Motorcycle Rental in Palo Alto – A Rider’s City Guide

Motorcycles are perfect for those who want to experience Palo Alto and the surrounding Bay Area with power and freedom. From urban roads to scenic routes through the nearby hills, riding a motorcycle here offers an adventure that goes beyond city limits.

Rental requirements for motorcycles

To rent most motorcycles, a full motorcycle license (Class M) is required. Smaller bikes around 125cc can sometimes be rented with a car license, though this depends on the provider. International riders are usually asked to present both a home license and an International Driving Permit. The minimum rental age is typically 21, with a deposit required.

Rental rules you should know

Motorcycles are provided in safe condition, often with helmets included. Extra equipment like jackets or gloves may be available for an additional fee. Return policies usually require bringing the motorcycle back to the rental shop, though some companies offer delivery and flexible return options.

Traffic laws for motorcyclists

California laws require helmets for all riders. Headlights must be on, even during the day. Lane-splitting is legal in California, but it must be done safely and cautiously.
