Who is Planet Ride?

When you plan a motorcycle or 4x4 road trip, you think about landscapes, legendary roads, open spaces.

But a motorized adventure cannot be improvised.

You need the right itinerary. The right level of difficulty. The right local support. You need to understand insurance conditions, deposits, local regulations, mechanical constraints and real terrain challenges. And above all, you need someone you can rely on when the unexpected happens.

That is exactly why Planet Ride exists.

Since 2015, we have been helping riders organize motorized adventures around the world. Our role is simple: to help you live your road trip under the best possible conditions, with a clear framework, human guidance and solid organization.

A specialized motorized travel agency

Planet Ride is a French travel agency specialized in motorcycle, 4x4, quad, buggy and snowmobile adventures.

We work with a curated network of local experts across 5 continents and offer more than 150 carefully selected itineraries. Our goal is not to multiply destinations, but to recommend the right journeys — operated by professionals we have chosen for their experience, reliability and deep knowledge of their country.

They live the road every day. They adapt routes depending on skill level, season and group rhythm. Every trip is built in close collaboration with them to ensure clarity, consistency and accuracy.

You prepare your adventure with the Planet Ride team, and you are welcomed on site by one of our local experts. The mindset, the level of service and the follow-up remain consistent from the first conversation to your return home.

Why travel with Planet Ride?

Organizing a motorized road trip abroad may seem simple. In reality, many critical elements are not visible at first: real difficulty levels, proper insurance coverage, security deposits, immobilization risks, or regulatory differences between countries.

Over time, we have learned that the success of a road trip often depends on details.

Planet Ride is a registered French travel agency operating under French tourism regulations. This means secure payments, financial guarantees, professional insurance and legal protection.

Since 2015, more than 8,000 riders have trusted us. Our average Trustpilot rating is 4.6/5. These numbers reflect one thing: consistency in the way we support our travelers.

A strong motorcycle expertise

Around 70% of our activity focuses on motorcycle trips. Over the years, we have developed deep expertise in U.S. motorcycle road trips in particular.

Experience has shown us that the most frequent incidents are not high-speed accidents, but low-speed drops or stationary falls. Rental bikes are often heavier, differently balanced and more loaded than the ones riders use at home.

These realities matter.

That is why we take the time to speak with every rider before departure.

Concrete, human support

Before recommending a trip, we analyze your real riding experience, your budget, your travel style and your expectations.

Our objective is not to sell the most impressive itinerary. It is to recommend the one that truly fits you.

During the trip, we remain available if needed. After your return, we remain your contact.

This human connection is part of our DNA. A motorized road trip is often a major personal project — sometimes a lifelong dream. It deserves serious, attentive support.

Who is Planet Ride for?

Our riders have different profiles.

Some want to fulfill a dream such as Route 66 or remote African tracks. Others seek a meaningful break from daily life. Some want technical terrain and physical challenge.

What they share is a desire to experience the road fully — without improvisation.

In summary

Planet Ride represents more than 10 years of experience in motorized travel, over 150 curated itineraries, more than 20 local experts and 8,000 riders supported worldwide.

Between those who dream about the road and those who know it by heart, we build the bridge.

And we help you take your own.
