OUR TEAM

RetroVentures is run by husband and wife team Chris and Elaine Davidson. Originally from Kent in the southeast of England, they settled in Elaine's native southwest Ireland in 2002. They established RetroVentures in 2006.


We are a family run business located in a beautiful rural location in Co. Limerick at the gateway to the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland's stunning west coast. You will not get a more personable service and we are thoroughly committed to providing the best experience possible for our clients and the best quality motorcycle rentals, sidecar rentals, scooter rentals, campervan rentals, e-bike and bicycle rentals for hire in Ireland.

WHAT WE DO

Essentially we do EVERYTHING! Elaine, Chris and Bill that is.


We build our own website and carry out all our own advertising. We attend trade shows, exhibitions, charity runs and promotional shoots.


We administer all correspondence and we answer your emails and form enquiries personally. We plan your rentals and tours with passion and meticulous detail. We visit and assess attractions and accommodations to stamp our own seal of approval. We prepare the bikes, campervans and bicycles for rental. We prepare the riding gear and accessories.


We carry out all maintenance on our vehicles....everything. We test drive and test ride every vehicle before it goes out and we will only let a vehicle go if we are completely happy with it.


At the end of the day...we are exhausted!!! But we love the business and our customers and we wouldn't change it for the world.

WHAT WE CAN'T DO

Whilst we have pretty good control over all our own actions, we simply can't.....anticipate or guarantee the weather, provide a remedy for avoiding punctures, anticipate a hidden mechanical or electrical failure, or account for the failure of third party suppliers. We will however do everything in our power to put things right and make your rental or tour as idyllic as you anticipated or expect should things go a little wonky.

WHAT WE KINDLY ASK OF OUR CUSTOMERS

First of all please bear with us if we are a little delayed responding to your enquiries. Please remember you are dealing with a cottage industry (albeit a very experienced, professional and dedicated cottage industry) in the scenic south west of Ireland - we are not a multi-national. Occasionally things can go a little off-piste. So dedicated are we that we actually cry when things don't go as planned! So please don't be grumpy with us.


Also please remember, any vehicle (old or new) can give up the ghost at any time.


Thank you!
