Fun bikes and experience. But the prices are a total scam. I rent two bikes for two days, I was at the Fort Lauderdale office, I specified I didn't want the VIP insurance (39 dollars a day), and the guy charged me anyway. I think he saw the foreigner...
Attention : les surcharges de prix (assurance alors que vous dites que vous n'en voulez pas, taxe environnement, etc...) font exploser les prix annoncés quand vous consultez le site. Motos sympa, mais je pense qu'ils attaquent quand on comprend moins bien l'anglais. Lisez bien votre contrat !

Absolutely horrendous customer service…
Absolutely horrendous customer service and misleading full refund wording on their website. (Might even be illegal) I recently rented 3x Harley’s for a route 66 trip note I’m from the UK so this was a big deal. The deposit was paid and full payment due 4 weeks before collection. Being a good citizen I decided to pay the full amount 3 weeks prior to the full amount being due as the website said full refund available. Unfortunately one of the riders had to pull out for personal reasons. I contacted Eagle riders and asked for a refund on that bike but we still wanted the other 2. To my surprise somewhere in the small print the “full refund” is in the form of store credits😱 (not very useful to me from the UK) as I signed the T&Cs they refused to budge and effectively told me I was stupid to pay the full fee before it was due so nothing they can do. What horrendous customer service is that !! I can only advise other consumers to either not use this company ever or ensure you don’t need to cancel as there full refund text on there website is a scam and misleading.

I booked this company for the first…
I booked this company for the first time as part of our anniversary trip in Waikki HI. The booking was made the 6th of August for a 2 Dec ride. I received a non confirmation notice when I booked for the Harley Road Glide, which I understood and expected based on the terms of service. On 9 Sep I received confirmation that I had the bike....boy looking forward to that ride...getting to Hawaii it was a on and off again rain situation and had doubts of how much ride time I was going to get in but nonetheless I planned my ride around the island. About a week before my rent date I received email from eagle rider, safety checklist, verification drivers license and watch video orientation...all of which I completed quickly. The day of my ride I get a phone call from eagle rider...I'm sorry but we do not have a bike available, it seems our system overbooked. However the guy let it slip the other guy was renting for 3 days vs my one day so he was getting the bike, they did offer me another smaller model which I refused since I was familiar with what I rented as well as riding with my wife, I politely declined and they refunded my money. It rubbed me the wrong way since I believe the reason I lost my rental was for someone who was renting fir more days and probably for the motorcycle event that was happening on island that weekend.

Hi Bob, I am very sorry to hear that this happened to you, but our system does not allow for any accidental reservations as there are several steps in the booking process to finalize your booking that goes as far as you having to confirm that the booking you wish to make is correct. We also have a refund policy that if you canceled well in advance of your reservation, you would receive a refund, so I'm not sure what happened in your case.

I was coming from out of the country and very excited to book the Route 66 tour. It looked like the perfect setup—hotel rooms coordinated, fantastic motorcycles provided, and of course legendary Route 66. About a week before the tour, I had a motorcycle accident and broke my foot and wasn't able to go. I had paid $4,500 in deposits. I sent them documentation including medical records and pictures of me in the hospital. Their response? They told me to POUND SAND. They claimed that they were responsible for hotels yet I looked at the hotel cancellation policies and only 24 hours' notice was required. I informed them more than a week before the hotel dates.
We are motorcycle riders, unfortunately, accidents happen. These guys are crooks. Stay away from them.

Hi Patrice, we're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your experience with us. Looking into this it looks like my team did respond in the best way recommending you contact your travel insurance company, but you never advised if you filed or not. We received your cancellation notice on August 1 for a SDT starting with bike pick up on August 3. There is no 24hr hotel cancellation policy and we do incur cancellation fees for hotels canceled less than a week before the tour. Our tours department did all they could to try and get refunds on hotels, and issued the remaining balance in a store credit for you.

Crap credit system and customer service
From Florida, Rented once in Colorado right after signing up. 6 months and 5 rental credits accumulated later and I try to rent at st. Augustine. "Location does not take club credits". Was willing to pick up somewhere else in the way to st. augustine, but it was the same with all 5 of the other central Florida locations. So tell me y tf do u offer monthly credits if not all locations will accept them and y tf won't you give me a refund for the months I paid to accumulate credits, now that I want to cancel?! Don't use this company! Total scam!

Hi Jason, we're sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your club membership. We try and be as transparent as possible and clearly state on our website all of the locations that do and do not accept club credits. It also clearly states that this is an annual membership on a one year contract. We currently have over 100 locations around the world that accept credits and we're actively working on bringing in even more locations to make riding all year long even easier for our members.

"Penalty"
An experience with any organization is rarely more than the sum of its parts. When an organization goes out of its way to please its customers, the customers will often repay that organization with word-of-mouth advertising and loyalty. The opposite, however, is also true. When an organization goes out of its way to ‘penalize’ its customers, the customers go out of their way to write reviews like this one.
Let’s start this review off right. I have used Eagle Rider in the past to rent motorcycles. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I am a good customer of theirs, but I was repeat business. In the past, I picked up bikes and rode them, they were reasonably well maintained, and I had few problems. The prices were always a little high, but given the reduced hassle of having to worry about maintenance and the few times I rented, it seemed an ok trade-off.
Now everything changed this last time and for none of the reasons listed above. I will never rent from them again because they cannot train their customer support staff properly. I rented a bike in Colorado on 8/2 for pickup on 8/18. Like most renters, I didn’t read the fine print, but I expected some level of corporate CYA in there. Cancellation charges are expected within a certain window of time. On 8/7, I had to cancel the trip and contacted Eagle Rider at 11 am PDT. The phone system offered me a call-back option, and thankfully I took it. Because 2:17 pm PDT is when I got called back. I explained the situation, and the customer service rep used the word ‘penalty’ no less than five times. Just so you know, if you cancel within 20 days of picking the bike up, you get hit with paying 60% of the booking price. They also hit you with a slightly lower ‘Penalty’ for canceling within 30 days of the pickup.
Needless to say, even giants like Enterprise or National don’t use the word ‘Penalty’ to describe their cancellation charges. They also don’t sack the consumer with 60% of the cost nearly a month from the pickup. All that said, I started looking more closely at the actual booking and what it entails. I remember the site listing the bike rental cost as $124 per day. I rented the bike as a single-day Pickup at 9 am return at 5 pm. With all the taxes and fees, including a “Peak Season Surcharge,” the price came out to $225.68. Needless to say, I have learned a lesson here. That is never rent from Eagle Rider again. It is a real shame as every lost customer and bad review only results in the prices getting hiked for the remaining customers.
So Eagle Rider, if you are looking for the answer to your dwindling customer base only getting smaller, start training your customer service reps. Start looking at ways of getting what you want without completely screwing your customers. You could have kept a customer if you had trained and empowered that person properly. Leave T&Cs as they exist, train your service reps to refer to it as a cancellation charge, then empower them to discount that fee, especially when the rental was made within the window, and bike availability was plentiful.
Also, the returned 40% of the grand total, including fees, was done as a store credit.
