Bike Rental in Marine Drive Kochi

Bike Rental in Marine Drive, Kochi for Waterfront and Central-City Trips

Marine Drive is a destination for walking, socialising or enjoying time by the backwaters. It can also be the starting point for a longer day around central Ernakulam.

After visiting the waterfront, you may need to proceed to Broadway, MG Road, a hotel, or an appointment. Royal Brothers offers bikes and scooters through its Cochin rental service for these onward journeys.

Select your travel dates, view the vehicles offered and read the collection information before booking.

Can You Ride a Bike on the Marine Drive Promenade?

Despite its name, Marine Drive is not a motorway. It is a walkable stretch of land along the backwaters, from the High Court Junction towards the Rajendra Maidan, says Kerala Tourism. Motor vehicles are not allowed on the walkway itself.

A rental bike can then be useful to get to Marine Drive and onward, and not used along the promenade.

A typical plan might be like this:

• - Park at a designated spot closer to the waterfront.
• - Walk across the promenade.
• - Go back to the scooter or bike.
• - Head towards Broadway, MG Road or another direction in Ernakulam.
• - Return the vehicle in line with the booking terms and conditions.

Avoid driving the rented vehicle into the pedestrian sidewalk. Make sure to read the parking guidelines for the location you intend to park.

Arriving Near High Court Water Metro?

The Kochi Water Metro is a network of terminals located in the northern part of the central Marine Drive area, which are connected to the terminal of the High Court. The Water Metro website also lists the landmarks on Marine Drive, and the High Court side and the Broadway Market as significant locations on the network.

From the terminal, you may still need to proceed to:

• - A hotel or apartment not located on the waterfront.
• - Broadway Market.
• - An appointment to an office or court of law.
• - MG Road.
• - Ernakulam South.
• - The other leg of central Kochi.

A scooter may be appropriate for a short trip to make more than one stop. Beyond the central part of Ernakulam, a commuter bike could be more helpful.

Royal Brothers has no in-house rental center at the High Court Water Metro terminal. Do not arrive directly at the terminal to pick up a vehicle; check the collection point specified in your reservation.

From Marine Drive, a traveller may visit the following places:

• - Marine Drive and then shopping at Broadway.
• - A High Court-side appointment.
• - Visiting a hotel and personal errands.
