An Idea for MC Rental in Tehran?
 

Hello All,
I am in the beginning stages of planning a motorcycle trip in Iran. Due to some time constraints and a need for a huge deposit for a Carnet if I took my own, I am trying to see if I can fly into Tehran and rent a bike. Does anyone know how I could rent a bike there? I keep seeing that there are no official places to rent but maybe someone knows someone who rents bikes?

I appreciate any info or guidance.
Thanks
BL

Update on Iran Moto Rental
 

I thought I would just post something here to say that I did find someone in Iran that says he has 5 enduro bikes (250cc) that he rents out for moto trips. I obviously do not have any useful info yet on easy of the process, reliability, trustworthiness, etc. but if someone wants his contact info, let me know.

Unfortunately, he requires a International Driving Permit. So, I am starting the weeks long process of obtaining one from Italy.

Italian bureaucracy:frown:

Damn. In Australia you just pay your $50 and they send it.

Hello Bandit L,


in Germany only EUR 16,30 and you will get the int. licence just in time and it's valid 3 years (so, this is the E.U. ;-)


Greetings

P.S.: Maybe in 3 years the war in Iran is over:(

EUR 84 and a month of waiting here in Italia...not that I am going to do anything with it for quite a while now.

Next time, maybe you try to go as an E.U. citizen with the (valid) E.U. driver licence (and your I.D. card and one passport-photo) to any other E.U. country (Germany e.g.).

Interesting. I wish I had known that would have worked.

I don’t understand. How does that help riding in Iran? Clearly I missed something :)
