Top-Rated Harley Rentals in San Diego

Here’s the truth: Route 101 Motorsports doesn’t just beat the competition on price — we bury them in transparency. Whether you're riding for the day ($205 — something no other rental company even offers) or going cross-country for 30 days at $182/day, what you see is what you pay. Free gear. $500 flat deposit. No hidden fees. No upcharges. No fine print.

Other rental companies might lure you in with flashy discounts or “member pricing,” but by the time you check out, you’re paying 20–25% more — $299/day to $210/day for 30 days, with $2,000–$4,000 deposits. Add-on fees, mystery taxes, overpriced insurance, and gear charges are the norm over there — not the exception.

At Route 101, you pick the Harley you want, lock it in, grab your free gear, and ride. It’s that simple.

We don’t believe in bloated fees, fine print, or charging extra just because we can. Route 101 Motorsports offers transparent, all-in pricing on every Harley-Davidson rental in San Diego — no upcharges to choose your exact bike, no surprise add-ons, and no hidden costs. With the industry’s lowest deposit, free riding gear, and same-day availability, we deliver more value per mile than any other motorcycle rental company.

Big rental companies bait you with low rates, then pile on hidden fees, damage deposits, and add-ons.

Peer-to-peer sites can be risky — owner reliability and bike condition varies, and for groups, grabbing multiple bikes across town is a logistical nightmare.
