Licences and age rules

A moped can be ridden on any New Zealand driver licence, but a motorcycle needs a motorcycle driver licence, so check your licence before you book. One rental firm requires riders to be 25 or over for bikes over 700cc and to hold a motorcycle endorsement. Another requires a full motorcycle licence and an age of 25 or more. Visitors renting a Harley-Davidson should also bring passport details, which firms copy when you hire.

What a licence costs and what the firm must hold

Getting a motorcycle licence costs NZ$192.20 in NZTA fees across three stages: NZ$90.60 for the learner, NZ$54.20 for the restricted and NZ$47.40 for the full licence, with GST included if you pass first time. Ask the rental firm for its licence too. One firm holds a Rental Service Licence with the NZ Transport Agency, and another asks for a 20% deposit to secure a booking, so read the deposit and cancellation terms before you pay.

Season and touring

October is spring in New Zealand. The summer months of December to February are the warm season for riding, so book early for those dates if you plan a long tour. Winter, June to August, is cold and has the shortest days, so a multi-day trip is better planned for the warmer months.

What to put in your request

Give the type of bike (road, adventure or cruiser), the engine size in cc, your height and the number of days, the pick-up city (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga), and whether you need gear. Say how long you have held your motorcycle licence and what deposit you can pay.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the trip in a free chat. The AI checks motorbike hire firms in New Zealand and shows the prices it finds, and each seller registered on BlaBlaPrice replies with an offer.
