We’ve serviced and maintained our San Diego motorcycle rental fleet in-house for the last four years... Oil & filter changes, brakes, scheduled maintenance, diagnostics, tires, mounting & balancing... As our fleet grew, so did our shop and the professional tools and equipment we added to keep our rental motorcycles safe, reliable and ready to ride. Now we're offering that same level of service to San Diego riders.

Think you’re getting a great deal? Think again. Many rental sites show low daily rates but stack on hidden fees at checkout. Learn how to spot mystery add-ons, surprise charges, and clever upcharges before they catch you off guard.

Low prices on peer-to-peer sites may look appealing, but what are you really getting? Inconsistent bike quality, limited or no gear options, and unreliable owners are just the start. For groups, pickups can turn into a county-wide scavenger hunt — a logistical nightmare that kills the vibe before the ride even starts.

Answers To Common Questions We Hear
Here’s the truth: Route 101 Motorsports doesn’t just beat the competition on price... we bury them in transparency. Whether you're riding for the day ($205 — something no other rental company even offers) or going cross-country for 30 days at $182/day, what you see is what you pay. Free gear. $500 flat deposit. No hidden fees. No upcharges. No fine print.
Other rental companies might lure you in with flashy discounts or “member pricing,” but by the time you check out, you’re paying 20–25% more... $299/day to $210/day for 30 days, with $2,000–$4,000 deposits. Add-on fees, mystery taxes, overpriced insurance, and gear charges are the norm over there — not the exception.
At Route 101, you pick the motorcycle you want, lock it in, grab your free gear, and ride. It’s that simple.
We don’t believe in bloated fees, fine print, or charging extra just because we can. Route 101 Motorsports offers transparent, all-in pricing on every motorcycle rental... no upcharges to choose your exact bike, no surprise add-ons, and no hidden costs. With the industry’s lowest deposit ($500 flat fee!), lowest priced rental insurance ($19/day Max coverage!), free riding gear, and same-day availability, we deliver more value per mile than any other motorcycle rental company (PERIOD!).
Big rental companies bait you with low rates, then pile on hidden fees, damage deposits, and add-ons.
Peer-to-peer sites can be risky — owner reliability and bike condition varies, and for groups, grabbing multiple bikes across town is a logistical nightmare.
