Do I need to book a specific time, or can I just turn up?

Your ticket is date-only, so there is no fixed departure time. Arrive any time during store hours — 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM (April to October) or 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (November to March) — but note that the last rental is issued two hours before closing.

What ID and payment do I need at the store?

You must bring a valid photo ID and a credit card. The credit card is held as a security deposit for the bike — it is not charged unless there is damage or a late return.

Is there a weight limit for the bikes?

Yes — the maximum weight per bike is 136kg (approximately 300lbs).

Can I cancel my booking if my plans change?

Cancellation terms depend on the policy applied at checkout. Check the cancellation details on the booking confirmation page before you complete your purchase.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket is accepted — simply show your booking confirmation on your phone when you arrive at the store.
