What to Do if I Have an Accident?

Your liability for damages caused to the scooter will depend on the type of coverage you have selected. Based on the conditions established under the chosen coverage, you will be financially responsible for damages caused to the vehicle.
Until the scooter is returned, you are responsible for the vehicle's safekeeping.

What Happens if the Scooter is Stolen?

If the vehicle is stolen, the correct procedure is to first call the local police and then the rental station, providing them with the report of the loss of keys or theft of the vehicle that you filed with the police.
Your financial liability will be determined by the coverages you chose at the time of rental.
To prevent theft, we recommend checking the possibility of parking the scooter in a safe or guarded place overnight.

In the event that the helmet is lost or not returned to the office, a fixed cost of €75 will be charged – damaged/scratched visor €35 – Scratched/damaged helmet €30 and deducted from the deposit you paid.

What Happens if I Return the Vehicle Late?

In case of delay in picking up the scooter, the customer is required to notify our office. In case of delay in returning, as the vehicle must be prepared for the next customers, vehicles must be returned to the rental company at the agreed time and place. In case of delay exceeding 60 minutes, an additional day's rental fee will be charged.

Will I be Refunded the Rental Cost if I Return the Vehicle Early?

Other foreign licences (e.g. those issued in the USA, Canada or Australia) require an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official Italian translation (prepared by a sworn translator or the issuing country's embassy/consulate).

Important: provisional licences (temporary permits, pink slips) are not accepted under any circumstances. Always carry a valid identity document alongside your licence.
