we keep this cost to a minimum just to cover our expenses.
