Bike rental in Ireland

Own a bike in Ireland? Put it for rent.

Your bike sits still most of the week. Meanwhile, tourists and locals are searching every day — for a well-maintained bike, ready to ride, close to where they are staying.

With BikUp, you can list your bike for free, choose your dates, set your price, and only accept rentals that suit you.

  • Free listing (no subscription)
  • You control availability and who you rent to
  • Built-in messaging + reviews to build trust
  • Secure payment, rental contract, deposit, support
  • BikUp fee: 5% (only when you get a booking)
  • Payout sent automatically after the rental ends

High quality bikes at low prices

On BikUp, you'll find both professional rental shops and everyday people renting out their bikes to make a little extra money. These are often high-quality bikes at surprisingly low prices!

Protection during rentals

Peace of mind for every ride: you're fully covered and supported from start to finish when you rent on BikUp. Rental agreement, security deposit, insurance, customer support: everything is in place to keep you protected!

Real environmental impact

You choose to rent a bike rather than buy it: BRAVO! Although less polluting than a car, an underused bike pollutes much more than a rental bike that is being used!

Created by and for bike lovers

BikUp was born in the minds of cyclists. The goal: to make cycling accessible, which is initially 'a sport for the rich'. Indeed, the entry cost to get equipped is prohibitive. So think about renting rather than buying!
