Abbreviated terms for motorcycle hire.

Abbreviated terms and conditions for motorcycle hire.

Full Terms & Conditions will be presented at time of hire and may vary with hirer, place of hire, make and model of bike etc.

  • All riders must hold a full motorcycle license. We reserve the right to refuse hire for any reason.
  • We do not hire motorcycles for use in any competition, rally, trial, track day, motocross, enduro events, performance test etc.
  • Hires must provide their full driving licence and held it for at least 24 months for smaller displacement bikes and 36 months for larger machines or if carrying a pillion. In all instances the rider must have recent experience riding a similar powered motorcycle.
  • Solo riders must be aged over 25 and under 75.
  • Riders carrying a pillion must be aged over 35 and under 70.
  • Riders with licenses issued in UK and EU will be accountable for an insurance excess up to £2000.
  • Riders with licenses issued in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA will be accountable for an insurance excess up to £2500.
  • Riders holding a license issued by any other country will be accessed individually and must be pre-approved by our insurer.
  • A full driving licence and additional proof of identity will be needed. Foreign nationals will be required to provide passport and evidence of where they are staying whilst in the UK.
  • All driving offences must be declared prior to rental. Some offences may be unacceptable with our insurers, if in doubt please check at time of booking and if added between booking and time of hire double check. Failure to advise us in advance may result in the refusal to hire.
  • Hirers must ensure they have requested the correct dates, pick up and drop off times at the time of reservation because although we will do our best to help if you have made an error we cannot accept responsibility if your preferred bike is not available at the amended date or time.
  • For hires of one to three days duration payment in full is required at the time of booking. The total amount paid will be forfeit in the event of cancellation.
  • For hires of four or more days duration a reservation fee of at least the first three days hire charge per motorcycle will be taken at time of booking. The fee is deducted from the total hire cost but in the event of cancellation may be forfeit (see cancellation terms below).
  • The minimum hire is one day (24 hours) but hirers may uplift and return it at any time during opening hours. If the motorcycle is not collected and returned during regular business hours a discretionary fee may be added.
  • All motorcycles are offered for hire with comprehensive insurance. Terms may vary from bike to bike and rider to rider.
  • In the event of an accident or rider error, e.g. lost keys, wrong fuel etc., our breakdown cover will assist you; however, you will be responsible and charged accordingly for repairs, loss, damage, relay and recovery.
  • A security deposit of between £2000.00 and £2500.00 (depending on license) is required. The deposit will be refunded when vehicle is returned undamaged. Payment is taken via pre-payment authorisation against a debit or credit card. These funds are reserved by your bank in case of any damage, theft or charges incurred whilst the bike is in your possession including extended rental periods, damage, late charges, fuel refills, mileage fees, punctures or unpaid penalty charges.
  • In the event of an accident during your hire, should the motorbike become unusable, we cannot guarantee to offer replacement, and no refund will be granted on the remaining period of rent.
  • If bikes are returned dirty, a full inspection cannot be made until the bike has been cleaned. It may not be possible to immediately clean the bike or while you wait.
  • A complete set of terms and conditions specific to each hire will be presented to each hirer in advance of the hire. These terms may impose different conditions to those outlined above and should be read fully before acceptance.

Abbreviated Cancellation Terms

  • Should our insurer decline cover or imposes restrictions to the terms and conditions the hirer cannot accept, then the rental will be cancelled and any deposit paid will be returned in full.
  • Unless agreed in writing to the contrary the following sums will be deducted in the event of cancellation:
    Hires on one to three days duration - 100% of the amount paid 
    Hires of four or more days - the equivalent cost of a three day hire will be the minimum charged rising to 100% of the total cost if cancelled less than 28 days prior to the hire.
  • Full cancellation terms will be stated in each riders personalised hire agreement.
