I’m a girl who love bikes more than cars. Last week I’ve been to Bangalore for couple of days to meet my friend. So I thought of renting a bike for one day. Being there for 4 years after my post graduation, I knew pretty much about Bangalore traffic jam. Skyout a startup,so I prefer this ,because they deal better with clients. Skyout started its operations in 2017. The portal offers 70 bikes as of now and from more than 3 location in Bangalore.I’ve decided to rent a bike from them.
Booking Process and Pick up Facility: The booking process is very simple; all you need to do is signup with the basic necessary details like Name, Mobile Number and permanent address details. You can also use their social media plateform for booking. Then you need to select the date and time, from which you would like to rent the bike.
Then it shows list of bikes with their available location. Some of the major pick up areas are Manyata HSR Layout Flyover and Mahadevpura,Bangalore.
Bike Rental Cost: I’ve booked for 23 hours from 24th Sep 8:00 pm to 25th Sep 7:00 pm. Which costs me around INR 690 with a security deposit of INR 1000. Find the below comparison of Skyout.in with some of the other bike rental companies in Bangalore.
Best Bike Rentals Bangalore Motor bikes includes Pulsar, avenger and gixer etc. All the above mentioned rates are in INR Pickup Procedure: At the time of pick up you need give a hard copy of address proof and driving license with the caution deposit of INR. 1000.
Vehicle Conditions: As I already told I rented out a Suzuki Gixxer Green/Black it’s very powerful and ultra-light 155cc engine with Suzuki’s Eco Performance (SEP) technology, designed by the engineers who designed the legendary GSX-R series. It’s a new bike which ran just 5500 kms and once again kudos to the team, the bike was very well maintained. Due to rain there were some mud’s in the tyres. As it’s a whiteboard bike there won’t be issues in driving these bikes in Karnataka.
Fuel: I’ve filled petrol for INR 100 and the mileage of the Suzuki Gixxer bikes in city is more than 55. Around 80kms I drove on that day.
So by exactly at 6:35 pm I’ve retuned the bike. Before that they do some checks on the bikes conditions; once it’s done they will return you the deposit amount immediately.
Advantages of renting a bike: I feel renting a bike is cheaper than spending on cabs. Yes I accept that traffic is more and if you look for convenience cab will the only one option. But if you want to enjoy the Bangalore weather and you want to roam around with your friend in Bangalore means bike will be the best and cost effective option and it will save you at least 4 hours in that day.
Most Important things: The above mentioned cost is not inclusive of petrol charges, you need to fill the fuel on your own.Two helmets will be provided for a two-wheeler as complementary. If you pay INR 300 Doorstep delivery of the bikes are available but while dropping you need to go to that place. Trip extension requests are to be made at least 2 hours before the drop off time. All bikes has GPS tracking which tracks your speeding.
Improvements: Skyout should at least change the vehicle pick up and drop time from 7 a.m to 7 p.m which helps customer to pick his/her vehicle before traffic.
Ultimately Skyout, where you can rent some good bikes much cheaper than other bike rentals in Bangalore. It gives you gear as well as non-gear bikes, which is an one stop destinations right from high-end models of Harley Davidson, Kawasakis, Enfields, Suzukis and Scooters too.
