Thank you Andy!
I' ve checked their site already.
Only big motos (>650cc) and prices from $90/day, plus a deposit of $2500!
Too much for me... I've sent them a mail for something cheaper...
Will see,
Alex

rental and borders
You might know this already, but as far as I know it is impossible to cross borders with a rented motorcycle.

@Peter: No intents to escape Bolivia... so far! Just fooling around! Thanks anyway...
News from BOLIVIAMOTORS for anyone interested:
Bike(650cc) rental comes to $600 per week + $2500 of guarrantee
(or $1000 of guarrantee if a $15 of extra security is added daily)
For me it's too expensive... hoped for $35-40/per day for a chinese 250!
Will see... a bicycle maybe??? hahaha

You can rent bikes in uyuni as well.

Only with guide though.

So i guess out of budget as well.

I've contacted the mtb's department in Uyuni, asking for renting a 250cc or 400cc bike for a week or so, WITHOUT guide. They answered that don't rent bikes sin guia... because Salar is a very dangerous area....mpla... mpla...:confused1:
However they told me that rental without guide is posible at their department in La Paz. I've mailed already, no answer though...
What's going with these folks???
Anyway, is there someone who've actually rent a bike (without guide) in Bolivia...???

SPAM ON
Don't you think that danger factor is a bit subjective... or nο?
I wonder if this is only MY way of thinking...???
