| Insurance is included
in the rental cost for all motorcycles - with
the exception of a few far east countries where
they hold your passport to ensure you return the
motorcycle as no insurance is available in those
places. |
| What is covered ? |
| The insurance will
cover 3rd party liability (damage to people or
property) up to a level set by each particular
countries governing body and damage or theft of
the motorcycle. |
| Your liability is set
by way of a damage/theft deposit which is
usually the insurance excess amount. You pay or
sign a credit card authorisation for this
deposit when you collect the motorcycle and it
is returned or cancelled when you return the
motorcycle. The amount of the deposit depends on
the rental office and type of motorcycle and
will be clearly stated with any quote for
rental. If the motorcycle is damaged, the cost
of repair is charged to the deposit and any
amount left over is returned to you. If the cost
of repair is above the deposit level, then the
insurer pays the difference. |
| Exceptions |
| A few rental offices
will charge a deposit and only offer 3rd party
insurance - in those cases you are liable for
the full cost of repairs up to the full value of
the motorcycle if it is written off as
unrepairable - they will also offer a full
insurance option instead of waiver options |
| Waiver Insurance |
| Most offices offer
waiver options to reduce the amount of liability
and or deposit level - these waivers are usually
charged per rental day and you then pay a
deposit which is the maximum liability to you
against damage or loss. |
