Do you require a deposit?

We only require a deposit if you you opt out of our Hawaiian Style Coverage promotion. The Hawaiian Style Coverage Promotions covers 100% of theft, damage and downtime to your rental, includes roadside service for any flat tires or incidents, free parking for multiple day rentals, allows after hour returns for any rental due back at closing (not including the scoot coupes) and there’s no need to deal with any personal claim or deductible. Please note we still would need a credit or debit card on file for your rental.

If you choose to cover your own rental, and opt out of our Hawaiian Style Coverage, then we would require a credit card deposit from each person for their own rental. We’ll run a $200 credit card authorization for each moped, scoot coupe and motor scooter and a $100 credit card deposit per bike rental. Deposits can take up to two weeks to be released.

We do not accept cash deposits.
