Motorcycle Rental Christchurch, New Zealand

Rolling Thunder Motorcycles Introduction

Rolling Thunder Motorcycles offer motorcycle rental in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand, which features some of the best roads for riding and the most incredible scenery in the world. New Zealand is approximately the size of England, but only has just over four million inhabitants.

New Zealand offers more space and attractions per capita than most other holiday destinations in the world making it perfect for motorcycle touring with our motorbike hire in Christchurch. There are majestic fiords, native forests, sandy beaches, and incredible glaciers.

Overall New Zealand is a land of remarkable contrast. As most of the South Island is hilly or mountainous, the roads are a motorcyclist's delight. Scenic, well-engineered, well maintained, and best of all, uncrowded.

New Zealand also offers a remarkable amount of entertainment as well: white-water rafting, fun parks, wildlife colonies, camping, world-class fishing, nightlife, casinos, Maori hangi (feast), geysers, jet boat rides, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, volcanoes, thermal springs, whale watching, the list could go on forever.

Our company was established in 1964 and is known as a market leader in New Zealand. We have been formally involved with motorcycle rentals since 1992. Get ready for the ride of your life!

Motorcycle Rider Requirements

• Be 21 years of age or older

Motorcycle Insurance

You are insured while renting our motorcycles. However, you are responsible for the insurance deductible. We require an insurance deductible bond be placed with us through the use of a credit card “hold” of NZ$3,000.

We ensure you have available funds on your credit card to cover the insurance deductible in the unlikely event of damage. Upon return of the motorcycle in satisfactory condition the credit card “hold” is released. This process is standard operating procedure for the New Zealand recreational rental industry.

New Zealand Road Rules

New Zealand law requires the wearing of a New Zealand approved helmet for both rider and passenger or pillion. Our primary concern is your safety. Protection on the road is a good thing and it is a good idea for motorcyclists to ride responsibly.

You and any passengers must sign an agreement that states you will wear an approved helmet at all times while on the bike for the duration of the rental. If you don't have your own approved helmet, don't worry: these are provided at the time of rental.

Be aware that beanie and novelty shells are not approved and do not qualify as proper head protection.

For our customers from outside of New Zealand used to riding “on the other side of the road” it is important to make sure you have a clear understanding of differences in driving laws between New Zealand and your home country.

A careful review of relevant differences in the “road code” and a familiarization ride to become comfortable with the differences is essential to ensure a safe and fun Harley-Davidson® holiday.
