Bike Rental in Udaipur
Bike Rental in Udaipur: Scooters and Motorcycles on Rent
Udaipur is a good city to ride and a bad city to drive. The old town around Jagdish Temple and Gangaur Ghat is a grid of lanes too narrow for a car, parking near the City Palace is a problem on any busy day, and the hill roads out to Sajjangarh and Badi Lake are more enjoyable on two wheels than four. For a solo traveller or a couple, bike rental in Udaipur is usually the better choice.
We arrange automatic scooters and motorcycles by the day or by the week, delivered to your hotel if that is easier. Tell us what you want to ride and how long for, and we will confirm availability and the current rate for your dates.
What You Can Hire
| Type | Suits | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic scooter (110–125cc class) | Solo riders and couples, any licence holder | City riding, the old town lanes, Fateh Sagar and Sajjangarh |
| Commuter motorcycle (150–180cc class) | Riders comfortable with gears | City plus day trips of 50–100 km |
| Larger motorcycle (350cc and above) | Experienced riders only | Longer rides to Kumbhalgarh, Ranakpur, Mount Abu |
Availability varies by season and by date – October to March is peak and the better machines go first. Rates depend on the model and the length of hire, so message us with your dates for a current quote rather than relying on a figure that may be months out of date.
What You Will Need to Rent
- A valid driving licence. For a geared motorcycle it must cover geared two-wheelers; a licence endorsed only for non-gear vehicles is not enough. International visitors should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence.
- Photo ID. Passport for international visitors, Aadhaar or similar for Indian residents.
- A security deposit. Standard practice across rental operators. We will tell you the amount when we quote.
- A helmet. Helmets are legally required in Rajasthan for the rider, and the law also covers pillion riders. Wear one regardless of what you see other people doing.
Riding in Udaipur: Honest Advice
The old city is tight. Lanes near Jagdish Temple and Gangaur Ghat are narrow, two-way in practice whatever the signs say, and shared with pedestrians, cows and delivery handcarts. Ride slowly; it is not a place to make progress.
Traffic does not follow the rules you are used to. Expect vehicles from any direction, overtaking on both sides, and limited use of indicators. Riders used to European or North American roads should take the first hour gently.
Avoid riding after dark outside the city. Unlit roads, livestock and oncoming high beams make rural night riding genuinely risky. Plan day trips to be back before sunset.
The monsoon changes everything. July to September brings slick roads, poor visibility and standing water that hides potholes. If you are not an experienced wet-weather rider, take a car those months.
Fuel is on you. Rental vehicles are normally supplied with whatever is in the tank. Check the level before you set off and confirm the fuel policy when you collect.
Best Rides from Udaipur
| Ride | Distance one way | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Fateh Sagar Lake loop and Moti Magri | 5–8 km | Any scooter – the standard first ride |
| Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) | 8 km | Scooter is fine; a steep climb, so go two-up only on a 125cc or bigger |
| Badi Lake | 12 km | Any; quiet road, good at sunset |
| Shilpgram and the western outskirts | 5 km | Any |
| Eklingji and Nagda | 22 km | 125cc and up |
| Jaisamand Lake | 50 km | 150cc and up – highway riding |
| Kumbhalgarh Fort | 85 km | Experienced riders, 350cc, full day |
| Ranakpur | 90 km | Experienced riders, 350cc, full day |
Carry water, keep your licence and ID on you rather than in the top box, and save our number before you leave the city.
