Prices and payment
How much does it cost to rent a bike in Pokhara?
Daily rates at RideUp Rentals run from Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000 per day depending on the bike. Scooters start at Rs 1,000 a day and motorcycles at Rs 2,500 a day. Every rate is listed on our pricing page.
Is a security deposit required?
Yes. The refundable security deposit for each bike on our pricing page is Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000, listed with its price. Pay it in cash or by online banking at pickup. It's returned when you drop the bike off, minus any charges for late return or damage.
Are there any extra charges?
Charges that can apply — late return, damage, fuel and any optional accessories — are set out in your rental terms at the time of booking. We walk through them with you rather than surprise you later.
Booking and rental period
Do I need to book in advance?
You can send a booking request online, message us on WhatsApp or call 982-4151451. We confirm availability for your dates before anything is final.
Can I rent a bike for multiple days?
Yes. You can rent for a single day or for several days, including week-long trips into the mountains. Our pricing page shows the total for 3 and 7 days, and the booking form gives you an estimate for any length before you send it.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you cancel a booking you've paid an advance for, we keep 60% of the advance. Tell us as early as you can if your plans change.
Requirements
