You pay only for the damaged parts and the work of the master. Someone damaged the equipment, not You? Take money from someone, because the contract we signed with You, not with someone! Do not let the neighbors in the hotel, wives, girlfriends, friends try to ride a bike! As a result, you will pay. According to our statistics, 10 out of 10 who try for the first time-breaks the technique and not the fact that your neighbors will want to pay for damage to property!
- If you punched a wheel, you have to call on the tire and change it at your own expense. In case of internal breakage of the bike, you need to immediately report it.
- Taking insurance called "damage" You can not worry about the damage to the bike, but just enjoy the rest, the restoration of damage to Our bike (scratches, external damage) we take care of! The cost of such insurance for the entire rental period, only 1500 baht. Theft, total damage to equipment and damage to other people's equipment is not included in this price!

It is also forbidden to Park on the sidewalks, you can not go to the beach. In such places, the police are constantly on duty. Put a chain on the rear wheel, then you have to look for the beach police to pay the fine and pick up the bike.
- If there is no category a license, a fine of 500 baht is paid on the spot. You write out a receipt with which you continue to move, showing it to the police. They sometimes do not look at the date and miss, but it is necessary to know that this receipt is valid only one day. You should always wear helmets. The penalty for driving without a helmet - 500 baht per person. Plus, moving around in a helmet reduces the likelihood that you will stop to check, well, save your head when you fall from the bike: -) this is 100%.
- The steering wheel of the bike does not block, and do not close the keyhole, if it jams you open at your own expense at any service station. Bikes in Phuket do not steal, but purses should not be left in the glove compartment when you go to the beach.
- Please note that the prepayment required for pre-booking is non-refundable.
- Many tourists come to Phuket for the first time and immediately buy excursions, but, of course, want to ride around the island on a bike. You can rent a scooter in our office for 1 day, then hand it over, go on a tour, and, returning, renew the lease and ride again. But delivery bikes to the hotel for 1 day, we do not carry out, only when renting from 5 days! (shipping price depends on the holiday region).
- Note to rent a car: from the salt sea water on the car seats are formed white stains, to wash them will require dry cleaning of the cabin. Money on it will be deducted from your Deposit. Avoiding this is simple! Change after the beach or lay dry towels on the seats.
- As soon as we get the bikes back after renting, they go through a full inspection, repair if necessary, and our workers wash them thoroughly. Only after all these procedures bike again expose, and you can rent it.
- If you hit a tire, you have to stop by the tire shop and change it at your own expense. If the battery is dead in your key, you should go to the nearest supermarket and change it at your own expense In case of an internal breakdown of the bike, you need to immediately inform us about it.
IT IS NECESSARY TO RETURN THE CAR IN THE SAME CONDITION IN WHICH YOU RECEIVED IT!
1. Clean
2. No new damage
3. With fuel level not lower than that which was at reception
4. And at the same time, as received, unless otherwise agreed.
I want to focus on the first point!
Ideally, it is necessary to hand over the car after a car wash or at least not dirty!
This condition is especially true for those who take the car for a period of 10 days or more.
Don't worry, sinks in Phuket are very cheap. For example, to wash the car will cost only 200-300 baht-complex!
The car can not be washed, if you do not have time to pollute it so much that ALL the details of the BODY are PERFECTLY VISIBLE to the fact of damage, including the lower part of the bumpers, thresholds and wings.
Attention!
If objectively assess the condition of the car body is difficult or not possible due to its heavy pollution (at the discretion of the host), the Deposit is not returned to the client, before re-inspection, after washing the car!
The interior of the car must also be in adequate condition! In addition to the integrity of all its elements, I put special emphasis on the state of the upholstery and ceiling. Everything must be dry, without any stains, stains and smoke smell, otherwise the tenant pays for dry cleaning!
Attention!
I will explain at once, and that some can object supposedly "...We same money pay, still and wash need to...»
This is not an impudent principle, but a forced measure, which appeared thanks to unscrupulous tenants who specifically handed over cars dirty, hiding the damage to the body under a layer of dirt, claiming that there were no accidents. It was after these disappointments, the vehicles upon delivery must be at least as dirty, to just simply SEE the state of the body!
With regards to the second point about the damage, then:
The maximum liability of the Tenant in case of an accident in which he is wrong is:
* on passenger cars economy and standard class - 10 000 baht
* for SUV - 20 000 baht
In an accident in which the Tenant is right to pay nothing.
In case of any minor damage that the Tenant does himself, without the participation of second and third parties (for example, when Parking accidentally damaged the bumper), the Tenant is responsible for the Deposit, in proportion to the damage, but not more than the amount of maximum liability.
Assessment of the cost of damage and downtime is carried out by the car service.⠀
About the fuel level I think everything is clear.
And a reminder that the lease term is calculated in days, not days. For example, you took the car for 3 days, and you delivered it on Monday at 11: 00 am, so you will need to take the car on Thursday at 11: 00 am!
It follows that by default, the car will come to pick up at the same time at which it was brought To you, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
IMPORTANT TELEPHONE NUMBERS IN PHUKET

Going on vacation to Thailand, be sure to take care of insurance. Travel policy is quite inexpensive, and allows you to save a lot of money in the event of an insured event. Medicine in Thailand is extremely expensive.
Post about what? About insurance! For short trips up to 3 months we recommend "SOGAZ" - low price, the possibility of registration and payment online while already abroad, service in the best hospital in Phuket-Phuket international (at least a year and a half ago), never had to pay for honey.expenses by yourself. But as soon as 90 days pass from the moment of departure from the CIS, this insurance turns into a pumpkin they say, you are no longer a tourist and therefore travel insurance is not for you.
What about us? Annual insurance from " tit " covers everything, regardless of your departure from the homeland. Who read this post to the end, got the information we were looking for for five years of life in Thailand.
