Before you rent out a bicycle, scooter or other similar vehicle, it is important to have your customers read and sign a comprehensive rental agreement. This type of agreement serves several important functions. First, it ensures that both parties understand what is to be expected from the rental, what sort of risks or dangers may be inherent, and what kind of behavior will be expected. Second, it limits the liability of the company renting the vehicle, preventing the renter from filing a claim against that company in the event an injury or injuries occur during the use of the vehicle. It also protects the company against suits by third parties that are injured by renter’s use of the bicycle, requiring the renter to indemnify the company for any damages or losses resulting from such an eventuality.

This kit includes tools and instructions to assist you in preparing a bicycle/scooter rental agreement. The agreement includes a release and waiver of claims and an indemnification provision.
