Renting a bike in Baku

Channel
Heading to Azerbaijan next month and I want to explore the Caucasus foothills on two wheels instead of being stuck in a taxi. Is it easy to rent a decent bike around Baku and what kind of paperwork do they typically ask for besides a license?

Baku has a small but growing moto scene and you can find everything from city scooters to enduro bikes if you know where to look. An international driving permit with a motorcycle endorsement is a must, and most rental shops will ask for a cash deposit in manat rather than just blocking your card. To browse motorcycle rental in AZ with upfront pricing and online booking you can check this site https://getrentacar.com/en-US/motorcycle-rental/azerbaijan .

Pack a proper riding jacket with armor, locals drive with enthusiasm and the mountain roads have loose gravel sections that will send you sliding if you are just wearing a t-shirt and sneakers.
