The rental agreement
Before the start of the rental period, the owner should print the rental agreement. When collecting and returning the motorbike, both parties must sign this document. After signing, the owner can hand over the keys to the motorbike. The owner always keeps the signed rental agreement. This is important in case of emergencies.
Rental agreement between owner and renter
Renters can send multiple rental requests without obligation, with a maximum of three. An owner must then indicate within 24 hours whether he/she accepts the request. If a rental request is accepted, the tenant has 36 hours to pay the rent. A rental agreement is formed, the moment the owner accepts an application and the tenant pays the price of the rent. A completed rental agreement then automatically becomes available in the owner and tenant's personal dashboard. A rental agreement consists of two parts:
- The details of the rental agreement
- A motor transfer form
A renter can cancel the rental agreement up to 72 hours before the start of the rental period. If cancelled in time, Motoshare will return the rental fee by giving a voucher with rental credit. The voucher is valid for one year and can be used by the renter to conclude a new rental agreement. The owner can cancel the rental until the moment of handover of the bike. In this case, the renter will be refunded the full rental price.
Up to 1 hour before the end of the rental period, the parties can extend the rental agreement. The extension must be done in the same way as how a rental agreement is established. So the tenant must submit a new rental request and the owner must accept this extension.
Obligations under the rental agreement
MotoShare does not check whether a motorbike is safe. The owner and renter are therefore responsible for checking the motorbike for safety themselves. If a motorbike does not meet the safety requirements, the owner may not rent it out.
At the start, the owner should make a final check by checking the renter's driving licence and identity card or passport. If the driving licence number, category, name or date of birth do not match the details filled in on the rental agreement (part 1.), the owner may not hand over the motorbike.
During the rental period, the renter is responsible for fines or traffic violations. If the owner receives fines, the owner and renter will have to try to resolve the fine between themselves. In some cases, the owner can administratively shift the fines onto the renter. In these cases, as the owner, you will need the signed rental agreement for this to prove that the bike was rented out during the period. The owner can also ask MotoShare to act as an intermediary to resolve this situation.
If the renter does not return the motorbike on time, it will have to continue paying the owner the rental price per day and pay a fine of €15 per day to MotoShare.
