Made a last minute decision (3 weeks out) to travel to NZ South Island and head to the Burt Munro Challenge. Saw the rental shop on official Burt Munro website and sent an inquiry. Within 36 hours of our initial inquiry, we had 12 days reserved on a BMW1300GS (driver/pillion, GIVI panniers and top box), had exchanged multiple emails and spoken via WhatsApp to discuss the route. The rental shop listened to our riding preferences (desired riding time/km each day, 1-2-3 night stays, other interests, etc...) and sent a thoughtful itinerary. We followed their recommended itinerary making our own bookings and planning our riding details - AWESOME! We did a nice loop that began/ended in Christchurch. All paved roads for us. We have rented in Croatia (x2), Italy, Spain (x2), South Africa. This has been one of, if not the best, of our rental experiences. Top notch service from the rental shop team. We had a delay getting to NZ and the rental shop was super responsive and accommodating. They picked us up from the airport and took time to thoroughly review road safety and driving in New Zealand (lots of tips and advice). On return, they shuttled us to our hotel in central Christchurch. The motorbike was in excellent condition with new tires and a full tank of gas. No problems at all. You can't see it all - so don't even try to cram everything in 😁. Hoping to return for another and highly recommend the rental shop!!
