Complete Guide to Requirements and Regulations for Motorcycle Rental
Renting a motorcycle is simple, but it's essential to know the requirements and applicable regulations to avoid any issues. Here's what you need to know before you sign the contract.
1. Valid Driving Licence
You'll need a valid driving licence for the motorcycle category you wish to rent. Make sure your licence is recognised in the country or region where you are renting (an international licence if necessary).
2. Minimum Age and Experience
Most rental companies require a minimum age (e.g. 21 or 25 years old) and, in some cases, a minimum duration of having held the licence (e.g. 1 or 2 years).
3. Security Deposit
It's common to be asked for a security deposit, usually by credit card, which is returned at the end of the rental period if the motorcycle is in perfect condition.
4. Rental Agreement and Insurance
Read the rental agreement carefully and understand the included insurance coverage. Ask about additional insurance options that might protect you better in case of an accident or theft.
