Motorcycle Rental Questions
How is the regulation of the deposit and the insurance?
The motorcycles have general liability insurance against personal injury, property damage and financial loss, with a deposit of 600 € per rented motorcycle or 400€ per rented scooter. The deposit must be paid by credit card. The amount will be reimbursed in full as soon as the motorcycle is returned undamaged, in the same condition to us.
What's the point of an full risks insurance?
In the normal daily motorcycle tariff is included the third party insurance. However this kind of insurance does not cover the produced damages on the motorcycle or on the gear if is your own fault. The optional full risk insurance covers the resulted costs over 1200€ (for the motorcycles) and 800€ (for the scooters).
