SECURITY DEPOSIT

As part of your hire agreement, you need to provide security in the form of a deposit to cover loss and/or damage of the goods being hired.
We offer the option to pay a non-refundable damage waiver fee in place of leaving a security deposit which would waiver our claim for minor mechanical damages
You needn't make your final decision until your collect, but you can do so at any point prior to collection.

SECURITY DEPOSIT:

Before your bikes are collected, we will pre-authorise a deposit on your credit/debit card covering a proportion of the value of the hired items, as security until the items are returned in good condition. NB Please bring a credit / debit card with sufficient funds available to cover this total. We reserve the right to refuse the refund of your reservation fee, in the event of a declined deposit.


DAMAGE WAIVER:
By purchasing a damage waiver, BIKETRAX agree to waiver our claims for minor mechanical damages incurred during your hire, totalling up to 50% of the security deposit total value above. Full terms and conditions are overleaf. This waiver takes the place of a security deposit, and is non-refundable.

You acknowledge that no refund will be issued for unused hire time.

You accept complete responsibility during the period of hire for the safe custody of the equipment and for any loss, theft or damage (howsoever caused), and you accept that the bike and equipment has been provided in good mechanical condition.

Pay a pre-authorised deposit before hire commences which shall be refunded upon return of the equipment subject to the following terms. The deposit is to be held against any loss, theft, damage or failure to return the equipment by the specified time and date.
