SD Spyder Rentals

Their lack of communication and effective management kills any chance for my business in the future. They had a deal on living social, i purchased it, called to reserve, was put on hold for 10 minutes, i hung up, called back, call went straight to voicemail for the next 3 days, then it rang to a fax. I then faxed my request. I got a call back from my fax a week later, they told me they didnt have it because it had been wrecked, but they were buying another. Called closer to my time I would be in San Diego and got the run around by everyone I spoke with, they even told Living Social that they had another bike for me to rent but when I called to set it up, they said it wasnt the case. If you plan to have a fun day on the bay or on the road, I would stay away because if they cant handle papers, how can they handle maintenance. Shady operation.

5 * for the check in n out it was fast but wasnt rushed, the gent check in gave a quick orientation on how to run it. Paid the 1K deposit and out i go. Helmet included.

I, like others, had a living social deal. I actually cashed it in on the last weekend it was good. I made my reservation about a week and a half prior. No problems with the reservation. I showed up and was given a nice tour of the Spyder. I have ridden a motorcycle in the past, but a very long time ago, so familiarizing me with everything helped. I had my girlfriend with me. They fitted both of us with helmets. I had the semi-​automatic Spyder. We pulled out onto the residential street that is on the side of the business and went back and forth a few times to get used to it, then we pulled into traffic and started our 4 hour rental. Did not have any problems with the Spyder at all. The trunk on the front actually holds a lot of stuff. Returned it with no hassles. Would rent from Daniel again. If you’re thinking about doing this, give it a try.

Had a great experience. The staff were wonderful and took good care of us. Took a 4 hr rental with my wife on the manual shift Spyder. We’re experienced motorcyclists. Someone without manual experience might be intimidated or have a problem controlling it, so you might want to opt for the automatic. That said, it was a blast! Even a minor issue with the trike was no biggie: They said «call if you have a problem» and they were good to their word. They talked me through a solution and added ½hr of time for our trouble.
The Spyder is a unique vehicle. Because CA does not require a motorcycle license (who knows how long THAT will last?) anyone with a driver license can get the feel of riding a motorcycle. Just be aware that turns require you (and your passenger) to hang on tight, because it doesn’t lean into a turn.
Overall a fun time!

if i could, i would give zero stars!!! this place is horrible. the customer service sucks even more so from the owner. i bought a groupon several weeks ago, they told me when i called they were booked several weeks out… i made a reservation for ⁶⁄₂₁. to my surprise «the so called manager» calls me at 8:30 am on ⁶⁄₂₁ to cancel my reservation claiming the bike i rented was out of order. he stated he called me back on ⁶⁄₈ to cancel this reservation & i should have called back (how could one know two weeks previously that the bike i had rented was going to be broken down) sounds fishy to me…
i guess they don’t communicate over there at that establishment, because i called ⁶⁄₁₇ & spoke to the employee by the name of chris who confirmed my reservation for ⁶⁄₂₁. long story short, my husband & i ended up missing out on a family party out of town due to having these reservations i made for my husband for father’s day!!! this was disappointing getting the short end of the stick because we didn’t get to go out for a ride on the spyder (which i was renting because i was considering a purchase), we missed a family party & i now need to go purchase something else for him for father’s day!
this place sucks & so do the people that run it. take your business elsewhere!!!

Had a Living Social deal for a CanAm Spyder rental. Made my reservation on the phone and showed up and was out the door in about 15 minutes with a helmet and day insurance. Spent the day riding up the coast, no jacket or gloves needed! There is a small storage place that fits backpack, jacket and some water. Really fast bike, fun to drive and a head turner for sure. They did a great job explaining everything and no issues picking up or dropping off.
Get down there and give it a try.
