Security Deposit

A security (or damage) deposit is authorized on credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Am.Ex.) at the time before you pick-up the bike. For rentals of more than 15 days, we cannot authorize a card so we need to actually charge it with the amount of the damage deposit. The authorization is released (or the charge is refunded) upon return and successful inspection of the undamaged motorcycle.

Please keep in mind, the release timeline depends on your specific bank’s processing policies:

• Typically: 3-7 business days
• Maximum: Up to 3 weeks in some cases

MotoGreece has no control of how long it takes.

We explain the process in detail, including common issues and misconceptions, in this dedicated guide: Understanding PreAuthorization

Booking Deposit

A deposit equal to 25% of the rental value is required to reserve your booking. The remaining balance is paid when you arrive, at motorcycle hand-over. You will get a full refund if you are forced to cancel due to official travel restrictions (please see our cancellation policy for more details).

Pick-up and drop-off

Pick-up and drop-off is at our office, address: Astydamantos 85, 11634, Athens. A subway/metro station is located nearby within 4 minutes walking time. You can collect/return motorcycles during non-office hours and in weekends, but this must be arranged during the reservation procedure.

We can deliver/pickup up to 2 motorcycles to/from some hotels in Athens area upon request at no extra charge. Athens International Airport pick-ups or drop-offs can be arranged for an extra 70 euros per individual motorcycle transfer, subject to availability of our crew.

Optional:

GPS, Helmets, Jackets, gloves available for rent (limited items, reservation is required !)

Road Assistance: What You Should Know

If something mechanical goes wrong:

We start with phone diagnosis—many issues can be resolved with guidance. If not, we call our road assistance provider. They’ll reach you (time depends on your location), attempt on-site repair, or tow the bike to an approved shop. For major failures, we tow back to Athens. No extra cost to you for any of this.

Replacement motorcycles:

We have no legal obligation to provide one, but if it’s a genuine mechanical failure and we have bikes available, we’ll do everything possible. Delivery depends on your distance from Athens—could take several hours to a day. Breakdowns on remote mountain roads take time to resolve. We’ll support you, but motorcycles don’t get towed to doorsteps instantly in rural Greece.

We won’t provide a replacement if the damage was rider-caused or from a crash. In those cases, road assistance still applies.

Important reality:

We can’t evaluate damage remotely. If you choose to keep riding after a breakdown or crash—even after repairs—that decision is yours. We can’t accept liability beyond that point.
