Rental terms at a glance
Know before you ride.
These website terms are a plain-language booking summary. The signed quotation, condition report, insurance schedule, indemnity and full rental agreement govern the final booking.
Rider eligibility and documents
Riders must be at least 21 for the listed fleet, hold a valid unrestricted motorcycle licence or accepted foreign equivalent, provide the required passport or identity document, and have at least two years of active riding experience. A specific motorcycle may carry additional requirements.
Rates, deposits and payment
Rates are per calendar day in rand. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorised before handover. No booking is confirmed until written confirmation, required documents and payment are accepted.
Mileage, fuel and late return
Rentals of 1-6 days include 300 km per day. Excess is R6.50 per kilometre. Rentals of 7 days or longer include unlimited kilometres, subject to the agreement. Fuel is full-to-full and a R250 refuelling service fee applies when required.
Permitted use and cross-border travel

Cover, excess reduction and exclusions depend on the signed option and insurer terms. Incidents must be reported immediately, and police and insurer procedures must be followed.
