Yes. You have to pay a security deposit for the scooter. The deposit can only be paid by credit card. No charge will be made if no event occurs that requires it.

The deposit is € 150 for Standard model scooters, € 300 for Plus model scooters, € 750 for Premium model scooters and € 1500 for Collection model scooters. 

Yes. You can also drive all our scooters with one passenger. If you are two, you will need a second helmet, which requires an additional cost

No. It is forbidden to drive without wearing a helmet. Both the driver and the passenger must wear their own helmet, even if it is a 50cc.

You are fully covered by insurance in the event of damage caused by a third party. For damages caused to the scooter, or theft of the scooter, the insurance reduces the amount to be paid to a deductible, in case of compliance with the contractual rental agreements. We offer the possibility to purchase a deductible reduction for the insurance of your scooter.

The insurance, already included in the rental price, covers damage caused by third parties. In addition, roadside assistance within a specific area is also included. Damage to the scooter or theft of the scooter are covered by a deductible from € 500 to € 1800, depending on the type of scooter. All accessories ( helmets, top case, GPS, gloves, padlock, etc. ) are not covered by the insurance and are paid separately in the event of loss or damage.

Yes. However, please consider the disadvantages: the renter is not allowed to drive outside the city or on the highway with a 50cc scooter. With a 125cc or higher displacement, you are allowed to drive out of town within a limited area. Each individual shop has a specific coverage area for scooter insurance or roadside assistance - you are therefore not authorized to drive outside of this area.

Yes. You can purchase extra insurance which reduces the scooter's deductible in the event of damage and / or theft during online booking
