I rented from here January 2018. The friendly crew couldn't have made it any easier for us. Excellent service and felt comfortable across the entire country, because I could call them anytime. The motos were great and I had confidence in their reliability. One got scratched up, and the crew was more than reasonable, they didn't try to take extra money for damage like others might. I highly recommend renting from here if you visit Nicaragua, it is so much quicker to get around than buses. The capability is much needed for the many off-pavement destinations. However, with no previous riding experience, this is Not a good idea, because you will not only be unsafe, but stressed out by the dangers on and off pavement (traffic, dogs, monkeys, cattle, technical rock paths, STEEP climbs, water crossing, etc). For anybody with riding experience, this is the best way to see the country, and the best rental provider I've ever used. Ride with your ID and rental insurance & registration, and helmets Always, you Will be checked by police and screwed if you don't have these!

Great service- Luis was very friendly and very accommodating. The bike was great, very new but I felt if I had any issues Luis would be able to come and sort them out. Would highly recommend

In March 2018, we rented two moto bikes from El Gato moto rentals. First of all, the service was great. The motos were ready when we arrived, we payed a small deposit and got on the road. Everything went smooth, and we were even able to leave the most of our stuff in the shop (so we didn't have to carry our heavy backpacks on the bike). After a small introduction and test ride (we were not super experienced), we left with a small backpack and drove around the west coast and Isla de Ometepe for 8 days. The owners of the bikes were very friendly in communication, and they let us keep the bikes for as long as we wanted. When we really had to move on, we brought the bikes back (with a one day notice), and they were very excited about the trip we made. Sorry for the delay on the review guys, I know we promised to do it earlier! ;) good luck with the moto rentals, you did great! I would recommend this moto rental to everyone looking for a great adventure in Nicaragua! Simon and Koos

My buddy and I wanted to find an affordable trip where we could explore on motorcycles and El Gato is one of the main reasons we chose Nicaragua. We made up our minds when we learned they would meet us at the Managua airport with the bikes so we could immediately start travelling without dealing with any buses, taxis or waiting around. In 9 days we saw Managua, Granada, San Juan Del Sur, Ometepe, Laguna de Apoyo, and a lot more in between. The motorcycles gave us the freedom to move around at our own pace instead of relying on bus schedules or hostel shuttles. We were able to make any stops or detours we felt like, which allowed us to get off the beaten path. The bikes are in great shape and handled well on everything from highways to dirt roads to sand. We met the El Gato crew at the airport on our first and last days in Nicaragua. They are absolutely great and could not have been more helpful. If you’re a competent motorcycle rider, I completely recommended seeing Nicaragua this way and renting from El Gato.
