Very bad experience with MotoGS Rental…
1 Original review
Me and my son rented motorcycles from MotoGS Croatia 13-20 Feb 2026, and the experience was unfortunately mostly negative from start to finish. Although this company is presented as a worldwide operation, a lot indicated that it is run by a single person. In my opinion this is not enough for upholding overall professionalism. Already at the check-in, this person appeared stressed and unfocused but talking a lot to my son. He repeatedly interrupted us with negative comments while we tried to prepare our gear. There was not a suitable place to change clothes. Instead we had to do all outdoors with nowhere to sit. The air was filled with cigarette smoke from the representatives smoking. The situation felt disorganised, unfriendly, impolite and very uncomfortable.
A more serious issue concerned the condition of one of the bikes. Some few minutes after check-out, my son had a strong wobbling in the bike caused by very low pressure the front tyre. This is a basic safety check that should have been completed before handing over the vehicle. I was in shock after this. When my son called this person and raised the issue, the response was dismissive (“the tyre had been filled”). However, since we did not need to refill it again during the entire rental period, this is likely not correct. We reported the incident to the local police in Trogir. When returning my bike it was almost totally clean (no dirt) and undamaged. The same person inspected and approved it without any remarks. Despite this, I was several days later accused of causing damages. I denied being totally unaware.
The claimed damage consisted of minor scratches on plastic parts that had to be changed to new parts from BMW factory. This person was uninterested in discussing reasonable repair options, like upgraded reconditioning or simple repair. But money was withdrawn from my credit card without my approval. The bank also gave the money back to me. The dispute seems to have been upgraded to a formal process.
If you still choose to rent here, I strongly recommend documenting the motorcycle thoroughly with photos and videos at both pickup and return, and ensuring that all communication is clear and recorded. Ask him specifically about what insurance coverage is provided for minor damages, and how such issues are handled. Also beware that there is No insurance provided Only third-party insurance limited to 2000 Euro (!) Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this rental service.
3. Comments on their answer.
Your response contains, among other things, several statements suggesting that I provide false information, has by this review damaged your reputation, acted in a boundary crossing manner, or used reviews as leverage in a legal matter. But it is important to distinguish between a customer experience and a formal process. My review concerns the customer experience and opinions. That experience also includes the fact that you have, without willingness to negotiate, initiated a formal process for alleged damages (see 1). All this I am in the right to describe and publish as being of interest for a customer.
My son and I had similar experiences during the rental. All described in 1 remains valid. I want to add this: In all the talk at check-in this person complained about other customers mistreating his bikes. Yet he is here writing that all other customers gives him top ratings. Regarding my son’s review that was downgraded, I can only note that it is his decision alone. I cannot comment on his reasons, more than that we shared almost all during the rental period. At the check out, I also overheard my son being instructed of the same person on what he should write in his Google review (and it resulted in 5 stars). I commented to both of them that this manner was not appropriate. This too is part of the customer experience.
I agree with the opinion that this platform is not an arena for legal dispute. But a legal dispute must originate from facts. This person has started this dispute originating from the rental. I have remained loyal to facts.
And as it is suggested that the bike was smeared with dirt. But the motorcycle was only used on asphalt, and it rained a lot during the rental. At return it was clean and possible to inspecte properly. And finally: When a claim arises after an approved inspection - taken all in considerationt - it naturally increase my uncertainty about professionalism and procedures and relevant information regarding insurance coverage. All this is relevant to mention in a customer review.
