Jackson, Wyo. – Get your motor runnin' and head out on the highway.

JH Harley Rentals has introduced a new way to tour the beautiful Jackson Hole area: On a Harley-Davidson motorcycle rented from a convenient downtown location.

Whether you want to tour Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks or explore the Continental Divide, there is no better way to hit the open road this summer.

Rentals are $150 per day, with discounts available for multi-day excursions. We also offer $75 half-day rentals, based on availability. The JH Harley Rentals fleet provides a choice of Electra Glide Classics or Low Rider Super Glides.

JH Harley Rentals is the only company in Teton County, Wyo., that rents motorcycles for touring and one of the few in the whole state of Wyoming that rents Harley-Davidsons.

Jackson residents are already well accustomed to seeing Harleys on the street during the summer. Each year, hundreds of Harley riders pass through the town on their way to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, a Hog festival that attracts nearly half a million riders each year. This year's Sturgis Rally runs from Aug. 4 through 10.

"We chose Harley-Davidson motorcycles because of their appeal and popularity. Harley riders have a counterculture image. We think that fits right in with the rugged Western frontier spirit that you still find in Jackson," said Wayne DuPied, co-owner of JH Harley Rentals.

The ability to rent a Harley in Jackson Hole is going to appeal to tourists who come to see the natural wonders of Northwest Wyoming but also to Jackson locals looking for an exciting ride, DuPied said.

"Thousands of people come to Jackson every summer to visit Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park and other scenic areas in our vicinity. Many of them go through incredible expense and inconvenience to bring their bikes, and many more wish they had brought their bikes with them. And, there are many Jackson residents who would love to own their own motorcycle but feel the riding season is too short to justify the expense of another ‘toy.'

"We operate out of Dave Hansen Whitewater. Come visit us at 515 N. Cache and see the bikes."


JH HARLEY RENTALS - Rental FAQ


What kind of motorcycles can I rent?
We offer two types of Harley Davidson motorcycles. The Electra Glide Classic is a pure pleasure riding machine. If you want a sportier bike, we offer Low Rider Super Glides.

When can I rent a motorcycle?
Our season begins in May and continues as long as the weather is good and people still want to ride.

How long can I keep a motorcycle?
You can rent it for one full day or for multiple days up to one full week. We will consider afternoon half-day rentals based on the availability of motorcycles.

What constitutes a day?
7 a.m. – 6 p.m. (We are able to be more flexible during peak season)

Where can I go on the motorcycle?
We only offer touring bikes, so off-road riding is strictly prohibited. However, we are surrounded by two incredibly beautiful National Parks, so you will find no shortage of scenic drives.

Can I take the bike out of the state?
Yes, regionally to neighboring states like Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Utah and Colorado.

How much does it cost?
We charge $150 per day per motorcycle, plus taxes and insurance. We offer discounts for multi-day and weekly rentals. Motorcycles also can be rented for half-days (afternoons) for $75, based on availability.

You must be at least 21 years old with at least one year of motorcycle riding experience.

What else do I need?
You must present a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement. Most personal insurance policies do not cover motorcycle rentals, so we do not require proof of insurance. We offer optional damage insurance at a rate of $30 per day with a $1,000 deductible

What about motorcycle helmets?
We are required to provide DOT-approved helmets to every rental client. Wyoming does not have a helmet law, but we encourage you to wear one.
