Varkala's 1st Govt. Authorised Motorbike Rentals — your safety, our priority.
Why riders pick us
The things we refuse to cut corners on, on every single rental.
Hourly rentals
Why pay for more time than you need? Rent for the hours you actually ride, instead of a rounded-up day.
Transparent pricing
Know the price before you ride. Rates, kilometre limits, deposits and any extra charges are shown before you book — never sprung on you at the end.
Sanitized helmets
A sanitized helmet with every ride, included in the price. A pillion helmet is available on request for a small extra charge.
Easy extension
Plans changed? Keep riding. Extend your booking by the hour from your phone, without heading back to the counter.
Digital updates
Stay updated without making repeated calls. Booking and ride updates reach you through the app and WhatsApp.
iOS and Android
Your ride, in your pocket. Manage your rental, extend it and pull up your booking from the LocoRides app.
Built as a technology-first mobility startup
Bookings, vehicle availability, licence verification, payments, extensions and operational updates all run on software we built ourselves rather than on a phone and a paper ledger. What that means for you: less coordination, less waiting, more riding.
Varkala's first government-authorized bike rental
Proud to be Varkala's first government-authorized bike rental service, offering a safe, compliant and trustworthy rental experience.
Yes, we can do it!
LocoRides started with a simple vision — to transform the way people explore places like Varkala. We're the region's first government-authorized bike rental platform, and we run as a technology-first mobility startup rather than a rental counter with a phone.
Bookings, vehicle availability, licence verification, payments, extensions and operational updates are handled by software and apps we built ourselves. That is not a detail for our benefit — it is why you can rent by the hour, see the full price before you commit, extend without finding us, and get updates without chasing anyone. Less coordination, less waiting, more riding.
What began as a handful of bikes on the cliff is now a full fleet, on the road across Varkala every day of the year.
We're here to help.
We run year round, with flexible rental and return options that fit your travel rather than our opening hours. Collect your ride from our office at Hospital Junction, a short hop from the cliff and the railway station.

Pick your hours and your ride, see the full price before you pay, and extend later from your phone if plans change.
