Why Choose Tournride for Your Camino de Santiago Bike Adventure?
At Tournride, we understand that the idea of cycling the Camino de Santiago can be appealing for several reasons: you save time and money by covering more kilometers per day, and you enjoy greater comfort by avoiding the typical discomforts of walking, such as blisters and muscle strains. However, there are important aspects that are often overlooked. Here, we present three key advantages of choosing our bike rental service over using your own bike or walking.
1. Comfort and Convenience
Imagine you’ve planned everything and are ready to start your adventure. How will you transport your bike to the starting point? Dismantling, packing, and transporting it (including possible flights and transfers) can be a complicated and exhausting task. And once you reach Santiago de Compostela, you’ll have to repeat the entire process.
With Tournride, we take care of everything. Just tell us where you’re staying, and we’ll ensure your bike is ready the day before your route begins. Upon completion, we can pick it up in Santiago de Compostela. Simply identify it with our details and your reservation information, and notify the reception at your accommodation. We recommend dropping it off at our store to avoid surcharges and meet our staff.
2. Cost Savings
The Camino de Santiago is demanding on bikes, not just aesthetically, but also mechanically. We’ve estimated that the wear and tear a bike endures during the Camino can amount to 100 €, not including logistics and transportation costs. Additionally, any mishap can leave you without assistance or the ability to continue your journey.
Our bikes are mid to high-end, and we offer comprehensive assistance throughout your route, making our service more economical and secure.
3. Safety and Guarantees: Tournride Full Assistance
Our bikes and accessories are designed to withstand the demands of the Camino. Each bike undergoes a double check before being sent out and includes an anti-puncture system.
Choose Tournride. Tournride Full Assistance
Additionally, by choosing Tournride, you have the option to add the Tournride Full Assistance service, which includes permanent telephone assistance, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in 4 languages. If you encounter a problem, we’ll send a taxi to the nearest workshop to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. The repair is on us, and if the workshop is not a Tournride partner, we’ll reimburse you the full amount with proof of receipt.
How to Activate Tournride Full Assistance?
Select your route, bike, and accessories, and choose the service in step 3 of the booking process. It is activated per reservation, meaning it applies to all bikes included in the same booking.
If you’re still not convinced and prefer to use your own bike, we can help with packaging for your return trip. The cost of the boxes is 15 euros, subject to availability.
