​
2. MINIMUM RENTAL PERIOD
The minimum rental period is one day (24 hours). Pick-up is available any time after 8 AM on weekdays and Saturdays. All returns must be completed before 10 AM on the day of return. A late return will result in charge of additional rental days to the credit card provided as a guarantee.

The rental rates are calculated and quoted to the Renter upon booking the rental. As a rule, these prices include unlimited kilometers, mandatory liability insurance, and all applicable taxes. Various services are available for an additional cost.
​
5. RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENT TERMS
No booking is valid before 50% of the total rental price has been paid to CBR, and payment has been confirmed in writing by CBR. The balance payment must be completed prior to the handover of the motorcycle.
​
6. AVAILABILITY OF THE MOTORCYCLE
CBR strives to ensure that you ride the motorcycle you are confirmed on. Unfortunately, at times, certain unexpected and uncontrollable situations arise. This includes, but is not limited to, mechanical failure, collision damage, and theft. Should CBR not be able to replace a confirmed motorcycle with a similar size replacement or upgrade, a refund for the difference in service will be provided. This constitutes the maximum liability of CBR. During the rental CBR is not obligated to replace a damaged vehicle. CBR has the right to, at anytime, change prices, availability, limit rental and refuse any client to participate in any activity if CBR finds this to jeopardize the security or safety of the client, other clients, tour guides and other personnel, the vehicles and equipment or any third party. This includes, but not limited to, refusing to hand over the motorcycle or limiting riding in certain areas.

Cancellation more than 60 days before the rental is subject to a cancellation fee of USD $150 and the balance will be returned at renters expense. Cancellation up to 60 days prior to rental will be subject to a cancellation fee of 100% of the booking deposit. Cancellation must be made in writing. CBR is not required to make refunds once the rental period commences, regardless of the reason for you being unable to complete the rental period booked. Situations may arise where it is necessary for CBR to advance or postpone a scheduled rental and other travel arrangements. In that event, CBR does not assume responsibility for any resulting losses, expenses or inconvenience. In case of a cancellation, the renter will be notified right away. CBR will refund payment, which will constitute the full settlement. CBR is not liable for any additional costs or losses incurred by the renter due to the cancellation. This includes, but not limited to, the cost of airline tickets, hotel reservations or automobile rentals.
​

​
11. MOTORCYCLE CONDITION
CBR must deliver the motorcycle in good and safe technical conditions for circulation and make sure that all documents of the motorcycle are up to date and valid for the entire period of the rental. A motorcycle condition report will be made by an authorized mechanic before and after each rental. Any damages or mistreatment concluded and quoted in the return damage report are final and provide the basis for a possible charge to the Renters' credit card.
​
12. RENTERS LIABILITY
The Renter must ensure that they are legally entitled to drive a motorcycle. A valid license must be presented by the Renter. This license must be valid in the countries where the Renter will ride the motorcycle. The Renter is responsible for all fines, penalties and legal fees for traffic violations or other breaches of the law during the rental period of the motorcycle. CBR is authorized to charge the Renters credit card for any penalties and fines that occur during the rental and can deliver the identity and other personal information regarding the Renter to the local authorities if asked to do so. An administration fee of USD $50 will be charged in connection with every traffic violation, plus the cost of the fine. It is the Renters responsibility to ensure that the rented motorcycle:
a) Shall be used according to manufacturer’s recommendations b) Shall be used in full respect of highway codes of the countries in which it is ridden c) Shall not be used negligently d) Shall not carry more passengers than the approved capacity allow e) Shall not be used for racing or competition f) Shall not be used for illegal purposes g) Shall not carry more weight than allowed. h) Shall not be used by anyone except by Renter stated in the rental contract i) Shall not be used if the mechanical condition is deemed unsafe j) Shall not be used after consumption of illegal drugs or alcohol or other substances that could affect mental state of the rider k) Shall not be used when the Renters physical conditions are weakened by fatigue, injury or illness.
13. INSURANCE
Mandatory Liability insurance is included in the rental in all countries where such insurance is required. In Colombia, the mandatory liability insurance SOAT covers injuries to the rider, passenger or third party in connection with the motorcycle. It does not cover 3rd party property, nor damages or theft of the rental motorcycle.
​
We recommend that you check with your own insurance company first to find out if your Travel Insurance or Personal Property Insurance already covers damage and theft of rental vehicles. Some Credit Cards also offer good coverage for such incidents if you pay the rental using your Credit Card.
You are responsible for the full value of the motorcycle and all expenses including, but not limited to, recovery, loss, damage or theft of the bike.
The insurance does not cover recovery of the bike in case of un-repairable damages made to the bike and the Renter is solely responsible for all costs involved with returning a damaged bike to CBR in Colombia. CBR will go above and beyond to help recover damaged bikes at as low cost as possible and often at no cost at all if on tour with a support truck.
​
The Renter must comply with all terms and conditions in the rental contract and local laws. Police or other authorities might demand a blood test in connection with an accident. The result thereof might be used by the insurer to determine insurance settlements. Personal and third party property is not covered by this insurance.
​
14. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
Optional accessories such as helmets, luggage systems, tank bags, and other riding equipment are not covered by the insurance. The cost to repair or replace due to damage, loss or theft will be sustained by the Renter.
​
15. CONSUMABLES
The motorcycle will be delivered by CBR with tires, brake pads and the general maintenance in perfect conditions ready for normal use. In the case of rental periods longer than 7 days, the Renter is responsible for checking the oil level and brake pads and notifying CBR in case of excessive wear.
​
16. MECHANICAL FAILURE
In the case of mechanical failure, you must contact CBR immediately stating your location accurately and with detailed information about the failure. If repair is necessary and possible, you must obtain CBR's consent before making any repair. If repair is not possible, CBR will seek to replace the damaged motorcycle at the earliest possible opportunity. If for any reason the replacement is not possible, CBR shall reimburse you for the rental days not enjoyed. In the event of mechanical failures caused by falls, accidents or negligent use, CBR is not responsible for replacing the motorcycle or any reimbursement or recovery of an immobilized motorcycle.
​
17. PROCEDURE IN CASE OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT
In case of accident or injury, the Renter is required to immediately notify CBR by phone. Towing services and/or repair should only be called when agreed by CBR. Police and rescue resources must be notified immediately in the event of an accident. Note the names, addresses, phone numbers, driving license numbers and issuing authorities, brands, models and color registrations of vehicles, details of insurance (insurance company and policy number). Also, the contacts of any eyewitnesses should be collected, braking marks, and all the information that contributes to the correct and complete understanding of the sequence of events.
​

The loss of a key incurs a fee for replacement keys of up to USD $300.
​
19. DOCUMENTATION

Renter is responsible for these documents during the rental period and should return all documents at the end of this period.
