Bike & scooty rental in Dehradun
Dehradun is spread out, Clock Tower, Rajpur Road, the Forest Research Institute and Sahastradhara all sit a fair ride apart, and the hill road up to Mussoorie starts right at the edge of town. Tell us the days you need a scooty or a bike and we arrange it with trusted local partners; the price depends on the bike, the season and how many days you keep it, and we confirm it before anything is booked.
Scooty
Automatic, light and easy to park. Ideal for Tapovan cafe hopping, ghat runs and short climbs. The pick for first-time riders and anyone carrying a yoga mat.
150cc bikes
Geared commuter bikes with a bit more pull for two people on hill roads. A solid middle ground for Neelkanth, Kunjapuri or a run down to Haridwar.
Royal Enfield & Himalayan class
Classic 350s and Himalayan-style adventure bikes for longer rides and confident riders. Heavier in town traffic, glorious once the road starts climbing.
Before you ride
- Licence and ID: carry a valid two-wheeler driving licence and an original photo ID. Visitors from outside India should bring an International Driving Permit along with their home licence.
- Helmets: compulsory for rider and pillion. Ask for two when you book, and actually wear them on the hill roads.
- Fuel: bikes usually come with just enough to reach a pump, and fuel is on you. Fill up in town before heading for the hills.
- Security deposit: most partners take a refundable deposit, and it varies by bike and partner. We'll tell you the amount with the quote.
- Check the bike: brakes, horn, lights and tyres before you leave, and a quick photo of any scratches saves arguments later.
- Traffic: Rajpur Road, Clock Tower and the Araghar stretch jam up at office hours and on weekends when the hill crowd heads up to Mussoorie. Ride slow through the bazaar lanes and park where the shopkeepers point you to, not on the road itself.
- After dark: plan to be back before nightfall on hill roads, and keep an eye on landslide warnings in the monsoon.
