Am I Guaranteed to have the bike I reserved?
House of Motorrad reserves the right to substitute the motorcycle confirmed to rental Client. Unfortunately, at times, certain unexpected and uncontrollable situations arise which may require the substitution of a motorcycle. This includes, but is not limited to, delay in manufacture fleet delivery, mechanical failure, collision damage and theft. Should House of Motorrad not be able to provide the confirmed motorcycle, a similar or better model will be provided to the Client if at all possible. This constitutes the maximum liability of House of Motorrad.
What happens if I damage a motorcycle?
Your security deposit will be captured and the bike will be thoroughly examined to assess any safety risks/damages. During the time that the motorcycle is being examined and repaired your security deposit will be held to cover the costs of labor @ $95/hour, parts and lost rental fees while the motorcycle is out of the rental fleet. You will be responsible for all costs up to the $1500 security deposit/insurance deductible. You are not entitled to, nor will we give you any of the damaged parts. However, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company to cover some of your costs. It is unlikely that any of the security deposit will be refunded due to the intensive safety inspection process after all damages, but in some rare instances we will return a portion of the deposit if it is not required to cover the costs incurred to House of Motorrad as a result of the damages.
What is considered damage to a motorcycle?
Any portion or part of the motorcycle or its accessories that are scratched, cracked, bent, broken, dented, or missing will be repaired or replaced at House of Motorrad’s sole discretion, and the funds will be retained from the damage deposit to cover any costs associated with the repair or replacement. If you drop it or crash it we will charge you to fix the damage.

What do I need to reserve a motorcycle?
You will need to pay a deposit, $50 per motorcycle, per day of rental requested, at the time of reservation. This is refundable unless the rental request is cancelled within 7 days prior to the rental period, at which time your deposit is forfeit. Cancellation within 30 days of your reservation forfeits 50% of the deposit.

Rentals and insurance are based on a 24 hour day. The minimum rental is 24 hours, but we can pick it up early in some circumstances.
