Motorcycle Insurance & Damage Deposit
A deposit is required from the riders. The amount is indicated on the Detailed Itinerary of your trip, and differs depending on the destination.
The deposit is made through a bank imprint via our partner Swikly, but it is not debited from your account. At the beginning and end of your motorcycle trip, you will take part in an inspection of your motorcycle together with a representative of Vintage Rides.
The deposit may be retained in the event of damage to the motorcycle, or to cover the insurance excess in the event of an accident.
The price of any repairs and spare parts will be communicated to you for each destination in the travel documents.
