Celtic Rider Ireland Tours (Est 2007) are officially approved by Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland. We are Irelands first and largest Motorcycle Rental & Touring company, with 56 motorcycles in our fleet.
Proud Winner of National Small Firms association ‘Outstanding Small Business 2013’ awarded to Celtic Rider Motorcycle Rental & Tours Ireland, also Dublin Business of the Year 2011.
Celtic Rider, Motorcycle Rental In Ireland, has compiled since 2007 a selection of award winning self-guided tours with daily routes, safety orientation and nice accommodation included in the price. This has taken quite some effort on our part, and is an ongoing important component of the development of Celtic Rider, but it really is a most wonderful option for our clients. Indeed over 80% of our turnover is now Self-drive tour packages, versus motorcycle hire only. We have found from our client’s positive feedback over many years, that they were extremely happy with the routes we created, which are designed to allow overseas riders to maximise their experiences each day, and our choice of quality B&B or hotel accommodation, and equally important is the location of the accommodation providers in traditional towns and villages. All motorcycles are fitted with Garmin Zumo 590 GPS, which each day’s route downloaded, including the address of the accommodation provider, leading to a hassle-free tour.
After eight claim free years, our Insurance underwriters have allowed our motorcycles to be taken to Mainland Europe from 2017 onwards, opening limitless touring experiences. This European tour, our first foray into Europe, is in its standard format 21 days in duration, but can be reduced or extended to allow for rest or exploratory days.
