Do I need to book in advance or can I just turn up?

Booking in advance is recommended to guarantee your preferred bike type and rental window, especially in peak season. Walk-ins are subject to availability.

What ID and payment do I need at pick-up?

You'll need a valid photo ID and a credit card to hold the security deposit. The deposit is released when you return the bike undamaged.

Can I complete the waiver before I arrive?

Yes — you can sign the rental agreement and waiver online in advance at bit.ly/ubwaiver, which speeds up the pick-up process.

What are the opening hours and when is the last rental?

The store typically opens 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM (April–October) and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (November–March). The last rental is issued two hours before closing. Check the official Unlimited Biking website before your visit as hours can vary.

Can children join the ride?

Children under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Tag-along attachments and toddler trailers are available for an additional charge on arrival (subject to availability); children must be under 120 cm and 45 kg. Children under 12 months cannot participate.

Is there a weight limit for the bikes?

Yes — the maximum weight limit per bike is 136 kg (approximately 300 lbs).
