Where to pickup – FREE HOTEL DELIVERY
We are offering FREE hotel delivery to central Tucson area hotels and resorts. This would even include JW Marriott, Hotel McCoy Double Tree Hotel as well as any and all hotels in Oro Valley or Northwest Tucson, including Westword Look Resort, La Paloma. Let me know if you want hotel delivery. We do NOT deliver to Ritz Carlton for security reasons.
WE DO NOT drop off to any low-end hotels on Stone Avenue or any dumpster hotels that we deem a security risk.
Central Tucson Pickup
You can pickup your bike at our central Tucson Loop locker location on the 4500 Block of N. First Avenue as early as 6 AM day of pickup or night before as long as the bike is in stock.
SPECIAL NOTE: There is construction scheduled at this location and you MAY HAVE to pickup the bike at our NW Tucson Loop locker location on the 12000 block of N. First Avenue. We will be keeping you posted on this via text. We apologize for any inconvenience. I will be staying in close contact with you via text.
Procedure:
Text me your photo ID to: 520-260-8293
OR you may use our secure server upload at tucsonbicyclerentals.com/upload
We then provide you with entry code to the storage locker facility and combination to the unit. Your bike will be located with your name on it, with a full saddle repair kit and self service helmet selection. MAKE SURE to take the bike with your name on it! We HIGHLY recommend you bring your own helmet.
After you send over your photo ID, I will be texting your your locker information including an explainer video or link to guide you in and out of the storage facility. We are going to be sending out the information probably a day before because of our central storage construction situation.
When texting me state your complete name on the reservation. (If you are Canadian, please WhatsAPP us or download a free app for free texting so you do not incur charges),
