BOOKING - Terms & Conditions

Area of Use

Only authorized riders that are on the rental contract must only use the motorcycle on sealed roads (no off-road riding or dirt roads).

Travel on beaches or through water streams, dams, rivers or flood waters is prohibited at all times. Please Remeber: “If it’s flooded, Forget it.”

Travel with the rental motorcycles is only permitted within our hire radius spanning as far north as Cape Tribulation & Daintree, as far South as Mission Beach, and as far inland as Herberton. This includes the waterfall circuit, the Atherton Tablelands, Mareeba, Yungaburra, Cathedral Fig Tree, Milla Milla, Malanda, Tarzali, Innisfail, Babinda, The Northern Beaches, Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge.

Motorcycle rentals allow 300KM free per day and if exceeded it is .50c per kilometer after that.

Liability

It is sometimes difficult for customers to understand the possible liability they will incur if they have an accident on a rental motorcycle. Motorbike rental ‘insurance’ is in fact very different to the insurance purchased for privately owned vehicles and those excesses are much higher. Chopper’s Motorcycles provides the following options to reduce both the multi-vehicle and single vehicle excesses in the event of an accident.

Drivers Qualifications

Each rider must be listed on the Rental Agreement and must present their driver’s license at the time of collection. There is an additional driver fee of just $5 for as many drivers as preferred.

Riders aged between 21 and 25 years of age are allowed to hire a motorcycle, however, are subject to higher multi-vehicle and single vehicle excess amounts although still amounting to the same in order to reduce the excess.
