Questions that need an answer

We accept a current and valid driver’s license from your home country, provided it includes the appropriate class or endorsement that allows you to operate the type of motorcycle you are renting or its equivalent. Please note that local laws of the country where you are renting apply to the vehicle and its use.

An A1 license allows you to rent the VOGE 500DS, Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Himalayan 450, and CFMOTO 650MT Limited Version.
An A license allows you to rent all models.

Although not required, it is recommended that all visitors with a license in a foreign language obtain an International Driving Permit. If your license is clearly legible, we will accept it.

A motorcycle lease for an A license motorcycle is allowed for drivers who are at least 25 years old and have held a motorcycle license for a minimum of 2 years.
For A1 license motorcycles, the minimum age requirement is 22 years, with at least 2 years of motorcycle license holding as well. The license must be valid, and a copy must be submitted prior to the lease.
There is no age limit for passengers; however, the passenger must be able to reach the footpegs of the motorcycle.

Unfortunately, bike choices cannot be guaranteed due to factors beyond our control. While most of our riders receive their first choice, we require two bike preferences to be submitted at the time of booking.

The motorcycle comes with the mandatory minimum insurance coverage required by Greek law. This only protects the rider against third-party claims for property damage or personal injury. GSTRAVELER offers a  Damage Warranty, which limits your liability in the event of damage to the motorcycle.

For rental bookings, a minimum deposit of 30% is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full at the pick-up date.

For rental reservations booked more than 60 days before the pick-up date, a minimum deposit of 30% is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full at the pick-up date.

Depending on the motorcycle you choose, a security deposit between 400 to 1,500 euros will be required when you are picking up your motorcycle. The security deposit will be reserved against the available balance on your credit card. Once your motorcycle is returned on time and free of damage, the security deposit will be released.

If you secure your rental with a credit/debit card, we will charge the security deposit on the day you pick up your rental vehicle. Your security deposit might be held by your bank for up to 15 days. After that, it will be automatically released in full unless we charge any damages, traffic violations, or any other necessary charges against it.

Upon cancellation of a lease, there is no refund of the prepayment if the cancellation is made in less than 30 days from the date of the lease. If the cancellation is notified in writing to the company more than 30 days from the start of the lease, then you will get a full refund. Cancellations can be addressed on a case-by-case basis as well.

We are open to walk-ins during our respective business hours.

Once you complete your quick rental check-in at our location, one of our team members will provide a comprehensive orientation to your rental motorcycle. This includes a thorough damage and safety inspection, along with detailed instructions on the bike’s features, how to start and stop the engine, the location of the brakes, turn signals, emergency flashers, alarm system procedures, the location and storage of the motorcycle registration, and much more. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to feel 100% comfortable and confident with your motorcycle before you start your journey.

All GSTRAVELER motorcycles are presented with a full tank at the start of your rental and should be returned with a full tank. If your motorcycle is returned with less than a full tank of fuel, you will incur a refueling charge. To save time and avoid hassles, please refuel the motorcycle at the gas stations next to our office, which are open for extended business hours.

GSTRAVELER’s policy for riding your rental motorcycle across international borders is that without prior written approval from us, no motorcycle is allowed to cross the borders unless special permission is granted for that purpose.

We encourage our customers to return their rental bikes during business hours in order to close out their reservations and avoid additional charges that may apply. It is always possible to agree on different hours for pick up/drop off, sometimes at an extra charge.

GSTRAVELER offers motorcycle delivery and pick-up services for individuals and groups at hotels or other locations outside our offices. Please contact GSTRAVELER at: info@gstraveler.com for a detailed quote. These services carry an additional cost that varies based on the number of bikes, location, season, or other factors, and are subject to availability.

A jacket and proper protective clothing are required when you operate the vehicle. Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own helmet and jacket. We recommend protective textiles, gloves, pants, and motorcycle boots. We offer additional protective gear for sale.

All models have power outlets built-in. If you order a GPS as part of your rental package, one of our technicians will wire it directly to the motorcycle’s power source.

Full-shell helmets for riders and passengers are loaned free of charge with your motorcycle rental. In addition, GSTRAVELER offers motorcycle gear and accessory showrooms stocked with the latest styles of helmets, gloves, chaps, jackets, riding glasses, and everything else you will need for a great ride. If you are traveling from overseas, be sure to take advantage of the current favorable exchange rates by purchasing all of your new riding gear at GSTRAVELER.

