Choice of geared and un-geared motorbikes and scooters can be borrowed on rent (typically without helmets). Those planning to stay long can consider buying them too. Rentals are around Rs 300 (Rs 200 in non-peak season)a day on a Honda Activa scooter and a little more if one is looking for a geared motorcycle, you buy the gasoline extra as needed. Many small roadside shops sell gas at Rs 75 a liter, while the going rate at a station (these are hard to locate in the coastal areas) is around Rs 65 a liter.
For the motorbikes, always ask for a discount if renting long-term (one month or more) when you should not have to pay more than Rs 100 per day (scooter). Ensure that you have all the ownership documents of the bike. Also, avoid taking motorbikes with yellow plates out of Goa, it is a punishable offense. Hiring a bike with white plates is ok for local travel in your immediate vicinity but if you want to travel further afield then always rent with yellow plates. Wearing a crash helmet is compulsory when you go on any major roads, ask for local advice. Rs 100 fine for not wearing, or a large hospital bill. Don't forget that foreigners will need an International Driving Permit (Convention 1949) and this is the first thing the police will ask you for if stopped. You should also carry your normal driving licence with you.
