Looking for personal experiences renting a motorcycle near Monte Grappa / Col delle Rane

Hi everyone,

I’ll be staying near Col delle Rane (Veneto, close to Monte Grappa) in early July, and I’m hoping to do a one‑day motorcycle ride into the Dolomites. I’m not looking for commercial recommendations, but I’m curious whether anyone here has personally rented a motorcycle in this area before.

I’ve noticed that many rental places around Bassano del Grappa / Feltre / Treviso don’t seem to have websites, so I’m trying to understand how people usually arrange this. I’m flexible, but it would likely be on Wednesday July 5 or Thursday July 6.

If you’ve rented a bike anywhere within about an hour of Monte Grappa (or if you’re local and know how this typically works) I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Just trying to get a sense of what’s realistic in this region.

Thanks a lot!

Has anyone personally rented a motorcycle near Monte Grappa / Col delle Rane?

Hi all,

I’ll be staying near Col delle Rane (Veneto, close to Monte Grappa) in early July, and I’m hoping to do a one‑day ride into the Dolomites. I’m not looking for commercial recommendations, but I’m curious whether anyone here has personally rented a motorcycle in this area before.

I’ve noticed that many places around Bassano del Grappa / Feltre / Treviso don’t seem to have websites, so I’m trying to understand what the rental situation is like from people who have actually done it. I’m flexible, but it would likely be on Wed July 5 or Thu July 6.

If you’ve rented a bike anywhere within about an hour of Monte Grappa (or if you’re local and know how people usually arrange this) I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Not asking for ads or links, just trying to get a sense of what works in this region.

Thanks a lot!

Edit:

  • I have a valid motorcycle license (A) issued in the Netherlands.
  • As far as I know, an IDP is not required for EU licenses in Italy.
  • Basic research I’ve done:
    • I checked several rental places around Bassano del Grappa, Feltre, Treviso and Belluno.
    • Many of them don’t have websites or only list a phone/WhatsApp number.
    • I tried searching for “motorent dolomiti”, “noleggio moto belluno”, “moto rent feltre”, etc., but many of the websites mentioned online no longer exist (DNS errors).
    • I don’t speak Italian, so calling is difficult, and online translators don’t help much when companies don’t have written info available.

I’m only asking for personal experiences, not commercial recommendations.

Motorcycle rental near Col delle Rane (Veneto, Italy), looking for tips for early July

Hi everyone,

This is a bit of a long shot, but I’m hoping someone here might know the area. I’ll be staying near Col delle Rane (Veneto, close to Monte Grappa) and I’d like to rent a motorcycle for one day to ride into the Dolomites. Ideally on Wed July 5 or Thu July 6.

I’ve been searching online, but many rental places around Bassano del Grappa / Feltre / Belluno don’t seem to have proper websites. Most only use phone or WhatsApp, and since I don’t speak Italian it’s hard to figure out what bikes they actually have, what the prices are, and whether they rent helmets/jackets.

What I’m looking for:

  • A proper motorcycle (no 50cc/125cc scooters)
  • Something suitable for mountain roads (mid‑size or adventure bikes)
  • Helmet rental available
  • Within ~30–60 minutes from Col delle Rane
  • Ideally a rental shop with a website or at least a clear list of available bikes

I know this is very specific, but maybe someone here lives in the region, has rented a bike there before, or knows a reliable rental shop nearby. Any tips, names, or experiences would be super appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