Jacket and pants rentals are available in textile materials.

All GSTRAVELER motorcycle rentals include the free loan of DOT-approved full-shell helmets for riders and passengers. All rental motorcycles also come equipped with an alarm system and GPS Tracker for added security. A complimentary secure luggage storage service is offered at all GSTRAVELER locations.

At GSTRAVELER, you are welcome to securely store your suitcases or luggage at our office. Please note that luggage storage is not available for one-way tours. The service is free of charge.

GSTRAVELER will provide you with a 24-hour breakdown telephone number you can call for immediate assistance. Our team will make arrangements to have the motorcycle towed to the nearest roadside assistance location or repair shop to help get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

GSTRAVELER offers BMW VI or Garmin GPS units for rent. If you want us to handle most of the planning for you, the GSTRAVELER GPS Route Specialist can pre-program your route or one of our proprietary GSTRAVELER Tour Routes into your GPS unit for a small additional charge.

Roadside Assistance Coverage provides towing and roadside assistance by a GSTRAVELER-approved vendor if your motorcycle becomes inoperable.
We will cover the cost of any approved roadside assistance service. These services are only covered for the duration of your rental contract and end on the date and time agreed upon in your booking.

In the event of a bike mechanical failure, you must call us for assistance. We will be responsible for creating a solution to get you back on the open road. This may include asking you to bring the bike to a nearby GSTRAVELER collaborating repair shop using our road assistance service; sending a team to assist or replacing the bike. Ultimately it is up to your pickup location to offer a solution.

If you lose your rental motorcycle key, you can expect to pay for its replacement. The lost key fee varies per motorcycle model (approximately 200-300 euros per key).

GSTRAVELER’s standard hours of operation are Monday to Friday, from 09:00 to 18:00. For weekends and holidays, prior communication is required. In some cases, extra fees may apply.

Rental rates are based on 24-hour increments. If you pick up the bike at 10:00 a.m., it must be returned by 10:00 a.m. on the agreed-upon day. GSTRAVELER offers rate discounts for rentals of 4 days or more.

We offer airport pick-up and drop-off services for an additional fee, which covers taxi transportation to or from the airport.

GSTRAVELER offers excellent rates at numerous hotels, including some traditional accommodations.

A Self-Guided Tour is a flexible, fully independent riding experience where you ride on your own without a tour guide. All of our tours are self-guided and come with a package that includes bike rental, hotel accommodations, and route suggestions.

A Self-Guided Tour is an independent navigation experience, with no tour guide and no fixed schedule, that offers the freedom to ride at your own pace. Your bike, hotel accommodations, and route suggestions are all arranged by GSTRAVELER. A bike-only rental, on the other hand, includes just the motorcycle, and you are responsible for organizing your own accommodations and route planning.

To participate in our Self-Guided Tours, you must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid motorcycle license for at least two years. Additionally, a valid credit card with sufficient available credit is required.

Our self-guided tours do not have fixed departure dates. You are welcome to start your tour on any day of the week, during our office operating hours or by prior arrangement.

Yes! One of the advantages of our Self-Guided Tours is that they are completely customizable: you can modify an existing tour, and our tour guides can help you create a custom tour tailored just for you.

For Self-Guided tours booked more than 60 days before the pick-up date, a minimum deposit of 30% is required upon booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full by the pick-up date.

The hotels we use are booked based on availability, so the exact hotel will not be known upfront and will be confirmed later. Typically, we select 3-star, motorcycle-friendly hotels. If you prefer higher-star accommodations, we can request those for an additional surcharge depending on the location. Please note that in smaller towns, only 3-star hotels may be available, and booking higher-star options might not be possible. Higher-star hotels are generally easier to find in larger cities.

Yes, we can arrange additional hotel nights at the beginning or end of your tour. Please inform us in advance to ensure availability and proper scheduling.

Before your tour begins, we may be able to accommodate changes to your hotels and itinerary, depending on availability. Please note that any approved changes may incur a surcharge. Once your tour has started, hotel changes are not possible, as all accommodations are booked in advance.

Breakfast is included with all our Self-Drive Tours.
