Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Can I book for a whole group and pay for everyone?
Yes. One person can submit the booking for the whole group and settle the payment for the trip. Participants’ details can be added later in the central MotoGadabout account.
Does the price include flights?
Usually not — we help you choose a flight so that everyone meets on location at roughly the same time. Full details are always in the “What’s included / not included” section.
What if I’m travelling alone?
Most participants come on their own or in pairs. We’ll help you find a room-mate, and if you’d prefer a single room, just ask about the supplement.
