CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES

  • RenTrip Gonna be My First Choice Forever

    It has been an awesome experience for me when I got to roam places like Dipor Bil, Kamakhya Temple, Umanadna temple and many more places on my way to Dispur. Before I started the journey I wasn't sure I would get chance to visit and these all beautiful places....yeah they truly are..... Coz i wasn't acquainted there and I wasn't having the confidence to even think of visiting these many places. It was so affordable and friendly that no one can even imagine unless gives a shot to RenTrip. Once again I recommend to all my dear bike lovers to go for RenTrip.

  • Trip to ASSAM and MEGHALAYA!

    We had booked two Bikes (Pulsar 180 & 150) for my ASSAM and MEGHALAYA trip from Rentrip Guwahati. The bikes were very well maintained and perfectly clean when they handed the key. So no trouble with the bike at any place ..Which made the whole trip tension free. Even the bike renting was so easy within 30 min all formalities were over All the staffs of Rentrip were very cooperative. I'd be happy to rent from them again & I would recommend anybody who wants to feel the roads of ASSAM and MEGHALAYA by self-driving go for Rentrip.
