Gudrun (55) Mother of One, Melbourne, Australia
I'm back at home in person - but my mind hasn't come with me.... I'm still riding the little DR650 on NZ's incredible roads.
This is just one more: "thank-you" for being such great people! You were by far the best motorcycle rental experience we ever had. Not only were the bikes in top condition, but they were delivered with a big smile as well.
As soon as Pete is able to make it to NZ, we'll be knocking on your door again - hopefully in spring.

Dan (45) and Natasha, Vancouver, BC......It was a pleasure renting our bikes from Ardmore Motorcycles. The bikes and equipment (helmets, jackets, etc...) were in great condition. We took advantage of their pick up and drop off service which was very convenient. I much preferred the personal touch of renting from and meeting the owners, Samantha and Cloud, to renting from a big operator. I would highly recommend Ardmore Motorcycle Rentals. Paul Nickson (25), Aberdeen, Scotland, Engineer....10/10 for Ardmore Motorcycle, bike and all the equipment was in great condition and the service was excellent. Sam recommended a few great places to go and see that did not dissapoint. NZ is a motorcyclist's Mecca with great roads and hardly any traffic. Lots of very fond memories with my DR650 AKA 'Suzi' fab place - I will be back some day. Terry Vulcani (64) USA...I wanted to thank you two and your company Ardmore Motorcycle rentals for the first class V-Stroms that we rented. All of the e-mails that I sent how quickly you answered them it made Ed, Craig and I very confident that we chose the right company to do business with. And when we had the tire problem you were waiting for us and had it fixed with in an hour...that's customer service.I could go on about the suggestions and routes that you suggested and all the first class book maps that were provided...anyway thank you and feel free to use me as a reference for any customers in the USA that are thinking about going to New Zealand Ricardo Troglioni (65) Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia, pensioner....I booked my bike too late to get my preferred option, a V-Strom 650, and was resigned to making do with a BMW 650 GS. However, when Samantha got a cancellation on a V-Strom she emailed me asking if I wanted to switch back to the V-Strom, which I did. She could have left everything as it was, but chose to ensure that I was as happy as possible. She met me at Auckland Airport & brought me to Ardmore to pick up the bike. The V-Strom was well-prepared, and after Cloud made a few adjustments I was ready to go. They suggested a gentle shakedown ride to Maraetai for dinner, in a restaurant looking out over the harbour with veiws stretching from Auckland city to the Coromandel Ranges; just what I needed. The next 13 days were riding bliss, and I even felt a small pang of regret when I handed Viktor V-Strom back to them; and coming from a committed Ducati bevel rider, that is high praise! Overall, I could not fault any of my dealings with Samantha & Cloud & the whole Ardmore Motorcycle Rental experience. Peter (54) and Tim (26) Ongley, NSW, Australia:
When we were planning our motorcycle tour of the North Island we were first attracted to Ardmore Motorcycle Rentals because of their very competitive and all-inclusive pricing, including all luggage and extras like heated grips, power sockets and detailed maps. Once contact had been made we were further impressed with the very prompt (almost immediate) responses to our email enquiries. To add to this, some time after we had made our booking Samantha emailed us to say they had reduced the pricing on the bikes we had booked and they were passing the saving on to us. How often does that happen in this day and age?! Then we had the great experience of meeting Cloud and Samantha first hand and being treated to their first class and very personalised customer service. This included a late Sunday afternoon pickup and transfer out to Ardmore. The bikes (Ducati ST3 & GSX650F) were in great condition as was the extra equipment (helmets, jackets, GPS) we hired. We had an amazing trip, visiting lots of places suggested to us by the team. We were also confident that their support in case of a problem was just a phone call away. Since returning to Australia we have done two things; started planning our next NZ trip and told everyone we know about the wonderful experience we had using Ardmore Motorcycle Rentals. Highly Recommended? You bet!!
Joachim (45), Munich, Germany, Pilot Ian Summers, Self Employed, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.......I just want to thank you for everything regarding my motorcycle hire, the motorcycle was in perfect condition as promised, your prompt and efficient reply to all questions from me was accurate and allowed me peace of mind before I arrived in NZ.
I travelled 5000 km on North and South Islands, certainly NZ is a fantastic country to tour and I came across some beautiful scenery.
The trip from Wanaka and along Haast pass and Glacier highway was pure fantasy land, simply stunning and that goes down as one of my best days on a motorcycle ever, well, what else can I say.... a wonderful country to tour on a motorcycle, it is safe and NZ is geared up for tourists, one has so many options regarding accommodation. I will have to come back with some of my friends sometime in the future.
I certainly would recommend Ardmore Motorcycle Rentals to anybody wanting to hire a motorcycle and your service was nothing short of proffesional.
Jeff & Bev Dray. I'm a 55 year old builder from Tallebudgera, Queensland, Australia ......My wife and I hired a Ducati- Multistrada from Ardmore Motorcycle Rentals for 18 days in Jan 2010. We did 5,500ks in both the North and South islands. The bike was in excellent condition and didn't miss a beat.
Dr. Gerrit Pelzer, 41 yrs, Bangkok, Thailand, Executive Coach & Life Coach...My three weeks New Zealand trip was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thus, my nightmare was to get a bike that is not in a good condition. Looking through various websites and ordering a rental bike on-line from a shop that I have never seen felt like gambling to me.What a relief and positive surprise when I picked up a FZ 1 from AMR: the bike in perfect condition, and the owners, Samantha and Cloud, were very kind and helpful. I highly recommend AMR for your unique New Zealand adventure!
