Motorcycle Rental Zurich

The first thing you need to think about when renting a motorbike in Switzerland is where you should go. The best place to start looking is probably at the tourist office. They have loads of information about what's around, how much things cost, and they can even tell you where the cheapest places to stay are. If you don't speak German though, they won't be able to give you any useful advice, but they might point you towards some English speaking websites like Lonely Planet or Trip Advisor.

Another good option would be to ask people at your hostel or hotel. Most of them will be able to recommend somewhere cheap to stay near their accommodation, and if not, they can usually find someone else who knows. Another great way to get started is to check out the local bike shops. These guys are often very helpful, especially if you buy something from them. They can usually offer you a free map showing where everything is, and they can direct you to the best places to eat and drink. And finally, if you have friends who live nearby, ask them where they hang out.

After you've decided where you want to go, you'll need to decide how long you want to spend riding. For short trips, it's easy enough to hop on a bus and ride straight through. However, if you plan on doing lots of touring, then it's worth considering getting a car hire. Car rentals are pretty expensive in Switzerland, but they make sense if you plan on spending several days exploring different parts of the country.
