Company

We are two brothers who founded bikerentalalgarve.com to give people an unforgettable and adventurous experience.

Most likely you will meet Alex, one of the brothers, on the day of your booking.  Alex is fanatic sports guy, who played for the Dutch National Rugby team and is a long-time surfer. 

He has worked for years in the tourism industry, giving surf lessons and tours to all ages.

We fully believe in the Nomad lifestyle, meaning we love to be on the road at all times. 

At the same time, we really want to differentiate our business by providing free deliveries to your hotel, camping or house. 

This also means that we can offer you a much better price than most other companies, as they are dealing with hundreds of bikes and expensive office rentals. We have an exclusive, brand new selection of bikes, which are well maintained.

But not worried, we have an office in Amsterdam, located at the Keizersgracht to be exact. We are Duchies, and have incorporated our company in The Netherlands.
