America – A world in one country and a riding experience like no other. From the Florida Keys to the Million Dollar Highway, from Fall in New England to high summer the Mojave Desert, America has it all. Leave the big cities like Washington DC, Los Angeles, Denver or Las Vegas and within 50 miles you will be on empty roads with stunning scenery. The pioneer spirit kicks in, and you feel master / mistress of all you survey….

There’s so much to see, it’s hard to know where to start. Have a read through our tour itineraries, check out our rental locations, and take it from there. And if in doubt, do call us, we’ll be happy to advise you.

H-C Travel has been offering motorcycle tours and hire in the USA since 1994, and we have steadily improved and developed our range of tours and bike hire every year. We all like to make choices when going on holiday, and at H-C Travel we offer you that choice. We offer the lowest available prices, the widest range of motorcycles and the largest number of destinations. We have unmatched expertise in the motorcycles and in the country. And our membership of the US government’s Visit USA association of tour operators and trade organisations allows us access to information and resources normally beyond the reach of a small company.

And, as in previous years, we are pleased to be able to offer you a wide range of tours, motorcycles and rental locations, to suit your preferences. (And if you still can't find what you want here, we will be happy to advise you further.)

Why tour the USA?

Well, there are probably as many answers to that as there are states in the Union! There are so many riding experiences and so many iconic places from films, TV and music to visit that it is impossible to know where to start. And there’s an awful lot more besides – often the best memories are of the unexpected, the people you meet, the small towns, the out of the way sights, the great sweeping backroads, the panoramic vistas. But here goes with a few practical reasons:

• Our most popular fly-ride destination in the World
• You’re sure of a great welcome everywhere
• Whatever scenery you want, we can probably find it for you
• Great value for money
• You need to be ‘in’ the ‘great outdoors’ – on a motorcycle – to experience the’ great outdoors’
• Is it that ‘Harley thing’?
• If you think somewhere looks good on the small or the big screen, wait till you see it in real life
• If you don’t know by now we will probably never be able to persuade you! But trust us, riding a motorcycle in the USA is even better than you think ....

Some notes for guidance

Pricing - The pricing of motorcycle hire and tours can be confusing, and most companies offering motorcycle hire do not fully explain optional and compulsory additional charges. So, to help you, H-C Travel pioneered all-inclusive rates for motorcycle hire, just as you can get for car hire. This is explained more fully on our rental pages, and for each tour we show what is and isn’t included. We hope this simplified approach will help you when making your reservation, but if you have any doubts, please call. Any costs additional to a tour price will be given with the itinerary information. By doing this, it does make our information a little more complicated to use, but we believe it is important to explain to you just what you do or don't get for your money - insurance cover, local taxes, mileage charges, etc. If you think you’ve got a much better deal elsewhere, trust us, you haven’t!

Custom Tours - These can also be arranged on request. This is particularly useful for small groups or clubs wishing to tour with specific destinations in mind, and has proven very successful. We offer a number of tried and tested itineraries, or will put together itineraries taking into account your group's specific requests. Our experience is extensive and our advice is free! All of our guided tours can be requested for groups of 10 or more riders on dates to suit YOU (provided they don't clash with our published dates).

Flights and Accommodation - To complete your plans and to help you enjoy your holiday, we can also arrange your flights and any accommodation for you. We offer competitive flight prices on just about any airline you can think of (and probably a few you haven't thought of), from any UK airport. And for your accommodation needs, choose from our wide choice of motels and hotels across the continent. Or if you prefer, you can go camping with KOA and experience the outdoor life to the full. Whatever you want, we will be happy to discuss your needs.

Shipping - H-C Travel is able to arrange both air- and sea-freight for motorcycles to and from North America. This is intended for those wishing to tour for longer periods of say over a month, or for groups wanting to attend rallies, etc. We can also arrange motorcycle insurance for your bike while in North America. Airfreight is currently only practical and cost-effective in and out of Canada. Please see the relevant web pages for further information.

Finally, a note on personal travel insurance. Although all of our motorcycles come fully insured, you will still need personal travel insurance. We have our own travel insurance policy, designed by us for our customers. Crucially, our travel insurance policies include cover, notably medical cover, in the event of a motorcycle accident. Many widely available policies in the UK do not offer this cover, and specifically exclude motorcycling, so if you already have travel insurance, we do insist that you check with your insurer that you are covered in the unhappy event of an accident. In addition, our policy uniquely includes an additional section covering damage and theft of motorcycle clothing and helmets. H-C Travel is approved by the FSA.

As you might expect from the UK's only licensed North American motorcycle tour operator, H-C Travel offers you more for your money!
