Motorcycle Rental Auckland
The first thing you need to do before renting a motorbike in Auckland is to make sure that you have a valid license. If you don't have one yet, you should apply for one at least six months before you plan to travel around New Zealand. The best way to get a license is to go through the driving school program offered by many companies. However, if you prefer not to take part in any kind of training course, you can still obtain a provisional license. It takes about three hours to become fully licensed, but you must pass the theory test before getting your full license. There are two types of licenses: learner and driver. A learner license allows you to drive only on roads designated for learner drivers. Driver's licenses are issued to people who wish to operate vehicles without restrictions. They are usually good for five years.
You can buy motorcycle insurance while traveling in New Zealand. Most insurers offer comprehensive coverage, meaning they cover damage caused by third parties (such as accidents) and theft. Some policies even include medical expenses incurred due to injuries sustained during an accident. Comprehensive coverage typically costs between NZ$50-100 per month depending on the type of policy you purchase. For more information, visit the Insurance Council of New Zealand's website. Another option is to pay for additional coverage, such as collision damage waiver (CDW). CDWs protect against damage to your bike resulting from collisions with another object. Depending on the level of protection you require, the premium for these policies ranges from NZ$20-$80 per year. You can find more information about motorcycle insurance on the Automobile Association of New Zealand's website.
