Santiago Rentals and Service
 

I just finished a two month ride with my wife from Santiago to Ushuaia and back to Santiago. We shipped our bikes down, but on the very first day her bike quit running with an electrical issue. Being a thirty five year old 1981 R80GS we could not find any parts available. So we returned to Santiago to the firm known as Ride-Chile.com after speaking to Tomas Karstegl we said to bring her bike to their location where they would store her bike and we could rent one of theirs in order to continue our trip and stay on track with our itinerary. We arrived back in Santiago late afternoon with broken down bike, filled out paperwork for rental. Then by the following day they had serviced their F700GS bike with new tires, new chain & sprockets, oil change and new filter. We were off by mid afternoon. They bent over backwards to do anything we needed. You could not find any better service from someone on such short notice. They also run Moto Service Santiago and can service most late model middle to large adventure bikes. I highly recommend Tomas and his partner Mick for any help involving motorcycles you might require while in Chile. They also can arrange tours for group travel.

Pit Stop in Santiago
 

An unscheduled pit stop last month found us needing two 16 inch rear tires:
Great Around The World Motorcycle Adventure Rally

A frantic afternoon telephone call to Mick and Tomas at Ride-Chile resulted in them finding the needed tires in Santiago and then being delivered to their office/workshop for collection the next morning. They are a couple of dedicated and hard working motorcycle travel fellows, and both entertaining with global tales to trade from their extensive journeys.

Camper and Motorhome rental in Santiago
 

Guys if you or somebody need a camper rental, i can recommend you AndesCampers.com, a very friendly and helpful company. I rented a camper last summer with my family and we travelled through the whole country. Was an amazing trip!

Just a tip ;) :thumbup1:

I have used Ride Chile and they are simply great. Thomas and Miki are knowledgeable and willing to help. Abrazos a los dos !
