Enfield Rental
Hi,
I am thinking of taking a 12-day (or maybe longer) tour on a rented Enfield in Tamil Nadu. Since I would be flying in to Chennai, I hope to rent the bike in this city. Rough Guides suggested U-Rent services and I had emailed U-Rent a few days earlier but have yet to receive a reply. Are there other recommended rental shops in Chennai? I heard that motorcycle rental is not allowed in some states. Is it true? I would rather not have the hassle of buying and selling bikes. Regards. |

you can rent bikes in Pondicherry - but I have not heard of a similar service in Chennai. Enfield does allow you to rent their bikes for a weekend to "experience" these bikes.
If you have not driven / riden in India before- it is strongly reccomended that you get a hang of the traffic first, and then venture out on your own. There are several sections in IM that talk about travel / driving in India. In anycase- incase you do feel the urge to ride- do carry a valid International Driving Permit.

Hi madan80, thanks for the tips. I do have an international driving permit for motorcycle. While I have not rode in India before, I have done so in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. I am still deciding between Tamil Nadu or Sri Lanka for a short vacation. Meanwhile, I will try to find out more information.
