Download Guide for International Drivers by NSW Roads & Transport Authority

VERY IMPORTANT - Often many overseas banks automatically prevent large credit card transactions being processed as a way to safe guard against possible fraud. To minimise any hold up when collecting your motorcycle, please inform your credit card provider of your trip and that large amounts may be processed on occasions. If you have any questions about this - please contact us in advance for advice.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
Security bond amounts will vary depending on the bike you rent.   The amount is listed against each bike on the price list.  Rentals of less than 7 days (excluding one way relocations) are processed as a pre-authorisation against a credit card.  If the rental is 7 days or more, then the deposit/bond is processed on a credit card and refunded upon safe return of the bike undamaged.  Please note that we are not responsible for any exchange rate fluctuations or other fees your bank may charge when refunding the deposit/bond. Also note that some banks take a few days to put the funds back into your account. It is your bank that dictates the length of time this takes not the refunding bank.

PRICELIST TERMS EXPLAINED
Full Weekend = 4pm Friday to 10am Monday.
Bond = security payment held until return of undamaged bike, must be paid by RENTER'S credit card.
Excess = non-reducible insurance deductible. See INSURANCE below.

INSURANCE
Breach of rental contract terms voids ALL insurance and the renter is liable for ALL damage. You also have the option for AU$20 per day (for rentals over 7 days) to reduce the insurance excess amount as shown above to 50% of the standard excess amount. This is not available to riders on their learner or provisional permits.

Insurance DOES NOT cover
- rider for bodily injury or damage/loss of personal belongings. Supplementary travel insurance is advised.
- loss of rental caused by extensive damage to the motorcycle rendering it unavailable for hire.
Comprehensive cover includes: damage to and/or theft of motorcycle; third party injury; and third party property. Renter is liable for excess amount.

CANCELLATIONS
In the event of a cancellation the following fees apply...
- Over 21 days prior to the start date - 20% of the total fee
- 7-20 days prior to the start date - 50% of the total fee
- 2-6 days prior to the start date - 80% of the total fee
- 48 hours or less - 100% of the total fee

To protect your booking deposit you can purchase a booking insurance.

BOOKING INSURANCE
We provide booking insurance so that you can transfer your booking to another date, not more than 30 days from the original booking date, without losing your booking fee. This can be for any reason eg. bad weather, sickness or just if you do not feel like riding on that date.
Terms and conditions are:
- price of insurance is 10% of the total rental price (minimum of $20).
- insurance is due in advance when the booking is made and deposit paid.
- insurance can only be used once.

ONE WAY AND EXTENDED RENTALS
You can drop off your motorcycle at any city and simply pay the freight costs of shipping the bike back to the depot. One way fees Brisbane or Melbourne are $220.00 (7 day minumum rental), Cairns is AU495 (10 day minimum rental), Perth is AU$495 (15 day minimum rental) assuming 90 days notice. Please ask for costs if your planned dates are less than 90 days away.

If you are hiring a bike for a long period and expect to travel a long way then you must agree to have the bike serviced somewhere along the way. We will help you plan and arrange for this. In addition we will replace tyres that are fully worn (we will agree upfront with you on the life of the tyre before you leave our depot) and provided you contact us before replacing the tyres and you can provide us with receipts and documentation from the tyre provider, this should be covered by Bikescape.

NOT INCLUDED IN OUR PRICES
Parking tickets, speeding fines and other penalties. A $50 fee may be imposed for the handling of unpaid fines.
Fuel (except on guided tours). A $30 charge applies to motorcycles returned without a full tank.
Car parking.
Road tolls - please review important toll information

PERSONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE:
It is vital that you have appropriate travel insurance, which offers cover while motorcycling. Bikescape, its Agents, Assigns and Contractors accept no responsibility for a customer's failure to arrange appropriate cover. Please also note that cover is often void if a helmet is not being worn. We strongly recommend you cover yourself with travel insurance in case of accident and to ensure that if your personal circumstances change and you have to cancel your costs are covered.

HELMETS:
It is a condition that you wear an approved crash helmet at all times when riding your motorcycle. Bikescape strongly encourages you to bring your own helmet for comfort reasons, however we do supply compliant helmets should you choose not to bring your own.

MECHANCIAL DIFFICULTIES / ACCIDENT;
In the event of mechanical breakdown or accident, report this to the emergency number issued to you by the depot. Do not undertake repairs without the prior agreement of the depot. In the event of an accident (or theft), always report it to the police immediately, obtain a police report number, and notify the depot. The depot will make every effort to provide repair facilities or a replacement motorcycle, but is not obliged to do so.

Where a motorcycle has been crashed and is not able to be ridden any further, Bikescape, its Agents, Assigns and Contractors are under no obligation to replace or supply another motorcycle for the completion of the journey and no compensation can be claimed by the hirer for the unused portion of the hire period.

OUTBACK TRAVEL:
Outback travel on remote gravel roads can be extremely dangerous unless you are well prepared and know how to deal with difficult situations. Every year tourists find themselves in trouble and some even die due to lack of preparation and knowledge. If you intend to ride on remote gravel roads then you MUST inform us of your plans.

Bikescape forbid their bikes to be riden on the following roads; Savannah Way, Plenty Highway, Great Central Road, Gunbarrel Highway, Gibb River Road, Tanamai Track, Oodnadatta Highway, Birdsville Track, Canning Stock Route and any Cape York track. This list is not exclusive - if you have any questions please consult us for clarification. Should your bike break down for ANY reason on unsealed roads then you will be responsible for all recovery costs. Motorcycle insurance does not cover this travel and/or any damage to the motorcycle or other vehicles. Please request authority before taking bikes on unsealed roads. This is for your own protection as unnecessary deaths happen every year.

INDEMNITY RELEASE:
By booking a rental, self guided tour or guided tour you agree that you understand and agree to the indemnity release detailed below which is between you (and any passengers) and T&S Thurbon Pty Ltd T/A Bikescape, it's directors, employees or agents (hereafter called The Company).

You must agree that you shall participate entirely at your own risk and that you, your successors, executors and administrators will release, indemnify and not instigate any claim, demand or expense against The Company for any personal injury, loss of life or damage to personal property suffered during or subsequent to events on the rental or tour.

You must acknowledge that any road whether sealed or unsealed, or any other venue upon which you travel, may have sandy or rocky surfaces with defects either hidden or exposed as is the nature of some roads.

You must agree to obey and observe all rules and directions given during a tour, whether given in writing or verbally by The Company and that The Company has the right to exclude you from any tour for non-adherence to any rule or direction given.

You must accept that you are permitted to rent a motorcycle or take part in a tour on condition that you ride safely with due care and regard for other people and property.

You must acknowledge that motorcycle riding, whether as a rider or passenger, can be dangerous and that a motorcycle rental or participation in a tour organised and promoted by The Company may expose you to the possibility of injury or death and further, you must acknowledge that the way other people may ride, drive or act is outside the control of The Company.

You must acknowledge that there may be no, or inadequate facilities for treatment or transport of participants if participants are injured. You agree that you understand that travel insurance to cover all forms of personal injury, repatriation or costs in the event of death is essential and it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate cover.

You agree to wear appropriate motorcycle safety equipment at all times and that you are medically fit to undertake a motorcycle rental or tour.

You must agree that you have read and understood the indemnity release and agree that the motorcycle rental or participation in a tour whether guided or self guided is entirely at your own risk.
