But the price of 5000 we had got was after lot of bargaining. <br /><br />The charges should be at most:<br />(days to bring bikes back) * ((daily bike rental) + (daily mechanic charge)) + (petrol cost).<br /><br />Taking 2 days for the mechanic to get the bike back it is roughly:<br />(2 * (1200 + 1500) + 1500) = 6900<br /><br />Taking 1 day for the mechanic to get the bike back it is roughly:<br />(1200 + 1500) + 1500 = 4200<br /><br />This of course includes their profit, but if the bike was not with you, they would have been rented out at these rates. If you are going during the off peak season or hiring a good number of bikes, you should bargain hard or talk to some other rental agency. But focus on getting good bikes so that you enjoy the ride better with minimal breakdowns/problems. All the best. And do let us know how the ride went!Tanmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342457728508357508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701809777463229951.post-48579319618255992992012-06-03T01:10:11.852+05:302012-06-03T01:10:11.852+05:30Hi Tanmay,

The agency is charging us Rs.5000/bike for the return transport and an additional Rs.1200/bike for the petrol. I am ok with Rs.5000 after reading your post, but do they usually charge for the petrol too??Krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18250826246483284208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701809777463229951.post-25849113186550064222012-06-03T01:07:48.752+05:302012-06-03T01:07:48.752+05:30Hi Tanmay,

Rs.1200/day for a bullet (reasonable)<br />2. Rs.5000/bike for return (reasonable)<br />3. Rs.1200/bike for petrol for return (unreasonable)<br /><br />So to return the bikes, we'll have to pay Rs.5000 + Rs.1200 per bike. Is this reasonable rate? I'm ok with Rs.5000 but they are charging us again for the petrol !!!<br /><br />Please let us know what you think.Krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18250826246483284208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701809777463229951.post-13807733685532267952011-09-26T17:09:36.324+05:302011-09-26T17:09:36.324+05:30@Mayank Road trip is definitely much more exciting...@Mayank Road trip is definitely much more exciting and beautiful.
