Rollin Rentals

Lord, could I give them no stars? OK, a half star for being able to get where I was going yesterday, but that’s it. With all the excellent reviews, I am stunned by my experience. Rollin’ Rentals has an outfit at the HI-​Austin hostel, where I rented the bike for $ 15 for the day (with no deposit in this case) through the hostel staff. The bikes were all looking a little rough, but since they’re left outside, I wasn’t surprised. I set my sights on the Trek hybrid bike, which I figured would suit my needs.
Thankfully, I checked the brakes before peeling out of the hostel. The back brake was slack – WTF? So I peeked behind me, and sure enough, the whole thing was disconnected. I reattached the brake line, then borrowed an allen key from the hostel to tighten the cable. The real problem, however, was with the line at the handlebar, which I assume was why a previous renter had detached the cable in the first place. I was starting to understand why I’d signed a waiver.
I decided the bike was unrideable and returned the borrowed allen key to the desk. My next pick in the lineup was the green «Eddie Bauer» hybrid, which initially I had avoided because it was full suspension (an abomination, in my opinion). Aside from some roughly shifting gears and a slow ride as a result of getting no power to the wheels, it worked for awhile … and then the chain started popping off. Repeatedly.
Bottom line: a low-​quality bike in bad repair.
I arrived at Barton Springs with greasy, grubby fingers, overtired from a difficult ride on a full suspension bike, and an extremely bruised ischiopubis from the bizarre seat which seemed cushion-​y enough (but the way I’m walking today says otherwise). I rented a bike to have fun and get around the way I do when I’m back home. If I’d known it would be such a pain in the ass, I would have rented a car, or at least called him directly than just accepting what was available at the hostel …

Greg and Rollin’ Rentals are the best bike rental in Austin. He’s reasonably priced, provides bike, helmet, lock and lights for one low price. He also delivers and picks up the bikes. This is huge since most who rent don’t have a way to go pick up the bike. Don’t look any further, Give Greg a call. I can highly recommend him. I rent out my airstream and have used him exclusively for my guests. The bikes are very well maintained.

Rollin Rentals is incredible! I’m in Austin for a conference and wanted a bike. Greg delivered a bike to me at 8am complete with the basket I had requested. It rode like a dream — until I got a flat after riding to Barton Springs. I texted Greg after 10pm (didn’t realize I’d gotten a flat until after dinner). He texted me back immediately and met me with a new bike. All this for $ 15 a day. Could not recommend it more if you are visiting Austin.

I came here for the weekend from NC and stayed at a local hostel. I wanted to rent a bike and the hostel had fliers up for a couple local places. I called the competition but their prices are at least double the $ 15 I paid for my bike from Rollin Rentals.
Rollin Rentals offers a variety of bikes, mine was a Schwinn hybrid road cruiser. The bike was in great shape, everything worked smoothly over the 25 miles + I road this wknd.
They got me a bike map of Austin, a night light, helmet, lock, and key. And then they delivered it to the hostel and picked it up!
Don’t let the friendliness of the owners fool you into thinking Rollin Rentals is low quality. It’s one of those rare businesses where you get quality AND an affordable price, along with happy local owners to talk with. Rollin Rentals all the way.

Renting a bike should not cost more than renting car, and that’s where Rollin Rentals comes in.
You can rent a bike for $ 15 a day ($ 50 deposit) and that’s not all folks! Not only will they throw in a helmet, bike lights, and a lock, they will also drop off the bike and pick it up wherever you want!
My brother came to visit me a couple of weeks ago from Dallas and I wanted to rent him a bike so I could prove to him that one of the most biker friendly cities in the US does exist in TX. Even though Rollin Rentals did not have a review, I looked up their website and decided to give them a try. I called them up the day I wanted to rent a bike thinking I may be out of luck (procrastinator, I know!!), but luckily he had a couple of road ones available.
Greg Mueller, the owner, was not only knowledgeable and friendly, but also very accommodating. He told me that if anything went wrong, a flat tire, anything really, to just give him a call anytime and he’d come find us. He was on time both when he dropped the bike off and picked it up. The hours of operation say from 2 — 9pm, but according to him, he’s available all the time.
The business is fairly new, and since the quality and price of the service exceeded my expectations I decided to finally create a Unilocal account and review it so others can give it a try.
I’m glad I decided to give this place a shot, and I will definitely be using them when my out of state peeps come out and visit for ACL this weekend. What state are my friends from you may ask… some things are better left unsaid, like what goes into making hot dogs or how many kids the stripper giving you a lap dance has.
