Why riders choose West Coast Motorcycles
EXCELLENT Based on 97 reviews Posted on Danny NguyenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish communication with West Coast Motorcycle rentals was amazing. Booked a nice Harley for my trip to South Africa and the owner was informative and helpful throughout the entire process of booking the bike. When arriving on the day to pick up the bike for our adventure the team at the shop were helpful with fitting us with the right gear and even offering us some coffee as we arrived early in the morning. The bike was in pristine shape and even had a phone holder for using GPS The rates for the rentals were the best in town and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed before heading out. I would be more than happy to rent from this shop again and again.Posted on jao rabemananjaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you’re planning to ride the Cape, this is the company to use. I rented the Harley Fat Bob for a weekend run down to the Cape of Good Hope, and from start to finish, the experience was world-class. The Bike: Immaculate, powerful, and perfectly prepped. The Service: Smooth booking process and very welcoming staff. The Ride: There is nothing like hearing that Milwaukee-Eight engine echoing through the coastal passes. Thanks for making this a highlight of my trip. I'll be back for sure!Posted on SamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great trip, with two awesome bikes. Very friendly staff.Posted on Brett ThomsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
