Perfect! - I'm so glad I did this! Rather than expensive cab rides across town to see everything I wanted to see, I took advantage of the nice weather and Orange Bike's very reasonable prices to rent a bike. The communication was great (WhatsApp messaging in English or Spanish), the bike was clearly used but indestructible on the sometimes-rough roads and sidewalks (and I'm confident that had I experienced an issue, I would have gotten an immediate response from the company). I had the freedom to explore any part of Montevideo that I wanted. A lock was supplied so I wasn't worried about theft. Plus, my hotel had clearly worked with them before and stored the bike in their garage overnight for me. Overall, the best way to get the most out of your time in Montevideo.

5 Star plus Service - We had the best experience with them.
Texted them, that we need 2 bikes, 1/2 later they got delivered to our Airbnb, easy payment options, super nice people.
Next day we called them again, they came and picked them up, everything smooth and very professional.
Highly recommended and so much fun exploring the city and biking along the promenade.
Perfect experience …. Thanks … Carsten

Highly recommended activity in Montevideo: Renting a bike - Should you ever visit the capital of Uruguay on a cruise, I highly recommend renting a bike from Orange Bike. They are within minutes walking distance from the cruise port, have excellent bikes to rent (by European standards) for very reasonable rates. On top the lady who runs the shop is exceptionally helpful and friendly.
Montevideo is generally a bike-friendly city with wide boardwalks and bike lanes.

Great bike hire - I wanted to hire bikes for myself and young kids (6 &9yrs) and the staff at Orange bike hire spoke English and had a variety of bike options to suit.
We hired good quality bikes, and a bike trailor for my youngest, bike locks and instructions for getting around or emergency help (flat tyres etc).
We had a great day riding along the Rambla, stopping for lunch at Pocitos then coming back again. Safe easy riding with younger kids.

Very nice staff at the bike rental - great experience with the bike rental. We rented 2 bicycles for the whole day. They even allowed us, to leave the bicycles at our hotel, so they can collect them form there. They also have a help number and in any bar or restaurant they can help with the phone call, in case of a problem with the bike.

Lovely Time Enjoying the Fresh Air and Biking around Montevideo. - The bike rack was quick & easy to find, but it was not at first clear who was responsible for it. Once we went into the shop near it, we found the man responsible and everything went smoothly. Back tire on one of our bikes was low and we had to add air at a gas station. Also, the seat kept falling down until we figured out how to tighten it better. Chain came off once as well. No major issues, just small annoyances. Enjoyed 3 1/2 hours of lovely biking along the ocean as well as through town. Good bike locks. Owner was very friendly.

Good bike rental in Montevideo - Super easy to rent bikes from Orange Bike. They delivered to our place on time and the next day found where we had locked them and took them away without even bothering us! (They let us know, of course.) Terrific value for the price ($15 CAD for 24 hours). We recommend this service highly.
The bikes are not really well-maintained, however. Eg: chains haven't been oiled in a long time; all gears not always functioning. One of our bikes was making loud noises, so we contacted the company and they directed us to an Orange Bike depot that was luckily nearby. So try the bike out before you take it away.
Highly recommended to bike the Rambla! We went from la Ciudad Vieja to Malvin Beach in about an hour and a half, mostly flat and well maintained bike path the whole way.

Cheap and cheerful - Bikes were not great - one had handlebars that were out of alignment making it an uncomfortable experience to ride. Bikes were not clean and we did not get any helmets.
Friendly service though, and easy to organise.

Poor quality bikes - Ship arrived late and guide waited but it cut the tour short. Bikes are in disrepair and no helmets provided. Seats were deteriorated, gears didn’t work, and no brakes, only manual brakes by using pedals, which is scary on hills. Guide rode extremely slow through crowded streets which made it difficult to steer and navigate. Unsure why they would take you through crowded pedestrian streets. Unfortunately, cannot recommend.
