These insurances do not cover damage caused by the driver's negligence, namely driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, loss of vehicle keys, fuel mismatch and damage caused by negligent or intentional done to the motobike.

The liability value depends on the insurance bought.

In the standard insurance, €500 will be blocked plus a deposit of €150 for fuel and fines.

In the Zero Excess insurance, you will only be charged a deposit of €150 for fuel and fines.

The motorcycle must be delivered with a full tank of fuel. You must return it with the same fuel level you had when you picked it up (full tank), as shown by the original fuel gauge.

We advise the Customer to fill up the fuel tanks as close as possible of the return station on the same day of return and to keep the receipt to be presented to us.

If the Customer does not return the Vehicle with a full tank, and if he is unable to present the refueling receipt, a fee of €50 will be charged, as well as the value of the fuel, to cover the costs incurred with refueling the Vehicle.

The amount of fuel charged to the Customer will correspond to the fuel used, according to the level shown by the original fuel gauge, rounded to the nearest value of one eighth (1/8) of the tank. This value is based on the tank capacity indicated by the manufacturer.
