Simple rates and clear expectations
Pricing is straightforward with one- and two-hour options and an additional fee for a second rider; equipment is inspected before and after rental and renters sign a release of liability.
Age limits and paperwork
Passengers must be at least 16 to ride, and parents or guardians must sign for anyone under 18—operators require a signed rental agreement and hold renters responsible for damage and repair costs.
