Insurance
All motorcycle rentals and tours include full comprehensive insurance cover.
INSURANCE OPTION 1: Standard Excess. The hirer is automatically covered, as part of the daily hire charge, with a comprehensive insurance cover. The hirer accepts the insurance cover, details of which are set out in clause 10 of the rental agreement, and the hirer acknowledges that he/she is aware of all the exclusions detailed in clause 10 of the agreement. The hirer further acknowledges that he/she is liable in respect of the first NZ$3,000-00...of damage or loss referred to in the Insurance cover specified in clause 10 of this agreement.
1. A standard excess of $3,000.00 applied in the event of any damage to either the motorcycle, any accessories or third party property on motorcycles over 250cc. For motorcycles up to 250cc a $2000.00 excess applies.
2. A security bond of commensurate to the excess is taken by way of credit card payment on the day you hire the motorcycle for hires in excess of (7) seven days. For hires under (7) days a hold only is placed on your credit card. Please ensure your credit card is able to accommodate this transaction.
3. The security bond is refunded at the end of the hire period providing the motorcycle and accessories are returned undamaged, intact and there has been no damage or loss to any third party. The security bond is also held to cover minor items such as, bike locks, keys & any top-up fuel where the motorcycle is returned with less than a full tank. The owner will refund the amount of the bond less any deductions for damage and or additional costs within (5) working days from the end of the hire period to a nominated bank account (less any bank charges) or credit card.
4. Any international currency fluctuations or bank charges occurring within the bond period are not the responsibility of the owner. There are no currency fluctuations on the credit card hold.
5. If the motorcycle, accessories or any third party has suffered damage or loss the owner will make an assessment of the monetary value of such damage or loss and, under advice to the hirer, will deduct this value from the security bond.
6. Therefore the hirer’s maximum liability is capped at a maximum of $3,000.00.
There are two further options for reducing the standard excess and security bond for hires over 7 days.
INSURANCE OPTION 2: Reduces excess & security bond to $2,000.00 for an addiional $25.00 per day. - Available for hires over 7 days duration.

Medical Insurance: Under New Zealand law you cannot be sued for personal injury or death. ACC (Accident Compensation Commission) prevents claims for bodily injury or death by accident. However, we have public liability cover for NZ$1,000,000 for damage to personal property and injury as a result of an accident on our motorcycles. For any motor vehicle accident in New Zealand our customers are covered by ACC (Accident Compensation Commission), for medical treatment as a result of that vehicle accident. If however you want the peace of mind of having private care then you will need to arrange your own travel and personal insurance.
