About us

Motor Renter is a locally owned car and motorbike rental business run by Stephen, a long-time Northern Rivers local based in Ocean Shores. With a lifelong passion for cars, motorbikes, and aircraft, Stephen brings a practical, safety-first mindset to everything he does.

The business has been operating in the Byron Bay region for years, offering straightforward, affordable rentals for locals and visitors who want the freedom to explore at their own pace. While the name Motor Renter reflects the full range of vehicles now available, the core of the business has always been the same: honest service, well-maintained vehicles, and dealing directly with the owner.

Motor Renter is proudly partnered with Carsburgs Petrol Station in Mullumbimby, where you’ll find our posters and information about our vehicles. All bookings and enquiries are handled directly with Stephen, so you get personal service every time. Vehicles are conveniently located across Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores, and Byron Bay, with flexible pickup and drop-off options depending on the vehicle.

Stephen is also a licensed pilot, a qualification that reflects a high standard of responsibility, good communication, and safety awareness. That same attention to detail carries through to how vehicles are maintained, how rentals are managed, and how customers are looked after. When you rent from Motor Renter, you’re dealing directly with someone who takes safety, reliability, and accountability seriously.

All vehicles are regularly checked and maintained to suit the conditions of Northern Rivers roads. While the region is beautiful, it can be hard on cars and motorbikes, so renters are encouraged to drive with care—watch for wildlife, potholes, and take extra caution in wet weather. Treat the vehicle with respect, and you’ll enjoy a smooth, stress-free rental.

Motor Renter keeps things simple, personal, and transparent—so you can focus on enjoying the road ahead. See you soon :)
