Rental Terms, Conditions & Indemnity

The hirer must be in possession of a valid motorcycle license, acceptable by South African authorities, for the duration of the rental term/period.

The hirer is covered by Scoot Dr’s public indemnity insurance for any harm you should cause, accrue or be caused to a 3rd (third) party. The hirer is NOT covered by Scoot Dr. insurance for any personal injury, theft or damage to our scooters, unless comprehensive insurance is taken when hiring the bike.
Scoot Dr. does not accept responsibility for any damages you may cause to your person/self or other vehicles.

The rental of each scooter is subject to the payment of a R5,000.00 deposit, either by credit card or cash, which is fully refundable on the return of the scooter and helmet(s) in the same condition (fair wear and tear excluded) as received by the hirer. Should cash or card not be available, Scoot Dr. will withhold the hirer’s international passport until the bike is returned in the same condition or the damages have been settled.

The hirer shall be responsible for any loss or damage incurred on the scooter, whether by accident or theft. This assessed loss shall be offset by any deposit held by Scoot Dr. under this agreement, and the balance shall be payable to the hirer on return of the scooter.
Should the hirer select Scoot Dr’s full comprehensive insurance, he/she will only be responsible for R1,500.00 as the first amount payable (excess) should any damage to the scooter be incurred.
The first amount payable (excess) is R2,500.00 in the case of theft or hi-jack.
(The scooter must be parked off street overnight for theft under Scoot Dr’s fully comprehensive insurance coverage.)

All daily rental charges exclude petrol. Scooters are delivered full and the hirer shall return the scooter full, inclusive the appropriate 2-stroke to petrol ratios where applicable. If the scooter is not filled on return, the hirer shall be charged R50.

The period of rental of this scooter shall be agreed upon on signature of this agreement and any late delivery will result in a charge of R25-00 per hour. There will be a lost key charge of R200 and a lost helmet charge of R700 inclusive of collection/delivery.

The hirer shall be held liable for all traffic fines that result from any transgression during the entire rental period mentioned and indemnify Scoot Doctor from any liability resulting there from.
Scoot Dr retains the right to debit the hirers credit card for any fines for traffic offenses received on behalf of the hirer.

Both the hirer and passenger (where applicable) shall at all times wear a helmet, which must be clipped on and firmly attached at all times, and agree to not operate the scooter under the influence of alcohol or any illegal or intoxicating substances of any nature.

Whilst operating the scooter the hirer agrees to not behave in any manner that would bring the name of Scoot Dr. into disrepute.

The hirer shall use the scooter entirely at his/her own risk and agrees that Scoot Dr., its employees, agents or associates shall not be responsible, liable or accountable and shall be rendered blameless for any loss, injury or death sustained as a result of the rental and use of the scooter during the rental period or any extension thereof. This is inclusive of whether the hirer elects to effect his/her tire change him/herself as per the instruction given as per the rental agreement.

Scoot Dr. shall not be responsible and shall be rendered blameless for any loss or damage to goods of any nature left or transported on the scooter.
The scooter will not be used commercially or for financial gain and shall be used purely for personal transportation.

The scooter must at all times be used for the purpose that it was manufactured and may not be used for racing or the conveyance of goods or animals or more than 2 persons inclusive of the driver.

The scooter shall not be used off-road and must be driven on asphalt/tar. The scooter shall not be driven further than a 100km radius from Scoot Dr premises; or further north than Melkbosstrand or further east than Paarl or further South of Strand. In the event of the scooter breaking down, the hirer agrees to remain with the scooter, until Scoot Dr. can arrange collection of the scooter.
