Choosing Between Hourly and Day Bike Rentals – A Complete Guide for Siliguri Riders

Planning a ride across Siliguri, Darjeeling, or the scenic Dooars? One of the first questions you’ll face while booking a two-wheeler is:
Should I go for an hourly rental or a full-day rental?

At Bike Wale Bhaiya, we offer both — because every rider and trip is different. In this blog, we break down the pros and cons of each option to help you make the smartest decision for your ride and your wallet.

 

Hourly Bike Rentals – Flexibility & Cost-Efficiency

 Best For:

• Quick errands in town
• Local city tours
• Commuting to work/college
• Short-distance market or café runs
• Tourists with limited time

Price Range:

Starts as low as ₹40 to ₹80 per hour depending on the vehicle

Duration:

Minimum 1 hour – no forced 24-hour rental

 Benefits:

• Pay only for the time you ride
• Perfect for travelers with tight schedules
• Great for testing a bike before a long ride
• No need to block the bike all day

Example Use:

Visiting Siliguri’s local markets, temples, or heading from NJP station to a hotel — all within 2–3 hours. Why pay for a full day?

 

Day Bike Rentals – More Mileage, More Adventure

 Best For:

• Full-day road trips (e.g., Siliguri to Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Mirik)
• Weekend getaways
• Exploring multiple locations in one trip
• Travel bloggers and riders shooting content

 Price Range:

From ₹350 to ₹1200 per day (depending on the model: scooty, standard, or premium bike)

 Duration:

Flexible – 6 hours to 24 hours or more

 Benefits:

• Ride without watching the clock
• Fixed cost – no hourly stress
• Enjoy scenic stops, meal breaks, and detours
• Ideal for long and relaxed journeys

 Example Use:

A day trip to Kurseong, Darjeeling, or Lataguri — with multiple stops for sightseeing, food, and photography.
