To rent a motorcycle, a person needs to visit Royal Enfield Rental's website and then select the city where he or she requires the motorcycle. Once this is done, the website asks for pick-up time and date and drop time and date. A list is then generated which will show the models that are available and their prices. The person can then get the details of the operator by submitting a form. It is important to note that there could be a refundable amount that the operator might charge.

Speaking about this new initiative, Mohit Dhar Jayal, Chief Brand Officer, Royal Enfield, said, "Our extended family of motorcycle rental and tour operators and mechanics have played a critical role in shaping our culture and mission of pure motorcycling. Alongside our efforts, the people of this extended ecosystem have built wider access and aspiration for our motorcycles. Our new Royal Enfield Rentals initiative will enable access for riders to rent a motorcycle anywhere in India, and it will also enhance the level of support we offer to all motorcycle rental operators who represent the backbone of our ecosystem across tourist and rider destinations everywhere".
