Documents Needed to Rent a Bike in Rishikesh

This is worth knowing before you arrive, not at the counter — the paperwork is the one part of renting a bike here that we won't flex on, whatever the shop.

Indian nationals

• Original driving licence, valid for the vehicle class you're renting
• One original government photo ID — Aadhaar, Voter ID or Passport — which we hold until the vehicle comes back

International visitors

• Passport
• A valid International Driving Permit, endorsed for the vehicle class

The licence class rule

A gearless two-wheeler licence covers the Activa but not a geared motorcycle. Every other vehicle in our fleet is a Royal Enfield and needs a full motorcycle licence. We check this on every rental and decline if it doesn't match — not to be difficult, but because it's the single biggest cause of accidents involving rented bikes in Rishikesh.

Age

Minimum 18, no exceptions.

Deposit

₹3,000 for the Activa, ₹5,000 for any Royal Enfield — fully refundable at return, in cash or by the same method you paid. We also hold one original government photo ID until the vehicle comes back. This is standard practice across Rishikesh and it's non-negotiable, at our shop or anywhere else.

Make it faster

Send photos of your licence and ID ahead on WhatsApp, especially if we're delivering to you — a hotel, the railway station, the bus stand, or even Jolly Grant airport. The paperwork gets done before you arrive, and you walk out, sign, and ride. See thefull rate card and policies for everything else — deposits, late fees, what's included.
