No. In Colombia you need a motorcycle license to ride a motorbike or scooter (category A1 up to 125 cc or A2 for bigger bikes). A car license (B1) does not cover motorcycles, and the same applies to foreign licenses: they must include the motorcycle category. With a car license you can rent our Bajaj Maxima cargo trike. If you don't have a motorcycle license, you can still enjoy the ride as a passenger with a professional rider on our Guatapé no-license tour or the Night Tour.

Yes. We have a pick-up and drop-off point in Bogotá (La Española, Engativá), so you can pick up the bike in Medellín and return it there: choose Bogotá as the drop-off location in the quote tool and we will confirm availability. Returning it in another Colombian city costs $490,000 COP on the daily plan or $390,000 COP on long-term plans.

Yes, you can ride anywhere in the country. Pick your plan by mileage: the daily plan includes 200 km/day cumulative (unlimited if you rent 5 or 6 days) and the Unlimited plan, from 7 days, has no mileage cap. For mountains and dirt roads we recommend a dual-sport bike like the Honda XRE300. If you prefer a guide, see our guided motorcycle tours.

With us from $33,000 COP per day on monthly plans. Daily rentals (1 to 6 days) range from $70,000 COP for a scooter to $230,000 COP for a Honda XRE300. Prices include VAT, insurance, 2 helmets and 24/7 roadside assistance. A refundable security deposit of $1,100,000 to $1,800,000 COP applies depending on the bike.

Yes, thousands of travelers ride across Colombia every year. We recommend riding in daylight, sticking to main roads, checking road conditions before you leave, parking in private parking lots or inside a building or house, and not leaving belongings in sight. Our bikes include theft insurance, third-party liability, SOAT and 24/7 roadside assistance, and we share route tips before you go.

We work with Seguros SURA. Our insurance covers total loss, partial damage, third-party damage, theft and towing in case of an accident or breakdown. Any claim with the insurer requires paying a deductible, which varies depending on the motorcycle model.

It is possible, but there is paperwork: registering in the RUNT system, transferring ownership at the traffic office, keeping SOAT insurance and the technical inspection up to date, and checking for fines in SIMIT. Requirements vary by office (some ask for a foreigner ID card, cédula de extranjería), it can take days or weeks, and you must sell the bike before you leave. For stays of weeks or months, a monthly rental from $33,000 COP per day, with insurance and maintenance included, is usually easier and cheaper.
